342 areole at the base. Pappus-hairs thickened at the tips.—Kirk, Students' Fl. 311. Ozothamnus glomeratus, ''Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. i. 133; Handb. N.Z. Fl.'' 146. Swammerdammia glomerata, Raoul, Choix, 20, t. 16.

11. H. lanceolatum, T. Kirk, Students' Fl. 311.—Altogether similar to H. glomeratum, but leaves 1–1½ in. long, lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, acute or subacute, narrowed into a short winged petiole, glabrous above, beneath clothed with white appressed tomentum; margins flat or slightly undulate. Heads, florets, and achenes precisely as in H. glomeratum.—Ozothamnus lanceolatus, ''Buch. in Trans. N.Z. Inst.'' ii. (1870) 88.

12. H. depressum, Benth. and Hook. f. Gen. Plant. ii. 311.—A suberect or rarely prostrate much-branched bush 1-5 ft. high, hoary in all its parts with appressed greyish-white tomentum; branches spreading, rigid and wiry, often tortuous. Leaves minute, closely appressed to the branch, laxly imbricating, $1⁄12$–$1⁄10$ in. long, linear, obtuse, concave and loosely woolly on the inner face, silky or woolly on the back. Heads small, ⅙ in. diam., solitary, sessile at the tips of the branchlets; involucral bracts few, linear, scarious, acute or acuminate, rarely obtuse, glabrate or cottony at the base. Florets 8–12; females few, 2–3. Achene glabrous or puberulous. Pappus-hairs in several series, copious, slender.—Kirk, Students' Fl. 311. Ozothamnus depressus, ''Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. i. 134, t. 35b; Handb. N.Z. Fl.'' 146.

13. H. microphyllum, Benth. and Hook. f. Gen. Plant. ii. 311.—A small depressed much-branched shrub 6–15 in. high; branchlets slender, crowded, tomentose, with the leaves $1⁄12$–$1⁄8$ in. diam. Leaves minute, closely appressed to the branch, densely and almost quadrifariously imbricating, $1⁄16$–$1⁄12$ in. long, ovate or triangular, obtuse, thick and coriaceous, concave and densely woolly on the inner face, green and polished and obscurely keeled on the back. Heads terminal, solitary, sessile, turbinate, ⅕–¼ in. diam.; involucral bracts in about 3 series, linear-oblong, obtuse, scarious. Florets 20–25; female few, in 1 series. Achene pubescent. Pappus-hairs few, not thickened at the tip.—Kirk, Students' Fl. 312. Ozothamnus microphyllus, ''Hook. f. Fl. Nov. Zel. i. 134, t. 35; Handb. N.Z. Fl.'' 146.
