uary, 1899, Snodgrass & Heller, no. 910 (hb. Gr.) ; mountain east of 
Tagus Cove, alt. 770 m., Snodgrass & Heller, no. 254 (hb. Gr.). 
Narsorouau Ist.: abundant in southern part at 600 m. alt., forming

last specimen is sterile and somewhat doubtful. It has leaves 7 cm. 
long and 3 cm. broad. Endemic. Pxrate 3, ries. 2 and 3. 
S. microcephala is well marked among its congeners by its small and 
more numerous heads, also by the presence of an abortive pappUs- 
These features, however, in the presence of an otherwise close resem- 
blance to the genus Scalesia do not appear to form any good ground 
for generic separation.
