herba pusilla, radice fusiformi, caule saepius e basi ramoso, 
ramisque gracilibus, flexuosis, dense cano-lanuginosis ; foliis 
pinnatifidis, laciniis patentibus raebique anguste linearibus, 
glaberrimis, crassis, calloso-mucronatis, radicalibus longe pe- 
tiolatis, caulinis tertia parte brevioribus ; pedunculis opposi- 
tifoliis, lanuginosis ; involucre campanulato, profunde 5-8- 
fido, laciniis insequalibus, linearibus, mucronatis, glabris, flores 
superantibus. — In Andibus Cbilensibus, in scaturiginosis, v. s.

Species babitu generis Acicarphee valde similis, sed differ! 
aebaeniis omnibus liberis et dissimilibus, involucre libero, profunde 
laciniato, imo gamopbyllo; a Boopide etiam differ! aebseniis 
dissimilibus, aliisque longe spinosis. Planta 3-5 poll, alta ; 
caulis dense lanatus, paulo supra basin ramos plurimos emittens, 
ramis erectiusculis, prsesertim summo dense lanatis ; folia radi- 
calia 1 poll. long, incluso petiole limbo sequilongo, 3-4 lin. lat. ; 
pedunculi oppositifolii, lanati, in flore 3 lin., in fructu 6-9 lin. 
long., monocepbali ; capitula in flore hemisphserica, 3 lin. diam., 
in fructu globosa, 4-5 lin. diam. ; involucrum glabrum, immu- 
tatum, demum reflexum ; receptaculum semiglobosum, foveatum, 
I lin. diam., paleis persistentibus spathulato-setaceis sparsis 
onustum. Corolla tube gracili viridi, limbo expanse albo 5- 
partito sequilongo; segmenta linearia, acuta. Aebsenia omnia 
usque ad basin libera, creberrima, fusca, inermia et spinigera. 
intermixta, obconica, profunde 5-angulata, in sulcis transversim 
rugosa, 1^ lin. long., lobis calycinis stellatim radiatis, naviculi- 
formibus, acutis ; alia majora, 2 lin. long., brunnea, straminea, 
angulis acute carinatis, et in spinis e lobis calycinis valde auctis 
terminatis, spinis superne profunde sulcatis, subulato-compressis, 
subtus carinatis, lin. long.* 
6. Anomocarpus tenuis, n. sp. ; — caulibus simplicibus, gracillime 
elongatis, flexuosis, primum decumbentibus, mox erectis, 
stramineis, sub lente parce puberulis, demum glabris, foliis 
pinnato-sectis, laciniis linearibus, membranaceis, utrinque 2, 
in petiolum angustissimum attenuatis, glaberrimis; pedun- 
culis remotis, oppositifoliis, valde elongatis, monocephalis ; 
capitulis semiglobosis, involucre fere ad basin 5-laciniato, 
laciniis anguste linearibus, membranaceis, glabris; paleis
