243, 1906.—Biennial herbs with very short branched leafy 
stems. Scapes one to half a dozen or more from the same 
individual, the middle one erect, the others usually curved 
near the base, terete, smooth, 1 to 5 cm. high, the longer 
ones commonly branched from the middle and rebranched 
toward the apex. Leaves alternate, sessile, the semiclasping 
base toothed or with broad lobes, 3 to 5 cm. long, the 
broader ones lyrately pinnatifid, the linear ones toothed or 
only slightly pinnatifid, glabrous above, dirty white and 
scabrously pubescent beneath, succulent. Heads turbinate, 1 
to 1.5 cm. long, the younger ones upon slender half droop- 
ing peduncles; involucral bracts equal, 1 cm. long, linear 
to lanceolate, acute, glabrous, united at the base, with nar- 
row scarious margins; flowers many, tubular, pink, 9 mm- 
long, the basal portion knob like, gradually expanded toward 
the apex, the segments linear and 2 mm. in length; anthers 
included, linear, 3 mm. long; achene 2 to 3 mm. long, 
5-costate, equal in diameter throughout, finely strigose along 
the edges; pappus soft, silky white, 5 mm. in length, ample,
