Pulfmafff (hntata, Lahill. 



A widespread species, with narrow-lanceolate concave leaves, 

 and imbricate bracts, covering the dense heads in bud. The species

Pulteiiaea sivhiimhellata , HK. 



A species with heads more capitate than subund>ellatc, and flat 

 or slightly concave leaves, and a small hairy calyx, witii hairy 

 bracteoles well under the calyx. This last character, along with tlie-

 calyx. Flowers axillary, not capitate, as in P. subiimU'llata.
