Shrub, .5-1 m. high; branches angulate-channeled, densely 
tomentose; leaves alternate, petiolate, elliptic-oblong to sub- 
obovate, 5-8 cm. long, 1.5-3 em. broad, entire or remotely sin-

the early stages, but soon glabrate, densely and persistently 
tomentose beneath; petioles .5-1 cm. long, tomentose; inflores- 
cence a terminal sessile crowded corymbose cyme; heads about 
8 mm. high, discoid, calyculate with spatulate 5-7 mm. long

lanceolate, obtuse, 6 mm. long, densely tomentose on the outer 
surface; flowers 10-12; corollas tubular-funnelform, yellow; 
setae of the pappus white, equalling the corolla; achenes hir-

The relationship of this species appears to be with S. carinatus 
Greenm. from which it differs in having a crowded and very 
densely tomentose inflorescence, spatulate subsquarrose bracte- 
oles, eight instead of five involucral bracts, and more numerous 
flowers in the head.
