Stem erect, robust, three to five feet high, striate, pubescent. Leave»j 

 except the lowest, sessile, lanceolate, serrate towards the summit; slieiitiy 

 pubescent on the upper surface, very pubescent undernenth. Flowers large, 

 in compound erect racemes. ' Jjiyo/tfcrMWi imbricate, the scales hneai, re- 

 flpxed like those of the Aster.' Florets of the ray about ten, scarcely longer 

 than the involucrura; of the disk sixteen to twenty. Seed^ glabrous, fa^p- 



pus hairy, scabrous. 



I have described the southern species, on which this name was brst im- 

 posed by Dr. Muhlenberg. It appears to differ in some though not very 

 important characters, from the northern plant described by Mr. rsutt- 

 all. It is one of our most ornamental species; it has the structure ol an 

 Aster, with the appearance and peculiar fragrance of a Solidago. 



Grows in dry sandy soils. 



Flowers In September.
