Pappus pallide rufescens. — — 
Apparently very near M. gonoclada, DC., but the iud 
and branches are not acutely hexagonous, nor are the : mur SE 
. villous, and in that species the leaves are not said to be 
scabrous on the upper surface. In the present plant an 
pappus is, moreover, rather stramineous than rufous. — —
