Hab. Pegu and Martaban, not unfrequent along tlie banks of the 

 Sittang ; most probably also elsewhere. — Fl. Fr. May. 



The ligulate ray-florets seem to be sometimes absent, at least in 

 dried specimens they appear so. The Egyptian plant agrees in all parts 

 with the Indian, but appears to be often ray-less. 



N. B. Gonyza angustifolia, Eoxb. Fl. Ind. III. 429. (DC. Prod. V. 

 83), appears from the description and MS. figure to be a luxuriant form 

 of E. Canadensis, L., or E. linifolius, Willd., and is, therefore, hardly an 

 Andamanese plant.

Pubescent ; leaves rather small, ovate to linear-lanceolate, repand -toothed, acuminate ; 



peduncles and involucral bracts hoary pubescent, G. Nepalensis. 



Pubescent, the root tuberous ; leaves more or less laciniate to pinnatifid ; peduncles 



and involucre -bracts less hairy, G. sinuata.

Hab. Frequent in the eng- and low forests of the Sittang valley in 

 Pegu, and in those of Martaban. — Fl. April, May ; Fr. June. 



As long as it is young, the plant looks almost scapif erous and the leaves 

 are then simpler and smaller, but at the rate that the tuberous roots 

 enlarge the plant becomes more robust, larger, and branched from the base 

 with the leaves up to 7 in. long.
