IS 5>ENTANDRIA M0N0&YNIA. AndroSCtCC. 



sessile, lancolate, acute, broad at the base, tufted, becoming scat- 

 lered; 'umbel peduncled, woolly, round, with pedicels equalling the 

 linear, involucels; calyx woolly, live-leaved, equalling the ventricose 

 tube ; throat much contracted. 



Communicated together with the following species by my es- 

 teemed friend Dr. Go van from the Sirmore mountains. 



My specimen appears to be caulescent, somewhat branchy and 

 adscending, every part of it covered with white, soft, long, shining 

 wool. — Leaves about half an inch long, by three lines broad, dotted 

 between the copious hairs, scattered as the stem lengthens, but at 

 first tufted.— -Peduncle four or five inches long, erect, woolly, termi- 

 nal or lateral. Umbel scarcely an inch in diameter, with about a 

 dozen short-pedi celled, rose-coloured flozoers ; pedicels about one- 

 fourth of an inch long, together with the involucels and calyces 

 woolly. — Leaves of the calyx linear cuneate. Limb of the corolla 

 flat, with obovate laciniee ; throat with an elevated ring, contracted. 

 — Ovarium turbinate ; style short, stigma capitate. 



Obs. This little species approaches to A.- incana, Lam. Illustr. 

 i. 432 and Poiret's Suppl. to the Encycl. Bot, i. 359 : but appears 

 to differ sufficiently in the leaves being larger, and the pedicels not 

 exceeding the involucre in length. That species seems besides to 

 be without stem, while mine is caulescent. — N. W. 



4. A. incisa, Wall. 



Stemless ; leaves reniform, lobed and dentate, petioled, hairy ; 

 umbels many-flowered, with lobed involucels, equalling the pedicels j 

 ealyx much larger than the corolla. 



This interesting species is exceedingly different from all the others. 

 It is thinly beset with white, soft, spreading hairs. — J^eaves reniform, 

 or reniform-orbicular, about an inch in the transversal diameter, very 

 obtuse ; sinus at the base large, margin incised, lobes ovate, close to- 

 gether, with three or four ovate, acute, large teeth, incisures narrow ; 

 petiols hairy, three times longer than the leaves.— Umbels, several from
