This pretty Gnaphalium has much resemblance to Anaphalis on account 

 of its petal oid bracts. But the disc flowers being all fertile, this must be 

 taken into Gnaphalium.

 erectis 5-6 cm. altis simplicibus. Folia omnia radicalia oblanceolata, margene

Although the specimen is destitute of a flower, it bears fruits from 

 which J. determined that this belongs to Ainsliaea. This interesting Ain- 

 sliaea is very like in its stature to the Japanese A. apiculata, but rather 

 more elegant. It differs mainly by the form of its leaves. 



The species belonging to this genus are rather small in number.
