had confounded it originally with his C. saxatilis, it may fairly 
he presumed that it was at least partly his authority (possibly 
his very a H. U.” spec.) for the C. rupestris of his subsequent 
Mantissa, and that he merely neglected or forgot to make the 
proper alteration in his Herbarium. This however, although 
probable, seems not quite to warrant the insertion of a ! after 
his name in quoting the Mantissa. 
3. G. calycinum (Cav.). 
Habit and foliage like the last with stout robust short 
branches and linear erect straight crowded very entire upper 1. 
with strongly revolute margins ; ped. distinctly thickened up- 
wards, mostly geminate ; heads in bud depresso-globose um- 
bilicate, in fl. ventricosely hemispherical large as broad afe long j 
scales all loosely imbricate erect pale brown and membranaceo- 
scarious with plicate undulate or lacerato-serrate edges and all 
or about the lower half of them broadly rounded oval obovate 
or shortly spathidate and very obtuse or retuse , the inner ligulate 
or oblong and lacerato-truncate ; teeth of all the florets obtuse

Dry sunny rocks at or near the south end of the ridge or crest

Feb.-June. On this spot alone I found first in Febr. 1827 a very 
few pi. only, and this for several years successively, of which 
I sent spec, to the late Prof. De Candolle and to HB. and HK., 
which are still extant. But the locality has been since com- 
pletely changed by cultivation ; and the pi. has escaped all 
later researches on the spot or elsewhere in Mad. except those 
of Dr. Findley, from whom there is a small but excellent spec, 
in HK. 
The following description was taken in 1832 from fresh or 
living spec. 
Whole pi. entirely scentless and without any “odor gravis,” 
ascribed by Linnaeus to his Conyza rupestris , but which I never 
observed in the Mad. G. rupestre or G. saxatile ; larger and 
stouter than the latter in all its parts and less branched or 
bushy. Branches fragile often somewhat straggling or irre- 
gular but mostly straight short erect and stiff or rigid, white 
and tomentose especially while young. L. perfectly sessile 
or subsemiainplexicaul but in no degree hastate or decurrent,
