“Allied to H. expansum Less., from which it can be told by the 
usually more numerous florets to its smaller, differently shaped and 
more closely aggregated capitula, whose inner involucral scales have 
a shorter and relatively Pan inet The appendages are 
convex, not flat, and have a solid marbly appearance, whence the 
specific name. lthoug ae rib easily described in words, the 
differences between the two species here contrasted are sufficiently 
striking when the plants are carefully examined. 
Helichrysum (CurysoLermera § Sracwapina) Danaé, SP. nov.

Elosely allied to H. ae um Klatt, from which its smaller almost 
glabrous leaves, more closely congested narrower capitula (a cha- 
racter seen still more strikingly in comparison with Rehmann, No. 
6092, which is certainly H. floccosum Klatt), narrower acuminate 
involucral leaves, and papillose achenes, are points whereby it can 
readily be told.
