3. H. angustifolia. De Cand. Prod. b.p. 692. 
We have seen no specimen according with the description given of this. 
4. H. (Olocarpha) sericea ; caule herbaceo erecto cano-tomentoso apice corymbose, 
foliis lineari-lanceolatis utrinque attenuatis 3-5-nerviis subdenticulatis cano-sericeis eglan- 
dulosis, involucre ebracteato hispidulo, acbeniis estipitatis obovatis gibbis muticis, re- 
ceptaculi paleorum serie exteriore basi gamopliyllo. 
We cannot refer this satisfactorily to any of De Candolle’s species; it may be perhaps his H. luzulcefolia, 
but the stem and leaves can neither be called villous nor hirsute. 
5. H. (Olocarpha) luzulcefolia. lie Cand. Prod. 5. p. 693. 
This we are not acquainted with. 
6. H. (Olocarpha) flipes ; caule sufFruticoso erecto simplici pilis mollibus birsuto, 
f’oliis integerrimis linearibus uninerviis pilis mollibus hirsutulis eglandulosis, inferioribus 
elongatis acuminatis in axillo fascicules foventibus, superioribus multo minoribus 
bracteiformibus nigro-glandulosis, corymbo laxo, ramis glabris filiforraibus rigidulis, 
capitulis solitariis longe pedicellatis paucifloris, involucre obconico birsuto ebracteato 
oligophyllo, receptaculis palearum serie exteriore gamophyllo, achenio oblongo basi 
attenuate. 
The corymb is lax, the primary branches bear a few glanduliferous bracteas or leaves, but the stalk that 
supports the capitulum is slender, quite naked, and rigid. In habit it is very dissimilar to the other species. 
7. H. (Olocarpha) macradenia. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 693. 
To this we presume a specimen we have from Mr Douglas belongs, but it differs considerably from the 
definition given by De Candolle. In that before us the stem seems to have been decidedly shrubby, branched 
only towards the extremity, the branches simple, or sometimes bearing again a couple of branches at the apex ; 
these, as well as the foliage, are slightly hairy ; leaves linear, lower ones about an inch and a half long, and 
decreasing upwards to scarcely half an inch ; about half a line broad, quite entire, often bearing fascicles of 
young leaves in their axils. Capitula sessile, solitary, terminal, or on very short leafy axillary opposite 
nearly terminal branchlets ; involucre bracteated ; bractese and uppermost leaves terminated by a sessile 
brow’n shining gland ; leaves of the involucre terminated by a large thick cylindrical gland, concave at the 
apex, the margin serrated, the serratures thick, cylindrical, and resembling callous glands. Achenium obovate, 
gibbous, without any beak ; receptacle covered with palese, which are curiously and irregularly united toge- 
ther, like honeycomb, at the base — De Candolle says of his plant, “ Priori {H. luzulcBfoliae) prima fronte 
simillima,” whereas ours bears no resemblance to any other of the genus. 
i. Oxyura chrysanthemoides. De Cand. Prod. 5. p. 693. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. fol. 1850 
(quoad descriptionem). 
De Candolle’s description agrees well with our wild specimens from Douglas, but not with the figure in the 
Bot. Register, which, however, appears to be the plant generally, if not solely, cultivated under this name. 
Lindley, indeed, says, that the pappus there represented to the florets of the disk, was introduced by an 
inadvertency of the draughtsman ; but seeds sent to the gardens of St Petersburgh and Breslau, produced 
plants with a pappus. The branches of the style of the florets of the disk present also a different appearance.
