honey in abundance. It also appears that the hairs of the 
receptacle are not twisted spirally as in other Barnadesias, 
but are soft and straight. 
The dissections at the bottom of the plate fully explain 
the structure of this plant : 1 . is a perpendicular section of 
the receptacle and involucrum, shewing the straight short 
hairs of the former ; 2. is a floret with its shaggy ovary, stiff 
unequal feathery pappus, and two-lipped corolla ; 3 . is one 
of the feathers of the pappus ; 4. shews the stamens, with the 
five filaments and syngenesious anthers ; 5 . is the style and 
simple stigma. 
It is a warm greenhouse plant, and should be kept during 
winter in an intermediate house, between a stove and green- 
house, where the temperature averages 47°, or as near as pos- 
sible. It may be grown in a compost consisting of peat, 
loam, and sand, in equal proportions. Water should be libe- 
rally given in summer, but sparingly in winter, otherwise the 
plant would naturally suffer from "damp, being a native of 
elevated situations. It is propagated by cuttings, or seeds, in 
the usual manner.
