draceis carnosis, involucro oinnino nullo. — Although so very different in the substance 
of its leaves, Ibis is evidenlly of Ihe same genus as the last, having equally woody and 
dichotomous stems, but these are more rugged with the membranaceous bases of the 
fallen leaves. The peduncles are thik and stout, longer than the leaves, one to five at 
the extremily of the branches. There is no involucre, the heads of flowers are exactly 
globose, and the paleae are as in the last species {E. biq)leuroides). Fruit exactly 
that of an Ei'i/ngium^ slightly 4 -angular, and minutely tuberculated. Styles much 
shorter than in E. hupleuroides. — If characters be afterwards found to distinguish 
this section as a genus, the name given by Bertero must be changed, in consequence 
of a previous Lessonia of Bory de St. Vinc. ; but we ourselves cannot perceive any 
sufficient difference in the flower or fruit frorn those of Eryngium.«-
