nearly stemless; subradical lvs. white woolly beneath, glabrous above, with reflexed edges, petioled, linear-lanceolate, entire or some sparingly pinnatifid, the lobes decurrent; pedunc. shorter than leaves, subglabrous; inv. obconic, intruse and truncate at base, glabrous, segments 2-seriate, the outer leafy, narrow-linear, acuminate, ciliate, inner semilanceolate, much acuminate, nerved, glabrous, membr. edged. Leaves 2 1/2–3 1/2 in. long, 2–4 l. wide, occasionally pinnatifid, the lobes 2–3 pair. Pedunc. 2 in. long. Invol. 6–7 l. long. β. varies with hispidulous and glabrous leaves; in other respects it agrees pretty well with α. Zeyher's 3014, from the Zwartkop R., is also probably the same; it varies with rough or smooth leaves.
