Root perennial. Stem about four feet high, terete, glabrous. Leaves 

 large, opposite, on petioles two to three inches long, spathulate ovate, thin- 

 ner than those of any other species with which I am acquainted, excepting 

 those of H. Strumosus, slightly scabrous, not hairy on the upper surface, 

 paler and a little pubescent on the under. Flowers few, small, terminal. 

 Leaves of the involucrum lanceolate, fringed, appressed, as long as the disk. 

 Florets of the ray about ten.> yellow, about an inch long; of the disk not 

 numerous. Seed obovate, compressed. Pappus subulate, pubescent. 

 Chaff of the receptacle slightly tridentate, fringed at the summit and along 

 the back. ^ 



^ In structure and habit very similar to H. Spathulatus, but with tliinner 

 leaves, longer petioles, and smaller flowers. 



Grows in the western districts of Georgia. 



Flowers August — October.
