DAISIES AND EVERLASTINGS.

often looked upon solely as a New South Wales 
species, has also been found in East Victoria, but it 
is not common there. It is a perennial plant, and 
very attractive with its petal-like bracts, which are 
similar in appearance to strips of soft white flannel. 
The general appearance of the flower woiild lead one 
to suppose that it should be placed in the daisy 
family. But the flower structure differs considerably 
from the daisies, and it is placed naturally in the 
Umbelliferae order. The whole plant is exceedingly 
attractive; the clean flannel-like appearance of the 
flower, which is not at all stiff, the firm stems which 
show off the flower so well, the white hairy or wooUy 
vestiture of the stem and the foliage, all combine to 
form a most dainty and decorative plant.
