Ursinia pulchra, N. E Br. (Sphenogyne speciosa, Knowles & Westc.). Fig. 3887. Annual, 1-2 ft high with lvs. bipinnately dissected into linear lobes and yellow or orange fl.-heads 2 in. across: rays about 22, 3-toothed, spotted purple-brown at base: st. glabrous, branched: lvs. alternate: scapes nearly leafless, about 5 times as long as lvs.: involucre 4-rowed; scales increasing in size from the base, outer rows with a brown scarious border, inner with a white scarious border. F.C. 2:77. P.M. 6:77. G.C. III. 4:356. Gn. 44, p.217. R.H. 1843:445. G. 16:352. J.H. III. 54:85. -Both yellow and orange-colored fls. are sometimes found on the same plant. When well managed it blooms all summer. It is a native of the Cape region of S. Afr. It has been in cult. since 1836 but was not correctly described until 1887. It is much praised by connoisseurs, though it is not known to the general public. It seems to have enjoyed a longer continuous period of cult. than many other showy composites, in which the Cape is wonderfully rich. CH
