■Whole plant 6-12 in. high. Leaves 2-3 in. Heads pale ; invol. bracts sparsely 

 cottony, inner sometimes red; corolla ^ in. ; tube very slender, limb inclined. Achenes 

 1 in., crowned -with the stout thickened base of the style ; pappus ^ in., -white, shining, 

 innermost hairs very stiff, t^wo much longer than the others and flattened. — Boissier's 

 description is drawn up from very imperfect materials. The basal areole of the acheno 

 refers this plant to JnrincEa, but it is a Serratida in habit. 



DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



J. EosuiATA, Klait ill Sitzungsb. Munch. AJcad. 1878, 96; from the Punjab and 

 Kashmir. — The few words of description does not enable me to say whether this is a 

 Jurinea or not ; the appendaged invol. bracts produced into a long spine are unlike 

 those of any Indian species. 



J. GNAPHALioiDES, Klatt I. c. ; also from the Punjab. — This also is undeterminable 

 from the meagre description.
