 Gorymbi 4,0 cm long., 4,0—5,0 cm lat. Peduncnli proprii modice 1,0 cm 

 long., gracillimi. Braclese circa 0,3 cm long. Capitula 0,5 — 0,6 cm diam. 

 Involucri phylla 0,6 cm long., 0,04—0,05 cm. lat. Ligulse (limbus) lateee

 0,45 cm long. Achcenia 0,25 cm, pappus fere 0,5 cm long. 



A species with much the look of S. répandus Thunb. but différent 

 from il, among other points, in the denser inflorescences, the shape 

 of the capitula, the very narrow involucral leaves and the extremely 

 short ligules.

Very near 6\ arenarius Thunb., but the habit is more erect, the lobing 

 of the leaves is quite différent, tho heads are smaller and relatively 

 broader, and the achenes are not half the size, and in relation to their 

 lenglh considerably broader.
