 Stylus validus, supeme exsertus, inclinatus, apice cyathiformi. Achcenium vix ullum abortivum. 



This plant resembles, in some respects, the L. scariosa, Cass., but is very much larger, densely woolly in 

 many parts, with its leaves shorter and less regularly divided ; it also wants the pellucid glands which beset the 

 leaves of that species and contain a powerful essential oil.
