with the terminal lobe ovate obovate or rounded and 
crenate-toothed, the lateral lobes few short obtuse and 
lobulate. Peduncle terminal, stout, solitary, erect, naked, 
tomentose, shorter or longer than the leaves, rarely exceeding 
_ three inches long. Heads depressed-hemispherical, one and 
a half inches in diameter ; involucral-bracts rarely as long 
as the flowers, lanceolate or elliptic-ovate, subacute. Flowers 
very many, one-third of an inch long, those of the ray 
horizontal, limb oblique two-lipped, those of the disk erect, 
regular, with a slender tube and campanulate five-fid limb ; 
involucel cylindric, truncate, with plumose long or short 
awns. Calycine awns 15-16, much longer than the invo- 
lucel, plumose. Corolla of the ray nearly half an inch long, 
tube pubescent, upper lip two-lobed, lobes short rounded 
lobulate ; lower lip three-lobed, lobes ovate obtuse ; corolla 
of the disk-flowers shorter, tube equalling the campanulate 
four-lobed limb. Stamens with filaments twice as long as 
the corolla-lobes.—J. D. H.
