the limb somewhat campanulate, the lobes 4, ovate, obtuse, 1 mm 
long or less; style-arms 1.5 to 2 mm long. Achenes, in anthesis, 
flattened, about 1 mm long, when mature slightly curved, smooth, 
glabrous, flattened, sligtltly curved, narrowly oblong, about 4 mm 
long and 1 mm wide, rather distinctly keeled inside and obscurely 
so outside, slightly narrowed at the tip and crowned with the 
very minute obscure corona.

The alliance of this new genus is with Chrysanthellum and Glossogyne, 
but it differs radically from both of these in many characters. It is 
distinguished from both in being nearly acaulescent and stoloniferous, and 
in its solitary, long-peduncled heads. Among other characters it differs 
from Glossogyne in its unowned achenes and from Chrysanthellum in being 
perennial, unbranched or with but the very short thickened branches of the 
caudex, in its solitary, long-peduncled heads, crowed, subrosulate, long- 
^ petioled leaves, and other characters. The long-petioled leaves, which are 
oblong-obovate in outline, subtruncate and prominently 3- or 5-toothed at the 
apex, and cuneately narrowed below, are very characteristic. 
The new genus is dedicated to Dr. Leon Ma. Guerrero in commemoration 
of his knowledge of Philippine pharmacy and botany and his deep interest 
in the study of our local medicinal plants.
