sient, drying blackish; larger leaves 5 cm. long by 2 cm. broad, ` 
passing gradually into the floral, which are 1 cm. long by 5 mm. 
broad, lance-ovate, sessile, blunt, obscurely coarse-toothed to en- 
tire, thin, pale beneath; heads at length solitary and loosely racemed 
along the branches of the panicle, erect on peduncles 1 mm. long; 
involucre 5 mm. long by 1 mm. broad, the scales lance-oblong, 
acute, finely many-nerved; mature akene black, narrowly linear- 
oblanceolate, sharply angled, the edges serrulate, 4 mm. long; 
narrow lower portion of corolla-tube blackish, 1 mm. long, hirsute, 
the dilated portion 2 mm. long, twice as broad as the lower 
glabrous, or nearly so, yellowish white, the lobes similar, ob- 
long, 1 mm. long, spreading or reflexed; pappus reduced to a 
circle of short teeth. 
Not the same as Matthews' 1130 or 1335, nor Mandon's 244 
though it resembles all of them.

Boliviensis, and found to agree perfectly. It has a rhizomatous 
base.
