Gen. Char. Involucrum ( common calyx ) (fig. 1.) hemisphe- 
rical, closely imbricated, with numerous, roundish, convex scales, 
membranous and dilated at their margin, especially the innermost 
(see fig. 4.), which terminate in more or less of a dry, filmy, often 
jagged appendage. Corolla (see fig. 2.) compound, radiant ; florets 
of the disk very numerous, perfect, tubular, level-topped, with 
5 equal, spreading segments (see fig. 3.) ; florets of the ray more 
than 12, strap-shaped, spreading, elliptic-oblong, with 3 terminal 
teeth (see fig. 4). Filaments 5, in tubular florets only, hair-like, 
short. Anthers (see fig. 5.) forming a notched tube. Germen (see 
figs. 3 to 6.) in all the florets inversely egg-shaped. Style (see figs. 
5 & 6.) a little prominent. Stigmas spreading, oblong, Lluntish, 
generally uniform. Seed-vessel none, except the dry, spreading 
involucrum, a little inflexed at the margin (see fig. 1, a). Seed 
(fig. 7.) in all the florets oblong, or inversely egg-shaped, striated, 
blunt, without pappus or border. Receptacle (see fig. 1, 6.) naked, 
rather convex. 
The hemispherical, imbricated involucrum ; the scales with a 
dilated membranous border ; the naked receptacle ; and the seed 
without any pappus or border; will distinguish this from other 
genera, with radiant flowers, in the same class and order. 
Two species British.
