Caule erecto superne precipue ramoso tereti, foliis sessilibus 
lineari-lanceolatis pungenti-acutis marginibus revolutis basi 
dilatatis semiamplexicaulibus, ramis foliosis monocephalis, 
capitulis radiatis, involucri calyculati squamis circiter 20 
lineari-lanceolatis disco eequalibus, floribus disci 30-40, ligulis

Senecio littoralis. Gaudich. in Ann. des Sc. Nat. 5, p. 104. De 
Cand. Prodr. 6, p. 413. 
The specimen here represented has leaves glabrous or nearly 
so; but about the branches and particularly about the leaves is 
an arachnoid wool, which looks as if, in the early state, it had 
covered the whole of the stem, branches and involucre ; the a. 
of Gaudichaud is woolly all over, Perhaps S. vaginatus, Hook. 
and Arn. Fl. of S. Am. in Journ. of Bot. y. 3, p. 331, should be 
referred to this species,
