nearly simple, clothed with appressed hairs. Radical-leaves 
upon long stalks, cordate, lobed and coarsely serrated, much 
nerved aud somewhat wrinkled, glabrous above, downy 
and paler beneath. The involucre, both in our wild and 
cultivated specimens, seems to consist of two leaves scarcely 
differing from those of the root, except in being smaller ; 
within these are two still smaller ones, from within which 
arise the peduncles, three to four in number, each bearing a 
single flower, drooping in the state of the bud, afterwards 
erect. Sepals five, obovate, concave, white. Stamens 
numerous, yellow. Head of Pistils roundish-ovate.
