"Petals open in usual way the flower presence was in the middle of" "slightly hairy on veins (20x) cap the 3 principal veins is down the middle of the back & on the 2 folds. Or perhaps ray should be called tubular veft almost to base. Has neither cutaneous or pishl. Disk fls. 6mm long (above calices) & which 1/2 mm, thick 5 triangular lobes, range . Calice at antheris 1/2 mm long seems glabrous (20x) with 2 oblique, weak, downwardly forked bristles 4 mm long. Anthers 3 1/2 mm long, sessitate at base At tips scale like pendons 1mm long, printed at tip paper and thick tubercle-like thickening at center of base Anthers brown-orange outside, apper- appear orange. Filaments slightly hairy. Pollen yellow, grains seem adierist, and (84%) are of papillare. xx Perhaps this is in early stage only later styles protrude as to tube 2x meets it. Style tips reach to tip of anther appendage, divided 1/3 of length, the tip being slightly produced with an awl shaped projection 8 mm. Receptacle chaffy with a scale embac- ing each disk fl. Calices (pres not entirely ripe) 19mm over all the upper 9mm being a very glabrous beaks. Calice (v.beak) bearing very minute upward pointing bristles. Calice blackish green with 4 slightly dispersed nerves Bristles both fall from these mature calices, perhaps pulled from carrying home. x Malais actine rather bluntly (roundly) # angled. Involute bracts might perhaps be considered connate at very base. See B. M. J. C. C. p 752. This seems not Bidens because calices are beaked. & not Coreopais because calices
