347. E, recurvata (Andr. Heathery, t. 282); erect, in cultivation 
from 1-2 ft. high; branchlets densely leafy, puberulous; leaves 
seattered, spreading or subsquarrose, linear, subobtuse, obscurely 
denticulate, keeled, glabrous or minutely puberulous, 4—6 lin. long ; 
flowers capitate; heads many-flowered, cernuous, 6—9 lin. in diam. ; 
pedicels Jess than 1 lin, long ; bracts approximate, linear or linear- 
lanceolate, acute, keeled, gland-ciliolate, yellowish, about equalling 
the sepals, or one sometimes longer, 4-5 lin. long; sepals like the 
bracts, a little shorter or longer than the corolla; corolla tubular, 
inflated below, not (or very little) constrieted at the throat, deeply 
4-fid, thinly puberulous, yellowish, 4—5 lin. long ; segments erect or 
slightly spreading, variable in length from + the tube to 12 times 
its length, oblong, acute, apiculate, dark brownish-purple ; filaments 
long, narrow ; anthers included, but in our specimens, reaching 
to nearly 2 the height of the corolla, oblong or lanceolate, acute, 
apiculate ; pore nearly as long as the cell; cells about 4 lin. long, 
muticous ; style long exserted; stigma subsimple; ovary glabrous.
