55. O. tenuifolia, Benth. A shrub of 3 to 4 ft., often scabrous or glu- 
tinous, with glandular papille or very short rigid hairs, otherwise glabrous. 
eaves narrow-linear, acute or almost obtuse, i to 1 in. long, the margins 
usually revolute. Flower-heads much larger and fewer than in O. glandulosa, 
which the species resembles in foliage, all pedunculate, irregularly corymbose. 
Involuere nearly hemispherical, the outer bracts with herbaceous lanceolate, 
but appressed lips, the inner ones dry, nearly 3 lines long. Ray-florets 10 
15; disk-florets not much exceeding the involucre. Style-appendages 
short. Achenes more or less hairy. Pappus unequal, the outer bristles some- 
times quite short.—Lurybia tenuifolia, DC. Prod. v. 269.

with articulate hairs. Leaves rather crowded, linear, obtuse, entire, with re- 
volute margins, mostly above 1 in. long. ower-heads rather large, on pe- 
duncles shorter than the leaves, solitary or few in a short corymb.  Involuere 
hemispherical, the bracts numerous, acute, the inner ones above 3 lines long, 
the outer ones gradually shorter. Ray-florets above 20; disk-florets nume-

with stout, erect, virgate branches, very scabrous with short, rigid hairs. 
Leaves crowded, linear, mucronate-acute or obtuse, with revolute margins, 7 
to l in. long, very scabrous or almost muricate. Flower-heads large, soli- 
tary or 2 or 3 together at the ends of the branches, on peduncles shorter than 
the leaves. Involucre hemispherical, the bracts narrow, the inner ones 5 
lines long, the outer ones often scarcely shorter. Ray-florets above 20 ; disk-
