 lous, hoary. Leaves all opposite, cordate, ovate, acute, sessile, pubescent, 

 soft excepting the margins which are very scabrous, the nerves and veins 

 prominent, and apparently bordering the young leaves. Flowers few, rarely 

 exceeding two to three, terminating the small branches. Involucrum imbrii 

 tate, scales somewhat subulate, acute, very villous. Florets of the ray 

 (fourteen to sixteen) lanceolate, nearly entire, yellow or rather tawny; of 

 the disk numerous, tubular, yellowish, five-cleft, pubescent at the summits. 

 Stamens and styles as long as the florets. Seeds compressed, a little hairy.
