Erecta, palmaris, tota lana dense vestita, basi paulo glabrata. Radix perpendicularis, fur- 
cata. Caulis erectus, fistulosus, simplex, densé foliosus, basi reliquiis marcidis foliorum 
squamatus. Folia patentia, petiolata, linearia, runcinata, laciniis acutiusculis margine 
revolutis, (laná abstersá) suprà glabra, subtüs cano-tomentosa ; superiora sensim ma- 
jora, integerrima, lana ferrugineá densiüs involuta. Capitula numerosa, in corymbo 
terminali subglomerata, folia involucrantia superante. Squamæ lineares, integre, la-

rior squamoso-pilosus, duplo longior, sordidus, squamis setaceis basi in annulum con- 
cretis, plumosis. Receptaculum setosum. ; 
In templis apud Badhrináth sanctissimis Indorum pro Nelumbio uti donum in sertis offer- 
tur; ideo “sacram ” nominavi; hoc usu in templis Kedamath, Pungnath, &c. S. (Aplo- 
taxis, DeC.) obvallata occurrit, ambæ a monticolis Indicé Kunwal (id est, Nelumbium) 
appellantur. Aplotaris obvallata et discolor (DeC.) sunt Saussuree verse ; series exte- 
rior pappi cito decidit, quapropter in sicco sepe Zplotazidis faciem praebent. Nomen 
discolor mutandum et S. piptathera vocanda propter setas exteriores caducas.
