Intermediate between G. Burkei Harv. and G. Zeyheri Harv., 
having, broadly speaking, the large heads of the former and the 
latter’s narrow and involute leaves. The leaves are, however, con- 
siderably shorter than those of G. Zeyheri, and, being crowded upon 
the branches, give the plant quite a different appearance. Further 
differences from G. Zeyhert are the absence of ray-florets, the 
narrower inner involucral leaves, and the shorter and weaker awns 
to (sometimes even absent from) the inner scales of the pappus.
