uppermost -waved, shallowly nmciuato-sinuate with more or less 
numerous intermediate unequal denticles or minute setaceous 
teeth, the uppermost entire but fringed with subulate denticles 
or short setules. FI. paler y. and smaller than usual, about an 
inch in diam. Ped. divaricate slender a little thickened and 
mostly subcompressed close below the anthodium, naked or 
with only an occasional hr. or two at top, densely clothed with 
short glandular black setules and slightly cottony with vr. or 
mealy pubescence. Heads always narrow-oblong or cylindric, 
mealy and densely glandular-liairy at the base ; calycle of about 
6 unequal erect but lax or scarcely close-pressed scales linear- 
acuminate like the inner and about of their length, all quite 
smooth and naked inside, densely clothed outside with glan- 
dular hairs or setules (black or dark-coloured at the base) and 
more or less hoary with a thin mealy w. cottony tomentum. 
Fits, somewhat lax not very numerous. Ach. whilst young beak- 
less or of equal diam. throughout, when ripe gradually attenuated 
into a beak i of their whole length. Pappus scarcely longer 
than the ach., sessile at first, shortly stalked in the mature fr.

ii. 461, t. 123, a spec, of which, sent to me by Webb in Oct. 
1829, I then in litt . wrongly referred to my Barkhcmsia liiera- 
cioides, is certainly a distinct sp. characterized by its entirely 
smooth st., ped. and midrib of 1., its short ovate st.-l. broadly 
dilated at the base, and its densely setose-hispid heads ventricose 
in fr. — approaching indeed in this Inst point, as in its low leafy ha- 
bit, C. divaricata rather than C. hieracioides. I found it not un- 
commonly from Jan. to Apr. on all the heights about Aria in the A. 
of Lanzarote in 1858 and 1859. There is also in BH. a spec, from

Distinguished at once from the preceding sp., but almost 
solely, by its dark gr. 1. all over glandular-hispid or pubescent, 
like those of Thrincia hispida Roth ; in other respects much 
resembling C. hieracioides, of which it may very possibly prove 
to have been a mere chance hispid-leaveS form or var. This 
must remain however undetermined for the present. For if 
on the one hand and in favour of its union with C. hieracioides , 
the sp. rests on a mere single individual, on the other hand its 
distinctness is supported by the facts that no ambiguous forms 
connecting it with that sp. have occurred, and that it grew and 
subsequently flowered side by side with pi. of var. of that 
variable sp., each preserving its own peculiarities.— Prim. 25;
