slightly branched. Leaves opposite, the lower ones rarely 
alternate, elliptical, acute, the upper ones almost acumi- 
nate, sessile, serrated, somewhat three-nerved at the base. 
Peduncles terminal, in threes. Involucre of rather few sub- 
squarrose scales, of which the outer are elliptical-lanceolate, 
the inner smaller and narrower, gradually passing into the 
palee of the receptacle : these latter are lanceolate, acumi- 
nate, carinato-conduplicate. Flowers orange-yellow. Ache- 
nium of the ray triangular, with three short, rigid teeth : 
that of the disk triangular, compresso-carinate, with three 
long, equal, subpaleaceous teeth.
