capitulis pro rata mediocribus radiatis in corymbum foliatum plurieephalum sat 
elongatum araneosum dispositis : pedunculis propriis quam capitula sepius 
brevioribus bracteis parvis interdum onustis, involucri hemispheerici araneosi 
phyllis pluriseriatis lineari-lanceolatis breviter spinoso-aeuminatis apice 
sphacelatis necnon заре recurvis intimis manifeste longioribus, ligulis 
pluribus ex involucro bene eminentibus, antherarum caudis maxime attenuatis, 
styli ramis complanatis apice truncatis, achzeniis evlindrieis 5-costatis basi 
villosulis alibi microscopice puberulis, pappi setis sordide albis scabridis.

Folia + 3:0 em. long., 0*6-0:8 (raro 1:0) em. lat., pagina superiore pallidis- 
sime nitescentia et eleganter reticulata, inf. (costa centrali perspicua exempta) 
fere enervosa. Corymbus summum 10 em. long., et 6 em. diam. ; hujus 
bracteæ lineares vel lineari-lanceolate, + 0*8 ст. long. Capitula 1:0 em. 
diam. Involuera 0*6 em. long., et latitudine propemoduin sequalia; phylla 
extima vix 0'3 cm., intermedia 0*4 cm., intima 0*5 em. long. Гоше oblonge, 
apice 2-denticulate, 0*5 ст. long., puniceæ. Disci corollæ sursum leviter ac 
gradatim dilatata, 05 em. long. Acheenia valde cruda 0*1 cm., pappi sete 
0:45 ст. long. 
А very distinct species, with А. phylicoides, DC., for its nearest ally. 
From this it can be readily distinguished by the longer oblong, often toothed 
leaves and the hemispherical heads. According to Mr. Swynnerton, it is 
a common herb in the grass.
