Perennial. Jidij, August. 



Root tufted, somewhat creeping, with many long fibres, litems 

 several, 2 or 3 feet high, erect, branched, leafy, round, downy, 

 often brown or purplish, filled with pith. Leaves on short stalks, 

 deep green, downy, but rather rough to the touch, for the most 

 part in 3 deep, lanceolate, strongly serrated lobes, sometimes 

 iti 5, when they assume a pinnate, rather than digitate form ; 

 the upper ones only, according to the confession of Dillenius 

 himself under the variety /3, are in that variety simple. This 

 often happens in the wild plant. Th^ flowers form dense, pale 

 purplish, convex, corymbose tufts, at the top of the stem and 

 upper branches. Florets not more than 5 or 6. Gcrmen be- 

 sprinkled with minute shining globules. Seed-doivn rough, ra- 

 ther than feathery, prominent between the florets. Whole herb 

 slightly aromatic.
