Young plants suffruticose, with long, slender fl. branches ; old ones rigidly shrubby, 
twiggy, much and closely branched, the old branches naked, and rough with the 
bases of old leaves, the younger short, leafy. Leaves variable in shape and size, 
always much narrowed at base, and generally sharply toothed, from } inch to 14 
inch long, the young ones minutely glanduloso-puberulous. Stems and leaves exude 
viscid, strong-scented substance. Pedune, 2-3 inches long; in young plants 4-5 
inches. Rays yellow, uncial, I have not seen any ripe achenes of the ray. 
13. D. chrysanthemifolia (DC. 1. c. 73); shrubby, minutely scaberu- 
lous, subglabrous; branches virgate ; leaves obovate-oblong, sharply 
incised or unequally toothed, the lobes often again toothed; pedunc. 
naked, one-headed; inv. scales lanceolate, acuminate, scaberulous or 
pilose, margined with soft hairs; achenes of ray trigonous, smooth;
