“In the character of the indumentum and the form of the flower-heads and their 
bracts this species seems nearest to J. chrysochatia, but is easily distinguished by 
its finer, softer, greyer hairs, which are denser on the under side of the leaf, and 
also by the smaller corolla.”— Hallier f., lc.

with a somewhat hoary adpressed pubescence, and with dense white
