Indiana marks the eastern limits of this, the most conspicuous of our 
species. The yellow, rope-like clusters of the flowers are not infrequently 
one to one and a half inches in thickness. It produces but few seeds. most 
of the ovules being abortive. Bessey (Amer. Nat. 78: 1145. 1SS4) pointed 
out the fact that the flowers are produced endogenously breaking forth in 
two more or less parallel lines. This species favors tall Compositae.
