gard its culture or propagation, differing from the reft of its congeners; was fent from the Cape; by 
_ Mr. Niven, in 1800. Flowers in July. The leaves of this fpecies have moft affinity, in appearance, 
to thofe. of G, melananthum, particularly in being like them frequently eared, and even fometimes 
_ winged. We have named it, fpecifically, from the fingular reyolute character of the involucrum, at 
the bafe of each bunch of flowers.
