pilis brevibus basi subbulbosis adspersa, in margine pariter ac in nervo 
dorsali pilis rigidiusculis basi subbulbosis sat dense ciliata et glandulis 
nonnullis minutissimis praedita, apicem caulem versus sensim decres- 
centia, omnia effloccosa. Inflorescentia c. !/; totius caulis exhibens pani-

conferti, inferiores subremoti apicem versus dupliciter ramosi pleiocephali, 
acladium ad 25—30 mm longum, capitula subnumerosa v. numerosissima, 
Involucrum 9—10 mm longum cylindrico-ovatum denique basi + trun- 
catum; squamae sublatiusculae nigro-virides in margine dilutiores, interiores

dum longius glandulosi, subcani, epilosi v. pilis dispersis muniti, apice 
paulum inerassati. Bracteae 2— 3 minutae. Flores saturate lutei, ligulae 
apice sat breviter dentatae subciliatae, stylus fuscescens, achaenia 
brunnea. 
Prov. Kuban: In valle fl. Teberda 1260 m. — Tuschetia: inter 
Diklo et Dartlo versus ostium fl. Zizihwuli, in silv. mont. 285—300 m

Variat: «) genuinum, involucris basin versus tantum subfloccosis. 
1. normale, foliis tantum denticulatis. 
a) epilosum, involucris pedunculisque epilosis (foliis latiori- 
bus v. angustioribus). 
b) pilosiusculum, involucris pedunculisque pilis parum nu- 
merosis obsitis. Folia saepe ovato-lanceolata. H. per- 
foliato valde simile. 
2. subdentatum. Folia saepe latiora, interdum ovato-lanceolata, 
distincte dentata v. brevius longiusve serrato-dentata, denti- 
bus subtriangularibus. 
a) latifolium, folia minus numerosa, media summaque ovato- 
lanceolata inaequaliter serrato-dentata. Involucra pedun- 
eulique sparsim pilosa. H. perfoliato simile. 
b) lanceolatum, foliis numerosis lanceolatis. Reliqua prioris: 
3) floccisquamum. Involucrum ubique floccosum, unacum pedun- 
culis sparsim pilosum, Caulis superne subfloccosus saepe sub- 
densius pilosus.
