This species is certainly allied to C. Ottonxz¢s Sch. Bip., which 
has the same inflorescence; but C. Ottonrs differs by its hairy 
akenes and by its leaves being shorter, wider and much more hairy 
beneath. Our species is also related to C. Zacatechiché Schlecht. 
and salmaefolia Hemsl., but both have hairy fruits and short, 
truncate pappus.

The specimen of the New York herbarium is exactly the same as 
the type of Germain, upon which Philippi founded his species. It 
is very distinctfrom S. argenteus Remy and S. chzlents Lessing by 
its glabrous fruits and also by a slight difference in the tomentum, 
which looks like thin paper on S. argenteus and chitlensis, while 
it is here rather lke wool or cotton-wool. However later on 
Philippi omitted our species in his list of Plant. Neuv. Chilenas. It 
must have been forgotten. 
S. argyreus with smooth achenes is quite a different plant, with 
large leafy stems, much larger heads and a yellowish tomentum.
