tibus supra araneosis subtus dense cinereo-tomentosis, capitulis parvis 
15-flosculosis homogamis in corymbos terminales subconfertos bracteatos

Hab. Melsetter at 6000 ft. ; in fl. Sept. ; n. 1858. 
Planta verisimiliter circa spithamea. Foliorum limbus 10-17 mm. long., 
5-11 mm. lat. ; hujus costæ sub tela omnino obseonditie : petioli usque ad 
10 mm. long., plerumque vero breviores, satis lati, dense araneosi. Corymbi 
9:5-3 x 4-45 em. ; horum bractez ultima: 3-5 mm. long., inferiores in folia 
transeuntes, Pedunculi proprii vulgo 2-3 mm. long. Involuera 5 x 4 mm. : 
phylla extima 2:5 mm., interiora cirea 3:5 mm., intima 4 mm. long. 
Receptaculi paleze ovate vel oblongze, obtuse, stramineæ, 0:5-0*75 mm. long. 
Corolle 3 mm. long., inferne 0"2 mm., superne 0*5 mm. lat. ; lobi 5, parvuli, 
triangulares, acuti. Achenia 1:25 mm. long. ; pappi setæ 3-4 mm. 
On a first view this looks somewhat like М. crispum, Less., but its stalked 
leaves bring it still nearer to //. petiolatum, DC. From the latter it differs, 
inter alia, in the apparently lowlier habit, narrower leaves, smaller heads with 
stra w-coloured (not milk-white) involucres, and the fewer florets, with their 
corollas markedly enlarged in the upper half.
