8, 31, 1904.—Erect sparingly branched biennial. Stems lanose 
pubescent even with age. Leaves comparatively few, scattered 
along the stems and branches, oblanceolate, sessile, not decur- 
rent, 4 to 8 cm. long, 0.5 to 1.5 em. wide, acute, base attenuate, 
obscurely 3-nerved toward the base, white tomentose especially so 
beneath; branches toward the inflorescence sulphureous yellow. 
Heads of the glomerules crowded, subsessile, subtended by 
braets covered with a dense matrix of soft glistening white 
hairs; braets of the involucre dry, glabrous, white toward 
the apex or with age becoming yellow. 
This species is not easily recognized as distinct from 
G. luteo-album Linn. and may be only a broad leafed less 
yellow bracteate form of it.
