FL Filip. ed. 2; 439, 1845.—Stems many, ascending, soft 
 cottony, leafy, 12 to 20 em’ high. Leaves linear obovate, 
woolly pubescent on both surfaces, the larger leaves subtend- 
ing fascicles of smaller ones. Inflorescence terminal, spicate; 
heads sessile or subsessile; basal bracts pubescent, upper ones 
dull white; flowers whitish; achenes minutely papillose; pap- 
pus hairs free. 
The herbarium contains no specimens of this species 
from the Philippines, but since it has been reported from 
Formosa, China and the Malayan region, it can easily be 
suspected to occur on some of our islands.

Tropical Africa and Asia, Australia and Japan.
