Iva. Asclepias Kessneri, V. ZL. Br. in Journ. Bot. 1903, 362. 
Stems erect, branching, white-woolly on the young parts, becoming 
glabrous below. Leaves ascending-spreading ; petiole $—} in. long, 
woolly when young; blade 34-64 in. long, 4-3 in. broad, linear-lanceo- 
late, tapering to a very acute point, more or less acute at the base, with 
flat or narrowly revolute margins, glabrous on both sides or with a very 
minute scattered pubescence above and thinly woolly on the midrib 
beneath. Umbels several, racemose, 4—6-flowered, ascending. Peduncles 
and pedicels equal, 3-14 in, long, woolly. Sepals 24-34 lin. long, 1 lin. 
broad at the base, thence tapering to a very acute point, woolly ’ 
reflexed. Corolla lobed almost to the base, reflexed, apparently whitish 
or yellowish ; lobes 43-5 lin. long, 24-23 lin. broad, ovate, obtusely 
pointed, shortly ciliate on one margin, otherwise quite glabrous. 
Coronal-lobes arising 3-3 lin, up the staminal-column and reaching to 
the same level, 13-2 lin. long and about as broad, cuneately suborbi- 
cular in side view, much compressed, divided for only 4 of the distance 
from the inner to the dorsal margin, with a falcate denticulate tooth 
from the side, apical angles recurving within a groove along the top of 
the lobe about 4 lin. deep, which has a keel or crest along the bottom 
of it; each side of the lobe (in the dried state) has a ridge correspond- 
ing to the depth to which it is divided, and is narrowly winged at the 
base and inner margins. Staminal-column 21-24 lin. long; anther- 
appendages transverse, $ lin. long, 3 lin. broad, very obtusely rounded.
