Too near, and the specimen too imperfect, to justify separation of this species. It must remain 
doubtful at present. The leaves of Col. Grant's plant are closely tomentose below, the only branch 
terminating in two capitula 14 in. diam., the tomentose involucral bracts terminating in a lanceolate acute 
appendix, the inner bracts equalling the reddish-tawny pappus. | |
