According to our views of this species it is extremely variable, 
and passes into the H. bicolorum of Allan Cunningham and De 
_ Candolle. The stems are from 6 inches to a foot and more high: 
the leaves more or less narrow and more or less dense, silky or 
hoary, or even almost woolly; the scales of the involucre are 
_ Sometimes white, occasionally tinged with brown or purple. The 
Q Genus Helipterum of De Candolle only differs from Helichrysum, 
In the plumose, not scabrous pappus.
