306 Notes on Indian Botany. 



wings. Herbaceous annuals with opposite or alternate den- 

 tate leaves : petioles winged and auricled at the base : capitula 

 loosely corymbose: receptacle convex paleaceous: paleae mem- 

 branaceous lanceolate : flowers yellow. [D. C. seems not to 

 regard this as an Indian genus : but as I have, apparently, 

 native specimens, which may however have been introduced, 

 I give it a place in this list.] 



48. Chrysanthellum, (Rich. D. C. 5-630). Capitula 

 radiate ligulae 1-series female, linear bidentate ; disk herma- 

 phrodite, 5-toothed : branches of the style in the hermaphro- 

 dite flowers appendiculate : achaenia bald, exterior ones oblong, 

 emarginate or with a short cartilaginous wing on each side. 

 Herbaceous annuals: branches 1-cephalous at the apex: capi- 

 tula small : involucrum 2-series : scales of the exterior ones 

 shorter, interior 10, somewhat coloured ; receptacle flat: with 

 linear paleae : flowers yellow. 



49. Glossocardia, (Cass. D. C. 5-631). Capitula few 

 flowered, flowers of the ray 1-2 or 0, female ; of the disk her- 

 maphrodite, tubular 4- toothed : achaenia of the disk obcom- 

 pressed, very villous on the 4-angles, somewhat 2-winged, 

 crowned with 2-rigid smooth bristles from the lateral angles. 

 Herbaceous diffuse plants with alternate pinnatifid leaves : 

 involucrum oblong, imbricated : receptacle covered with nar- 

 row membranaceous paleae : capitula short peduncled : flowers 

 yellow. 



50. Glossogyne, (Cass. D. C. 5-632). Capitula heteroga- 

 mous, flowers of the ray ligulate, female ; of the disk herma- 

 phrodite: styles of the hermaphrodite short, elongated into 

 two long rough stigmas : achaenia linear, angled, bearing two 

 retrorsely hispid bristles. Erect glabrous herbs, with alter- 

 nate pinnatifid leaves congested near the base : stems nearly 

 naked : capitula erect ebracteate : involucrum short adpressed, 

 2-scries : receptacle paleolate : flowers yellow.
