Information
heads with few (5–6) perfect, and many (30–50) female, marginal flowers in several rows. Stems 1–3 inches long, many from the crown, diffuse or prostrate, closely much branched, very woolly. Leaves spathulate, 3–5 lines long, 1–2 lines wide, very woolly. Tufts of heads ending all the branches. Inv. scales obtuse, testaceous. This little plant, besides being found in North Africa, occurs in several parts of Central Asia and in S. Europe. It is much more closely branched, more procumbent and woolly than L. micropoides, with which, in Drege's distribution, it is confounded. It is easily known by the few perfect and many female fl. in each head.
