“ Some genera with conglomerated capitula also occur, such as Cylindrosorus and Myriocephalus of Bentham, but they are of no beauty. Several Asteroideæ are found here, many of which belong to the inconspicuous genera Brachycome and Lagenophora; an Eurybia has also been described, and there is a genus nearly allied to Francœuria, the Asteridea pulverulenta,98 a plant of some beauty, with the appearance of an Aster Novæ Angliæ; it is not a little remarkable that with these there also occurs a plant of the genuine genus Aster,99 and of the Alpigenous section, with altogether its habit. ”

“ Rhodanthe, now so common, and several unpublished plants, of new genera, the more remarkable of which are the following; viz. Lawrencella rosea,94 a most beautiful annual, resembling Rhodanthe, but handsomer, and differing in the achænia being covered with long clavate glands, and in the pappus not being plumose; from the greater part of the allies of Rhodanthe it is distinguished by the pappus being in many rows; Xyridanthe,95 another genus near Rhodanthe, from which it differs in the pappus being paleaceous and plumose, not setose: the species are annuals of no beauty ”

“ Tota lanugine densa alba vestita. Caulis pyramidatus, ramis rigidis ascendentibus 1-3-cephalis. Folia lineari-oblonga, sessila, alterna, internodiis paulò longiora. Capitula in fastigio ramulorum, inter folia sessilia. ”
