 rhombic-ovate, caudate-acuminate, acute at the base, mucronate-serrate, 

 thin, pinnately nerved, deep green and nearly glabrous except on the 

 midnerve above, paler and puberulent or tomeutulose upon the nerves 

 and veins beneath, 1 to 1.3 dm. long, half as broad ; petioles 2 to 3 cm.

 tulose ; heads about 35-flowered, very numerous in a round corymbose 

 panicle ; scales of the involucre in about 3 series, narrowly oblong, acute 

 to acutish, in a dried state stramineous except a central dark brown streak, 

 the more or less narrowed tips thin, erose : corollas slender, without 

 definitely marked throat, glabrous except near the limb : pappus white,
