Leaf-blades linear or lance-linear, acute or 
attenuate at the base. 10. A. decipiens. 
Leaf-blades mostly elongate-deltoid or deltoid, 
sometimes rather broadly lanceolate, obtuse 
to cordate at the base. 22. A. comata. 
Lobes of the involucre broadly ovate or ovate- 
orbicular, usually shorter than the tube, 
acute or acutish at the apex, at least in fruit, 
pilose with white or fulvous hairs. 
Leaf-blades acute or acutish at the base, lance- 
olate or broadly lanceolate. 15. A. aggregata. 
Leaf-blades rounded to cordate at the base, 
ovate-cordate to lance-deltoid. 
Leaf-blades deeply cordate at the base, 
often shorter than the petioles, these 
puberulent or short-pilose with fulvous 
hairs; fruit 5 mm. long. 23. A. longipes. 
Leaf-blades rounded to subcordate at the 
base, much longer than the petioles, these 
long-pilose with white hairs; fruit 3.5-4 
: mum. long. 24, A. ciliata. 
Fruit terete at maturity, irregularly and sparsely tuberculate; 
stems slender, usually procumbent, much branched; involucre
