SENECIO rigidus E. Mey. var. glabrescens [family COMPOSITAE], ! in Hb. Drege. DC. l. c. 393.
Information
quite glabrous and smooth; stem suffruticose, terete, finely striate, leafy; leaves stem-clasping, broad-based, oblong or obovate, obtuse, membranous, sharply and unequally serrate, netted-veined; corymb patently much-branched, many-headed, pedicels scaly, divaricate; heads radiate, 20–30-fl.; inv. calycled, glabrous, of many narrow scales; rays 6–8, yellow; achenes striate, hispidulous. Very similar to S. rigidus in the form of the leaves and habit; but perfectly glabrous and smooth in all parts, with thinner and softer leaves, and a more spreading panicle. If not a “species,” it seems to be a well-marked and widely spread “form.” Our specimens exactly agree with one in Hb. Thunb.!
