From the study of allfactors, including geographical distribution, it seems probablethat the Inuleae gave rise to the Gynareae in the easternpart of the Mediterranean region, through the Buphthal-meae, so that it is not surprising that, in the absence of aninvestigation of the filiform florets, this plant should havebeen classed in the Gynareae. The absence of the ring ofhairs on the style and the character of the anther ap-pendages, however, would, even then, place it nearer the 1 Small, J., Ihe Polleii-jiresentation in Ihe of Botany, vol. xxix, No. cxv(1915), p. 457.
