  is 
  very 
  distinct 
  from 
  

   this

  ought 
  easily 
  to 
  be 
  distinguished 
  from 
  it.

  lacks 
  the 
  central 
  foliaceous 
  bractlets 
  of 
  E. 
  Carlinae, 
  and 
  

   has 
  different 
  bracts 
  and 
  leaves 
  which 
  are 
  also 
  glaucous.

   The 
  species 
  has 
  never 
  been 
  very 
  fully 
  characterized, 
  DeCan- 
  

   dolle 
  merely 
  describing 
  the 
  leaves 
  and 
  involucre, 
  the 
  flowers 
  

   being 
  said 
  to 
  be 
  unknown. 
  The 
  plant 
  is 
  tall 
  and 
  branching: 
  

   leaves 
  slender 
  and 
  long 
  (35 
  to 
  45 
  cm.) 
  ; 
  bracts 
  2.5 
  to 
  3.5 
  cm. 
  

   long, 
  much 
  longer 
  than 
  the 
  globose 
  head 
  (12 
  mm. 
  in 
  diame- 
  

   ter) 
  ; 
  bractlets 
  lanceolate, 
  cuspidately 
  cleft, 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  

   flowers 
  or 
  a 
  little 
  shorter: 
  sepals 
  broadly 
  ovate, 
  abruptly 
  

  

  ,5 
  mm. 
  long 
  

  

  the 
  

  

  uiierai 
  scales 
  lorming
