158 Notes on Indian Botany. 



cordate, unequally crenato- dentate, auricled at the base ; mid- 

 dle ones ovate lanceolate, short petioled; upper floral ones 

 linear lanceolate, all nearly glabrous above, and tomentose 

 beneath. Capitula corymbose, long pedicelled, heterogamous. 

 Involucrum one series, squamae cohering at the base, linear 

 lanceolate, mucronate. Receptacle conical foviolate. Ligula 

 linear, 4-nerved, about 8-sterile. Style and stigma none. 

 Flowers of the disk tubular, enlarging at the throat, sub- 

 infundibuliform, 5-cleft, the segments with a distinct mid-rib. 

 Anthers ecaudate. Stigmas recurved, truncated. Achsenium 

 10-nerved; nerves setosely hispid : pappus none. 



CYATHOCLINE. 



Cyathocline lutea, (Law, MSS., R. W. Icones 1150.) 

 Annual erect : leaves nearly all radical bipinnatifid ; thickly 

 beset with minute transparent glands (?) stems erect scape- 

 like, somewhat ramous : branches axillary slender bearing 

 several capitula on the apex : flowers yellow. 



Hab. — Thannah District near Bombay. Law. 



Obs. — Mr. Law recently sent me specimens of this very 

 pretty little plant, which is at once distinguished from the 

 rest of the genus by its bright golden yellow flowers ; while its 

 scapiform habit, and mossy looking leaves, shew, that it is a 

 very distinct species. Its whole height varies from three to 

 about six or seven inches : the largest leaves do not exceed 

 an inch in length, and are so delicate, that, after drying, they 

 require the aid of considerable magnifying power to show their 

 structure. 



In addition to this I received from Mr. Law, specimens of 

 other two species, under the names of G. lyrata and C. stricta. 

 It was long before I detected the difference between these two 

 species, as given by D. C, probably from having a specimen of 

 each under one name, which led me to confuse the characters,
