base ; branches elongate, simple, angular, rigidly pubescent ; leaves 
sessile, linear-lanceolate, acute, quite entire, callous pointed, dotted,

Stems 1 foot or more high, subsimple or branched from below ; branches rather 
closely leafy below, sparsely leafy or subnude above. Leaves 1-14 inches long, 1-2 
lines wide. Pappus nearly like that of a Pteronia. Anthers with very long tails, 
bearded at the extremity. 
4. P. polygalefolia 5 ioe Syn. 200); shrubby, much-branched, 
minutely viscoso-scaberulous, otherwise glabrous ; branches tortuous 
or divaricate ; leaves tapering at base into a short petiole, oval or 
obovate, subacute, fleshy, entire ; invol. scales biseriate, lanceolate, 
acuminate ; pappus biseriate, the outer of many, narrow-subulate, 
acuminate, serrated scales. DC.l.c. Eupatorium retrofractum, Thunb. !

Woody, intricately ramulous, about 1 foot high. Leaves 5-8 lines long, 2-3 lines 
wide, gland-dotted. Heads few-flowered, subsessile. 
5. P. baccharidifolia (Less. Syn. 200); shrubby, minutely scaberu- 
lous or glabrous; branches curved; leaves shortly petioled, oval or 
oblong, subacute, fleshy, coarsely few-toothed, viscidulous ; invol. scales 
3-seriate, oblong-lanceolate, acute, pubescent ; pappus pluriseriate, all 
of barbellate bristles, the inner long, the outer gradually shorter. Car-

Very like the preceding except in the rather larger and toothed leaves ; the broader 
and less acuminate invol. scales and pappus. It is perhaps less strongly woody and 
more diffusely branched. Leaves 4-10 lines long, 2-4 lines wide. 
6. P.? tenella (DC. 1. c. 482); “herbaceous, erect, slender, sparingly 
hispid ; lvs. elliptic-oblong, tapering to both ends, very entire; branches 
ending in long, leafless, pubescent, one-headed peduncles ; invol. scales 
biseriate, acuminate ; pappus biseriate, the outer very short.” DC.

‘“‘ Flowers unknown ; the genus therefore doubtful. Recept. naked, punctate. 
Achenes terete, substriate. Pappus-bristles thick, white.” DC.

Heads many-fl.; the ray-/i. in one row, ligulate, neuter; disc-fl. deeply
