“stem herbaceous, erect, branching, terete, striate, puberulous, viscidulous above; root-leaves petioled, oblong, toothed, minutely puberulous; cauline sessile, ear-clasping, oblong, incised, downy, the uppermost linear, viscidulous; corymb panicled, the pedicels sparsely scaly; inv. of about 12 puberulous scales; rays 8–10; achenes linear-compressed, striate, pubescent between the striæ.” DC. l. c. “Lower leaves 3 inches long, 4 lines wide. Stem 1–1 1/2 foot high.” Of this I have seen no specimen, unless Zey.! 938, from Vet River (Hb. Sd.), belong to it: in it the radical and lower leaves are obovate-oblong, tapering into an imperfect petiole, coarsely toothed, midribbed, with a thickened, subciliate margin, glabrous, except for a few scattered bristles on the lower side; stem leaves few, clasping, toothed, puberulous; infl. laxly few-headed; inv. nearly nude at base, of 12–15 narrow, scabrous scales; rays few, pale-yellow, shorter than the inv.; achenes tapering upwards, striate, pubescent.
