T know not whether the species which in unison with Dr. Schweinitz I 

 am describing as the S, Elata, be the real plant of Pursh, whose descriptioa 

 is very brief- It accords, however, with it in its leading characters* 



Stevi two to three feet high, terete, pubescentj when young tomentosc, 

 branches erect, not numerous. Leaves sessile, rather small, nearly entire, 

 with elevated veins, pubescent, underneath almost tomentosc. Scales of the 

 iiivolucnim linear-lanceolate, acute^ pubescent. Florels of the ray seven tO 

 ten, nearly twice as long as the involucrura; of the disk ten to twelve. Seed 

 glabrous,
