560 CLASSIFICATION AND DIVISION OF 
I have placed at the end two doubtful species, namely, 
M. u7iiflora and phylicoides^ both of which differ very ma- 
terially from the other species in the structure of their pap- 
pus. The former has leaves very similar to those of M. 
pungens^ and agreeing with them also in their position ; but 
the latter has the leaves truly concave on the under surface, 
and convex above,

Involucrum polyphyllum, imbricatum, scariosum, colora- 
turn ; foemineis connivens. Receptaculum planum, epalea- 
tum, scrobiculatum. Flosculi dioici ; masculi tubulosi, 5- 
dentati ; J&mm^i tenuissimi, filiformes: Umbo minuto, obli- 
quo, 3-denticulato. Anther oe basi biplumatse. Stigma ex- 
sertum, bipartitum laciniis obtusis ; masculis inclusum, in-

There are several remarkable peculiarities relating to the 
flowers of the different sexes, some of which appear to me not 
to have been before remarked. The first is, that the involu- 
cra of the male flowers, those most frequently described, are 
more highly coloured, generally spherical, with the scales 
broad, obtuse, loosely imbricated or spreading, the inner- 
most ones forming a ray considerably longer than the florets 
and pappus. The florets are also shorter than the pappus,
