 hairy footstalks. The Jiower-stalks are numerous, clothed, like

 with short, black, glandular bristles, and they form an irregular, 

 sometimes compound, cymose panicle, bearing several scattered, 

 linear, hairy bracteas. Fl. about an inch wide, of a full bright 

 yellow. Seeds slender, angular. Recept. slightly scaly, or cel- 

 lular.
