Radicals small, chiefly 3 x 21% in., asymmetrically cordate- 
ovate, crenate, with full deep sinus, a little apiculate. 
Cauline leaves of very uniform shape and size, chiefly with

base, low-serrulate margin, and firm thick granular-roughened 
texture i in — the upper surface like sand-paper when dry and
