L. wERVATA. Stems 1} to 2 feet high, leafy and leafy- 
bracted to the summit, with 3 to 10 subcylindric and sub- 
sessile heads in the axils of the uppermost bracts; herbage 
deep-green, scarcely punctate, seeming glabrous, a lens dis- 
closing some short bristly hairs along the stem and on the 
leaves beneath: leaves linear, or the lower narrowly lance- 
linear, these often 8 or 10 inches long, with very prominent 
white midvein, 2 to 4 smaller but still prominent veins 
intervening between that and the callous margins, the 
upper leaves and bracts small, linear, 1-nerved: subcylindric 
heads subtended by several lanceolate strongly ciliate bracts, 
the proper bracts or scales of the involucre few, green, in no 
degree scarious or ciliate, their broadly ovate tips cuspidately 
acute, not striate: pappus not strongly plumose, though 
more than subplumose.
