Stem two to three feet high, streaked, not slender, a little hairy. Leaves 



th°% ^^*^' ^^^ '°^'^'" 'i"^^ lanceolate, dotted, acute, hairy and fringed near 

 tne base, nearly glabrous towards the summit. Racemes long, leafy ; pedun- 

 cles one-half to one inch long, the lower ones long, compound, furnished 

 ^ith small scales. Involucrum oblong, containing ten to fourteen flowers ; 

 scales rather obtuse, fringed, appressed. Corolla bright purple, scarcely 

 wnger than the involucnmi. Seeds hairy. Pappus feathered, not coloured. 



i ins variety is certainly not sufficiently hairy to have merited the trivial 

 name which belongs to this species ; perhaps it is really distinct.
