G. BurchelUi was discovered by the eminent and gifted traveller 

 William Burchell between Kaffir Drift (Date Tree Station), Blaauw 

 Krantz and the Kowie River in September 29, 1813, in the Bathurst 

 Division ; it exhibits an affinity to G. Galpinii in the glabridity of the 

 leaves, but is at once distinguished by their different form, their 

 toothing, and prominent nervation. The pappus, moreover, is of a 

 distinct reddish tinge.
