 length 2 to 4 in.; breadth 1 to TG in.; petiole '3 or '4 in., pubescent. 

 Stipules broadly oblong, blunt, scaly, '2 in. long. Gapitula on puberu- 

 lous peduncles *2 to '3 in. long, in fascicles of 3 or 4 at the apices of the 

 branches. Floivers '4 in. long, confluent by their calyces into globular 

 capitula *2 in. in diam. Calyx very short, cupular. Corolla salver-
