2(-3)-seriati reflexi 1.2-1.5 cm. longi phyllaria extima herbacea in- 
aequalia lanceolata acuta mucronulata ciliata et utroque hispido- 
pilosa 2.5-4 mm. lata; interiora 1(-2)-seriata anguste lanceolata 
acuminata basi paullum indurata et pallida ceterum herbacea ciliata 
et extus breviter hispido-pilosa intus glabra vel subglabrå extimis 
duplo breviora. Radii 12-14 lineari-cuneati valde bidentati supra 
aurantiaco-flavi (colore basi vix saturatiore) subtus dorso appresso- 
pilosuli (1.6-)2.2-2.5 cm. longi (4-)5-6 mm. lati; corollae disci fusco- 
purpureae glabrae 4 mm. longae (tubo indistincto 0.7 mm., dentibus 
lanceolato-triangularibus 0.8 mm.). Paleae acutae ad apicem sub- 
scariosae et erosulae glabrae vel in carina sparsissime pilosae 5 mm. 
longae. Achaenia nigra glabra quadrangularia 2.5 mm. longa (pappo 
coroniforme brevissimo paullum eroso in angulis achaenii non producto 
incluso). Antherae basi valde sagittatae. Styli rami apice subtrun- 
cati hispidi. 
Stem simple, slender, erect, about 6 dm. high, densely retrorse- 
hirsute, appressed-hairy above, with short leafy off-shoots. Leaves 
of the stolons ovate or oval-ovate, acute, at base rather abruptly 
contracted, then cuneately narrowed into the petiole, thin, tripli- 
or quintuplinerved, crenate-serrate (teeth about 6 pairs, depressed, 
mucronulate), hirsute-pilose both sides with ascending or subappressed 
hairs, slightly paler beneath, 7-10 cm. long, 3.5-5.2 em. wide; stem- 
leaves 10-11 (with 1-2 additional lanceolate entire bracts 2—4 cm. 
long above), the 2-3 lowest similar to those of the stolons, the 
others ovate, acuminate, cuneate to base, subamplexicaul, 7.5-15.5 em. 
long, 2.8-5 em. wide. Heads 1-2(-4), terminating the stem and an 
axillary branch, 4.5-6 cm. wide; peduncles sulcate, hispid-pilose with 
ascending or subappressed hairs, 9.5-13.5 cm. long; disk broadly 
conic, obtuse, 1.1 cm. high, 1.3 cm. thick. Involucre 2(-3)-seriate, 
reflexed, 1.2-1.5 em. high, the outermost phyllaries unequal, her- 
baceous, lanceolate, mucronulate, acute, ciliate, hispid-pilose both 
sides, 2.5-4 mm. wide; the inner 1(—2)-seriate, narrowly lanceolate, 
acuminate, at base slightly indurated and pale, otherwise herbaceous, 
ciliate, on the outer face shortly hispid-pilose, on the inner glabrous 
or subglabrous, half as long as the outer phyllaries. Rays 12-14, 
linear-cuneate, strongly bidentate, orange-yellow scarcely deeper at 
base, on back appressed-pilosulous, 2.5 cm. long, 5-6 mm. wide; 
corollas of disk deep purple, glabrous, 4 mm. long (the indistinct tube 
0.7 mm., the lance-triangular teeth 0.8 mm. long). Pales acute, at 
apex subscarious and finely erose, more or less colorate, glabrous or 
with a few hairs along the keel, 5 mm. long. Achenes black, glabrous, 
quadrangular, 2.5 mm. long (including the very short coroniform 
slightly erose pappus, which is not produced over the angles). Anthers 
strongly sagittate. Style-branches subtruncate, hispid at apex.
