Mad. reg. 1, 2, 3, cc. Rocks in ail the principal ravines, espe- 
cially near cascades or down which water trickles, above 2000 ft. ; 
and in the north on the sea-cliffs also. Apr. -July. — A smooth 
straggling or loosely branched shr. 2-5 ft. high wholly in- 
odorous whilst fresh. Branches stiff rather brittle ascending 
and rising corymbosely or candelabra-like all to the same 
height, leafy upwards only, the old dried or withered 1. persistent 
and pendulous below the new. L. crowded 4-5 in. long (in- 
cluding petiole), 1-1 1 in. broad, full bright gr. and shining, 
oblong-lanceolate subobtuse, gradually cuneato-attenuate down- 
wards, not deeply (i. e. but little more than halfway down to 
the midrib) pinnatifid or lobed, the lobes equal close broad 
leafy with their edges and the tips of their sharp teeth or ser- 
ratures marginato-sphacelate. Cyme terminal mostly ample 
and many-fld., 6-12 in. broad but sometimes, as on sea-cliffs in 
the north, few(2-5)-fld. Uppermost or floral 1. spathulate-ob- 
long nearly or quite entire. Fl. large conspicuous, the ray 
always pure w., disk golden-y., 1-2 in. in diam., rising just 
above the 1. iu terminal cymes, all of which unite into one 
large corymbose sheet of blossom covering the bush. Ped. 
slender striated subquadrangular, not thickened upwards. Heads 
in bud depressedly globose. Pericline in fl. hemispherical or 
shal low-cup-shaped, in fr. more flattened ; scales imbricate very 
unequal, the outer shortly and broadly ovate or triangular- 
ovate subacute gr. fleshy-herbaceous with dark coffee-brown 
scarious tips and edges, the inner broadly or almost wholly 
membranaceo-scarious very obtuse or lacerato-spathulate, their 
broad dilated pale drab-brown tips spreading or reflexed, form- 
ing a lacerate membranous horizontal or recurved sort of frill 
or collar close beneath the ray. Disk at first flat then convex, in 
fr. hemispherically conic, 4-1 in. broad. Tube of all the florets 
smooth. Ligules 10-20 about f in. long, 2 lines broad, elliptic- 
oblong or ligulate. Recept. in fr. either moderately i. e. hemi- 
spherically, or highly i. e. pyramidally conoidal, the base being
