gins slightly recurved, crenulated and crisped, no auricles upon our 
specimens. Stipules with fewer nerves than in the preceding variety. 
Heads fewer in number, but forming small corymbs, the bracteæ shorter ; 
the peduncles hispid. Fruit the same as in var. « but the faces nearly 
triangular, 
This is P. patens, Don, which Meisner refers to his.var. y. but with which 
our plant does not exactly agree.

Stem round, ribbed, woody, much branched, solid, covered with woolly hair, 
the internodes long. Leaves round or ovate, 1—13 inches long, silky, 
particularly underneath, ciliated, sessile. Stipules lax, torn, hairy, not 
half so long as the internodes. Flowers in small dense panicles, the 
bractez longer than the pedicels, hairy and 1-flowered, flowers 8-androus, 
3-gynous ; the 3 interior segments orbicular, 2 exterior oval and blunt ; 
pedicels without the usual joint. Fruit in too young a state for descrip- 
tion.
