Names
ATHANASIA indivisa Harv. [family COMPOSITAE]
Hymenolepis indivisa Drege [family ], !
Information
glabrous, leaves linear-filiform, nearly terete, undivided, quite entire, sub-acute; corymb compound, many-headed; heads 3–4-fl.; inv.-scales glabrous, oblong, concave, obtuse; pappus of several, unequal, narrow, minute, flat scales. This has the habit, and nearly the foliage and inflorescence of A. fasiculata, for which it may readily be mistaken; but has a pappus precisely like that of A. parviflora. It is either omitted by De Candolle or combined with his Hymenolepis incisa, which (by the char. given) seems to be different, and comes at least from a very different locality. Leaves 1–1 1/2 inch long, not 1 line diam., crowded. Heads as in A. parviflora.
Distribution
SOUTH AFRICA On the Zuureberg, betw. Enon and Driefontein, Drege! (Hb. D., Hk., Sd.)
