1. F. germanica (L.) ; cottony, st. proliferous at the summit, 
1. lanceolate wavy acute, heads obscurely 5-angled half sunk in 
tomentum forming axillary and terminal clusters not surrounded 
and overtopped by 1., phyll. longitudinally folded linear cuspidate 
with glabrous points.—Gnaphalium Sm., E. B.946.—Grey. St. 
erect or ascending, 4—12 in. long, usually simple below, bearing 
a solitary terminal cluster of heads, afterwards producing from 
just. below it 2 erect branches which are again proliferous. Heads 
20—40 in each cluster, reentering angles obsolete, 1. nearest to 
the cluster much narrowed upwards and acute. Tips of pbyll. 
yellow, rarely reddish.—Dry fields. A. VII. VIII. 
2. F. apiculata (G. E. Sm.); cottony, st. proliferous at the 
summit, /. all oblong blunt apiculate, heads prominently 5-angled 
half sunk in tomentum forming lateral axillary and terminal 
clusters surrounded and overtopped by 1—2 blunt 1., phyll. boat- 
shaped cuspidate with glabrous points.—G. E. Sm.! im Phytol.

Smelling like tansey. St. mostly erect, with short branches 
below. Heads larger than in F. germ., 10—20 in a eluster, re- 
entering angles deep; cluster often seeming lateral from only 1 
branch being produced just below it; 1. nearest to the cluster 
scarcely narrowed upwards, blunt, apiculate. Tips of phyll. 
purple.—Sandy places. A. VII. VIII. E. 
3. F. spathulata (Presl.); silky, st. 2—3-chotomous, 1. oblong- 
obovate, heads prominently 5-angled not deeply sunk in tomentum 
forming axillary and terminal clusters overtopped by 2—3 acute 
1., phyll. euspidate boatshaped with glabrous pomts.—F. Jussiei 
Atl. Fl. Par. t. 26.—Whitish. St. usually branched from near 
its base. Heads larger than those of F. germ., 3—15 in each 
cluster, reentermmg angles very deep. Tips of phyll. yellow.—

4. F. minima (Fr.); st. dichotomously branched, 1. linear-lan- 
ceolate acute flat adpressed, heads conical in lateral and termimal 
clusters longer than the leaves, phyll. bluntish cottony with gla- 
brous points.—F. B.1157. Gnaphalium Sm.—St. slender, erect, 
2—6 in. high, branched, the branches dichotomous, or prostrate 
and spreading. FI. yellowish in very small heads. Whole plant

5. F. gallica (L.) ; st. dichotomously branched, ?. linear acute, 
heads conical in axillary terminal clusters shorter than the leaves, 
outer phyll. cottony with bluntish glabrous points gibbous at the 
base and inclosing the marginal fr—E. B. 2369. Gnaphalium
