Information

Rootstock an elongated fleshy tuber 1 1/4 in. (or more?) thick, producing 1 or more annual erect stems 3–4 in. high and 1/8– 1/4 in. thick at the base, with an umbel of 3–4 rays at the apex, glabrous. Leaves sessile, alternate, whorled at the base of the umbel, 1 3/4–3 in. long, 1/3– 2/3 in. broad, narrowly lanceolate to cuneate-oblanceolate, acute, entire, glabrous on both sides. Rays of the umbel 1–2 in. long, simple or once forked, glabrous. Bracts 3/4–1 1/4 in. long, 2/3–1 2/3 in. broad, sessile, deltoid-ovate, truncate or rounded at the base, tapering to an acute apex, glabrous. Involucres solitary, sessile or on peduncles 1–1 3/4 lin. long, 1/4– 1/3 in. in diam. and 1/6 in. deep, broadly cup-shaped, glabrous, with 5 glands and 5 transversely subrectangular emarginate or subentire lobes 3/4–1 lin. long and 1–1 3/4 lin. broad; glands distant, 3/4–1 1/4 lin. in their greater diam., transversely elliptic, with the base excavated or very obliquely and shallowly funnel-shaped, entire. Ovary glabrous, wholly or partly included; styles united below, with the free part about 1 lin. long, slender, slightly thickened at the apex. Fruit and seeds not seen.
