 toul and Ben Nevis, Gibbs ! Bryant ! 3,000ft. to 5,500ft. 



Closely related to S. robustus : the leaves, however, are more coriaceous, the midrib is 

 prominent beneath, the flower-beads are less numerous, while the peduncles, pedicels, and invo- 

 lucres are nearly glabrous. 



26. S. Monroi, Hook. /., FL N.Z. ii. 333. A much-branched slender 

 shrub, 2ft.— 6ft. high. Branches, petioles, and leaves beneath clothed with

 Nelson : Wangapeka, Kingsley ! Ascends from 1,000ft. to 4,500ft. Deo., Jan. 



Distinguished from S. compactus by the narrower leaves, broader corymbs, glandular invo-
