Rib. de S. Jorge, a little above the place where the stream 
iills up the whole breadth of the abruptly contracted ravine from 
rock to rock i. e. about half a mile above the subsequently dis- 
covered fossil-leaf-bed ; a single pi., Sept. 17th 1829, growing 
with others of C. hieracioides (3 amongst loose rocks and stones 
in the bed of the ravine, with root-1, only. From this, trans- 
planted into my garden in the Caminho do 'S alle, and dower- 
ing, all through May following, side by side with other pi. of 
C. hieracioides (3 brought from the same spot, the following 
description, written simultaneously with the preceding one of C. 
hieracioides (3 and under the full impression at the time of the two 
pi. being specifically diderent, is copied from my note-book : — 
Root bienn. or at least hapaxanthous, long simple fusiform 
deshy whitish. Whole pi. hispid. St. 2-3 ft. high erect 
straight solitary branched upwards onh / above the middle in a 
forked paniculate manner, hollow, dense/)/ clothed throughout with 
patent or slightly dedexed shortish glandular whitish hairs, whose 
base is often black or purplish and summit tipped with a w. 
globose gland. Lower and middle part of st. round and even 
(not ribbed or striated), branches and ped. angular or ribbed. 
L. shining dark gr., their upper surface hirsute or pubescent all 
over and margins fringed with short unequal glandular hairs ; 
beneath, the ribs only furnished with longer more copious hairs, 
leaving the interstices smooth and shining. Root-1, before the 
appearance of the 11. in a radical tuft, then withering, oblong, 
acute, 4 or 5 in. long, 1 in. broad, nearly entire, with dne sub- 
setaceous distant shallow runcinate teeth, much resembling the 
1. of Thrincia hispida Roth. St.-l. sessile one at each fork of 
the branches semiamplexicaul cordato-angular but not eared 
or dilated at the base, oblong-acuminate, waved and subsi- 
nuate with distant shallow runcinate teeth ; the uppermost 
linear-acuminate quite entire. Cyme spreading with distant 
forked striated or angular branches. FI. distant rather large 
I \ in. in diam., rather paler y. than usual. Red. slender diva- 
ricate naked or with only 1 or two distant linear hr., densely 
glandular-hairy. Heads slender oblong, in all stages densely 
hairy with blackish glandular hairs ; calycle of about 6 erect not 
very close-pressed long linear acuminate scales, after flowering 
more lax but not at all spreading, densely bristly like the 
twice as long linear inner scales. Fits, few with rather lax and 
elongated ligules. Ach. (unripe) oblong or cylindric ribbed 
with very fine close transverse lines or granulations between 
the ribs, giving them a slightly scabrous appearance. Pappus 
simple pilose silky, perfectly sessile in the immature ach., as 
margin of its cells or pits membranous and shortly laccrato- 
fimbriate or bristly.
