7 LAPPULA INFELIX. Low, slender, simple or with a few 
loosely racemose often tortuous branches, the leaves and 
leafy bracts of the raceme pilose, no rosette of radical leaves 
produced: all four nutlets alike, more or less deeply cupu-

disposed to run together and form meshes, the intervening 
spaces finely tuberculate.
