1-nerved, 1 to 2 lines long. Flowers small (varying in colour purple or

seems to have suspected dimorphism. An observation of numerous specimens seems to show
that the differences are those of semisexual dimorphism. In the long-pedicelled umbels the
are more expanded, the stamens longer, and the ovary enlarges but little, and ulti-
mately withers without forming good seed. I have only found ripe fruits in the dense
umbels, in which the pedicels rarely attain 1 line. In these the petals open less freely,
imes vim till they fall, and the stamens are shorter. I have found both kinds of

usually hirsute. Achenes more or less flattened, or rarely 3-angled, with
obtuse or acute rarely winged edges. Pappus none or more frequently con-
sisting of minute scales united in a little cup aud occasionally produced into

A considerable pavore qid bero few African and Asiatic species. Of the six Aus-
tralian ones, three ar widely spread over India and the Archipelago, one or ie an two of
them extending speed Africa, a rere is also found in Timor, the remaining two are endemic.
The biflora and some other species without any pappus have been separated under the
mme of Wollustonia, but in W. spilanthoides the pappus is often so small as to be quite
Neonspicuous when the achene is ripe, and in every tee respect the species are all too
Alosely allied to be generically separated. It is probable that the several genera alluded to

Besides the Australian species, which are endemic, there are six from S. Africa, the com-
monest of which, 4. capensis, is nearly allied to the Australian p australis. The genus is
readily known by its involucre, different from that of all other Helichrysea, although ap-
Moaching that of Lriolena. From the latter genus it differs chiefly in the female florets
