“stem erect, simple, cobwebby, the younger leaves cobwebby, at length on both sides rough with scattered, thick, glandular bristles,” the lower leaves oval-oblong, penninerved, acute, tapering at base into a longish petiole, “the upper linear-elongate, much-acuminate; corymb compound, fastigiate; heads 8–12-fl.; inv. oblong, its scales lanceolate, acuminate, the outer dorsally woolly, the rest bright-yellow, shining.” DC. l. c. One of the lower leaves and a few unopened fl. heads only seen by me. The leaf has a petiole about 3 inches long, and an ovato-lanceolate lamina 4 1/2 inches long, 2 1/2 inches wide, thinly cobwebby and rough with raised, glandular points. Fl. heads about 2 lines long, 1 line wide. The habit seems to be that of § 13, Plantaginea; but DC. says the recept. is “scarcely honey-combed.”
