Stem elongated, often semi-shrubby and woody below 

 and covered with the deflexed persistent withered 1., usually 

 much branched, clothed with a thin skin of felted cotton ; 1. 

 very numerous, spreading, i|-2 in., linear, acute, often 

 mucronate, margin usually recurved sometimes flat, strongh* 

 3-veined, densely clothed when young on both surfaces with 

 a felt of cottony hair which is persistent beneath, but with 

 age often wears off the upper surface which is then glabrous, 

 shining, and dark green ; heads variable, small, in dense 

 rounded clusters which are more or less stalked and form a 

 large flat-topped inflor. often surrounded by 1., inv.-bracts 

 erect, appendage ovate-oblong, obtuse or subacute, dead white. 



Upper montane zone; common. About Nuwara Eliya frequent; 

 Hakgaia; Hortun Plains; summit of Rangala Ridge; Wattakelle Hill. 

 Fl. Sept.-Nov. ; yellow. 



Also in Himalaya, Upper Burma, N. China, and Japan; but ap-

The leaf-margins are usually recurved, and the tomentum by no means 

 always cinnamon-coloured, but often pure white or greyish. The most 

 variable of our species ; there are several forms, and possibly more than 

 one species included. That from the N.E. mountam-mass has broader 

 lanceolate leaves, very ferrugineous beneath, and much larger heads. 

 The foliage is somewhat sweet-scented.
