Root perennial. Stem about two feet high, covered like the whole plant 

 with a white cottony tomentum, which seems rather adhering to the sur- 

 lace of the plant, than growing out of it. Leaves of the root oblong, oval, 

 generally obtuse, finely serrulate or cremilate, supported by petioles tTiree to 

 SIX inches long ; leaves of the stem smaller, oblong, more or less dissected. 

 flowers m a small terminal umbel. Involucrum many leaved, the leaves 

 equal, linear-lanceolate, very woolly at base. Florets of the ray, twelve to 

 htteen, the ligules lanceolate, nerved, slightly three toothed j of the disk nu- 

 merous. Stamens as long as the tubular florets. Seed pubescent } Pap- 

 pus simple, setaceous, similar on all the florets. 



This plant has great resemblance, in size, and outlines, to the S. Balsa- 



mitae; besides, however, its woolly surface, its leaves are much more slightly 



serrate, and the florets of the ray not dlstinrtlv three-notched as in that*sne- .
