parchment-like leaves which have the midrib prominent and greatly 
thickened on the under surface, strongly reticulated with prominent 
pale veins closely interlaced, but springing from a pinnate series of 
secondary nerves ; the ultimate projections of the marginal vein-

blunt mucro ; corymbs long-peduncled from the upper axils, with 
heads similar in size, colour, &c.; to those of S. Jacobaea, Linn. 3 
involucre rather narrow at the base where the phyllaries are often 
connate ;- phyllaries much broadened upwards, with a wide dark-

truncate at the summit, at the base contracted, smooth, scarcely 
compressed, on the disk even; pappus dull-white, wavy, with the
