the larojer and broader, the achenes also are longer and broader and 

 the scales of the pappus longer. Moreover the seta? of the pappus, 

 white instead of green, are much more numerous.

The fasciculate leaves on the reduced branches together with the 

 comparatively large heads with their 4-rowed involucre are the chief 

 points about this species.
