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-

Pollen yellow, grains seem adierist,
and (84%) are of papillare.

styles protrude as to tube 2x meets it.
Style tips reach to tip of anther

Receptacle chaffy with a scale embac-

Involute bracts might perhaps
