Don's Syst. Bot. v. 1, 415. CINERA'RIA MACROPHYL'LA. LARGE-LEAVED CINERARIA. Clan. Order. SYNGENESIA. SUIT.HFLUA. Natural Order. COMPOSITE. Native of Altay Mnts. Height. 8 feet. Flowers in July, Aug.

Rhodochiton, from the Greek Rhodos, red; ChiTon, a garment; in allusion to its calyx. This novel plant is, by Mr. D.
