 narrowed into the petiole, and the linear-oblong calyx-lobes. I have seen neither- 

 stipules nor bracts. — Leaves 2-3 by 1^-2 in., somewhat shining above, opaque 

 beneath, veins very inconspicuous ; petiole slender, f in. Heads 1^ in. diam. Cap- 

 sules turgid, J in., on very slender pedicels. — Maingay's specimens are very pale 

 coloured.
