A genus belonging to an order of the syngenesious 
lass, where the florets of the circumference of the flower 
are provided with fertile pistils, but have no stamens; 
while those of the centre have both stamens and pistils, the 
latter of which however are sterile, and act merely as auxi- 
liaries to the stamens in dispensing the pollen to the other- 
wise unprovided stigmas of the rays
