Stem covered^ particularly towards the summit^ with slender, jointed, white 

 hair. Leaves opposite, sessile, amplexicaule, distinct, rather broad, very 

 glabrous on the upper surface, pubescent underneath along the veins, and 

 sprinkled with resinous dots, obtusely serrate and truncate at base* Pedun- 

 cles and Involucrinn pubescent. Very similar to E. Sessilifolium, yet suffi- 

 ciently distinct by a stem pubescent, leaves truncate at base, the serratures 

 larger and more obtuse, and the involucrum more pubescent. Willd. 



I have taken the description of this and the preceding species from WiU- 

 denow. Specimens which have been sent me under these names from Penn- 

 sylvania, North-Carolina, and the mountains of South-Carolina, are not to 

 me sufficiently distinct ; perhaps I have seen only pne species. 



Grows on the Saluda and Alleghany mountains. 



Flowers August — September.
