pairs, forming gray lines across the leaf. 
W. N. Y., ZT. Gratiot, Au. 11, '97, etc. 
55? Round-bract form. Serrate rather than crenate. Heads 
close. Unlike type chiefly in its bracts which are chiefly rounded 
and very obtuse, even the outermost so; as in A. divaricatus L. 
Perhaps as near to A. densatus, p. 341, s to A. macrophyllus ; but 
with leaf-texture of the latter. remediate to A. roscidus. 
Rounded bract-tips occur also in Torrey and Gray's A. macrophyllus

till dry ; pedicels strict and elongated; rays violet, fading dingy 
white. Otherwise like A. macrophyllus type. 
N. J., Palisade Park, Se. 14, 1900, very many plants with big radicals, n

55" Refracted form. Branchlets greatly divaricated and re- 
fracted, on short distant branches in a high narrow inflorescence. 
Stem pale-green, smooth.  Petioles continuous, soon narrow- 
winged, at the branches with broad short wings. Leaves apple- 
green, ovate-oblong, entire and smooth to the eye, actually 
irregularly denticulate. Sinus almost none even in basal leaves; 
bases chiefly truncate. Radicals small, deltoid-ovate, in small tufts. 
Bracts obtuse-rounded, oblong, ciliate. Rays 13-16, close to- 
gether, violet, soon whitish, round-tipped with 2 or 3 excessively 
minute teeth. Disks golden, soon dull umber to maroon, fina
