This differs from C. Thomsoni in the cauline leaves with shorter petioles and 
minute teeth, the smaller heads more campanulate; involucre with linear bracts, and 
very slender ligules.  Sígyle-arms linear, 3-cylindrie, rather long, subacute.

An elegant species, with very large heads for the size of the plant, and broad pale 
pink rays that do not stand horizontally, but are erecto-patent, giving the head, which 
is sharply deflexed with a narrow base to the involucre, a triangular profile. Style 
hispid far below the arms, which are linear, }-cylindric, with rounded tips. The 
achenes are too young to ascertain their form and size.
