briuscula. The pappus of the floret of the ray, in all the species, is at least a half shorter than the corolla, 
while that of the disk is almost as long as the corolla. We have some doubts whether this genus ought to be 
placed next Palafoxia, among the Eupatoriaceas, or next Hymenopappus, as has been proposed by De 
Candolle. The branches of the style are long, linear, and acuminated, and we have not perceived any trace 
of the “short obtuse cone” which De Candolle describes; the branches are hirsute from a little above their 
separation to the very apex : all this agrees with Eupatorinecs, but here, if we mistake not, the stigmatic lines 
run on to the summit.

Very closely allied to C. Douglasii or Hymenopappus Douglasii, Hook. Flor. Bor. Am. 1. p. 316, 
which is still retained in the latter genus by De Candolle, although it has the short outer pappus and 
the widened florets of the ray of Chcenactis. C. Douglasii is more glabrous than the present species, has 
the pinnse of the leaves larger and less divided, the involucre large and nearly hemispherieal, and very densely 
or almost tomentosely pubescent, the pappus, as w’ell as the hairs of the hirsutely villous achenia, tawny, and 
the branches of the style straight and much exserted. The first three species have the tube of the corolla 
glabrous, and the scales of the pappus about five or six ; but in C. achillecefolia and C. Douglasii, the tube is 
more or less glandular, and the scales of the pappus from eight to twelve.

This is frequently cultivated under the name of Lasthenia Californica, but has the involucre of 10 or 12 
distinct scales. 
2. B. tenerrima. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 664. 
We have not seen this plant ; perhaps it is a mere variety of the preceding.

A species with quite the habit of Pectis, 
1. Lasthenia glaberrima. De Cand. Prod. b.p. 664. {excl. syn.) 
This species has a pappus, but L. Californica, Lindl., referred here by De Candolle, has none, and is, we 
conceive, a mere form of the following. Under the name of L. Californica we have received both Burrielia 
gracilis and also Lasth. glaberrima.
