This appears to be intermediate in its characters between (. coriacea and C. Arm- 
strongii, differing from the first in the narrow stiff erect leaves, which have conspicuous 
yellowish midribs, and much recurved leaf-margins. The flower-heads, although not 
so large as those of C. coriacea, are frequently 2in. diam. It will probably prove to be a 
hybrid between C. coriacea and C. Armstrongit. J, +/'

Leaves 6-22in. long, 4-Il4in. broad; narrow linear-oblong or linear- 
lanceolate, gradually attenuated upwards into an acute point, strict and 
erect, coriaceous or subcoriaceous, longitudinally grooved and _plaited 
above and covered with a delicate pellicle of silvery hairs, beneath clothed 
with appressed white tomentum, often wrinkled with parallel lines when 
dry; margins recurved; petiole and sheaths short or long, sometimes 
more than 34 the length of the entire leaf, densely clothed with snow- 
white tomentum. Scapes 1 or several; 8-16in. long, stout, usually 
densely woolly and cottony; bracts very numerous, linear. Head large, 
1-2in. diam.; involucral bracts numerous, linear-subulate, usually more 
or less woolly and cottony. Rays numerous, }-2in. long; tube of corolla 
glabrous. Achenes glabrous or hispidulous.—Bot. Mag. t. 7496; 7. Kirk

There has been much uncertainty as to the limits of this species, and several 
collectors have confused it with small forms of C. coriacea. In the first edition of this 
work I confined it to the plants included in Hookev’s original description; but there 
is some force in Cockayne’s suggestion to further limit the species to the Awatere plant, 
or practically to that originally discovered by Monro. After full consideration I have 
decided to adopt that view. This will exclude the Mount Cook plant, which Petrie has 
lately described as a distinct species under the name of (. Boweana (Trans. N.Z. Inst. 
xliv (1912) 182), but which is now regarded by Cockayne as probably of hybrid origin.

6-18 in. long including the sheaths, 4-lin. broad, narrow linear-oblong or 
linear-lanceolate, acute or obtuse, narrowed into an evident petiole at the 
‘top of the sheath, membranous, glabrous above, beneath clothed with 
soft white tomentum except the evident midrib; margins minutely 
denticulate, flat or slightly recurved; sheaths thin and membranous, 
erooved, sparingly cottony or almost glabrous. Scapes equalling or 
exceeding the leaves, slender, sometimes flexuose, thinly clothed with 
cottony tomentum ; bracts short, linear. Head 1-15 in. diam.; involucral 
bracts subulate-lanceolate, acute, glabrous or cottony. Rays few, spread-
