The structure of the flower at once distinguishes this genus from all the other members of Valerianea, to which family it undoubtedly 
belongs. Neither the root nor the herb has any peculiar smell in the fresh or dried state. The whole plant is covered with a clammy 
pubescence. "The leaves vary so much that I was at first inclined to consider them as belonging to two different species, being some- 
times nearly entire, at others deeply pinnatifid or almost pinnate, or pinnatifid only at their base; but I have since ascertained that they 
furnish not even marks by which to distinguish varieties of our plant.
