D, scabraj but the leaves are sharply

 abruptly enlarged about the middle.

 of the stem form a dense weft at the 

 summit of which are the numerous 

 short shoots of the year, usually only 

 5 lin. high. Leaves rosulate, form- 

 ing a kind of involucre round the 

 contracted inflorescence, Yunnan, 

 China. (Edinburgh B. G.)
