Sprout-forms show chiefly obovate cuneate-winged caulines and

80. Aster Jussiei (Cassini) Burgess. 
Slender dark-green plants with multiform radicals, lanceolate 
sharp-serrate long-acuminate leaf-type, some lower ones and radi- 
cals lanceolate with narrow sinus, all leaves thin glabrate and 
roughish, the inflorescence very irregular, a deep-branched corymb
