ARCTOTIS acaulis Jacq. [family COMPOSITAE], Sch. t. 158, fide DC.
Information
nearly stemless, stem very short, decumbent, dividing at the crown; leaves petioled, lyrate, toothed, on both sides woolly, the lobes short and blunt; pedunc. elongate, tomentose and hairy; outer inv. scales short, ovate, pointless, appressed. Leaves 2–3 in. long, wholly canescent and somewhat rusty, lyrate, with few lateral lobes. Inv. scales pale, wholly pointless! I omit the ‘Uitenhage’ hab. of E. & Z., quoted by DC., because all the specimens from those collectors which I have seen (in Hb. Sd., D.) belong to Haplocarpha lyrata.
Distribution
