campanulate, its scales in several rows, free, the outer small, somewhat 
leafy, the inner longer, obtuse, scarious-membranous. Filaments smooth. 
Achenes mostly pubescent, ovate, dorsally 3—5-winged or ridged, the 
lateral wings or ridges inflexed, either entire or toothed, the medial 
straight, narrower. Copious silky hairs arise (in most species) from 
near the base of the achene. Pappus in 2 rows, paleaceous, the scales 
of the inner row mostly 8, spirally twisted before the opening of the 
flowers, sometimes very small. DC. Prodr.6, p. 484. —

petioled, variously incised or subentire. Heads peduncled, solitary. Name from 
apxros, a bear, and dus, wos, an ear; pappus scales look like ears. The species 
are very difficult to characterise, and perhaps too many are here retained.
