This has the leaves, and perhaps also the habit, of S. crenatus, 
Thunb. I say perhaps, because our specimens are a new 
growth from burnt-off stumps, and the normal habit may be diffe- 
rent. But the inflorescence, the heads (which are about the size 
and shape of those of S. asperulus, DC.), and the flowers, differ 
very much from those of the first-named species. The flowers of 
ray and disk are a bright orange-yellow. It was growing copi- 
ously where found.
