' Erect annual herb, about 3 ft. high, with a musty odour 
like Pelargonium; stem green or rarely red; leaves simple 
or rarely pinnate, membranaceous, glabrous or sparsely 
puberulous, 4-5 in. long, elliptic, irregularly serrate, with- 
out auricles, or rarely with single auricles; heads drooping; 
involucral bracts green, narrow, pubescent, about 20; florets 
numerous, brick-red at apex, tube white; styles brick-red; 
achenes brown, hairy between the ribs. 
Apparently a recent introduction, but now a very common weed in 
cultivated ground. Fls. August, etc. 
A native of Tropical Africa. 
Perhaps better placed in Crassocephalum Moench.
