Recept. naked pyramidally conic. 
All the ach. are considerably smaller than in either A. pin- 
natifidum (L. fil.) or A. hcematornma (Lowe). 
A very distinct and fine sp., characterized at once by its pec- 
tinate finely divided foliage. In the Canary Islands I have 
seen nothing at all approaching it. Webb’s fig. 2 (t. 95) in 
foliage is much more like Arg. hcematornma Lowe, from a 
scrap of which it possibly may have been taken ; but f. 4 re- 
presents very fairly a leaf of the present pi.

(Like Chrysanthemece except the chaffy recept.)

or spathulate regularly and equably or pectinatelv serrato-pin- 
natifid 4-6 times as long as broad, the rachis broad ligulate, 
the pinnae short remote distinct parallel laciniately 1-2-pinna- 
tisect, in the upper 1. entire, segm. or lacinise short acute cuspi- 
date ; heads radiate solitary terminal ; ligules y. at the base, 
presently reflexed ; scales of inv. always close-pressed ; tube of 
fl. produced downwards at their base on the inner side into a 
pointed dimidiate hood or calyptra-like spur half embracing 
the ach. ; chaffs lanceolate acute concave carinate or narrow- 
boatshaped with a prominent coloured keel, pilose towards the 
tip ; ach. greenish finely and closely striolate lengthwise. —
