  The 
  setae 
  of 
  the 
  aculei 
  are 
  mostly 
  simple 
  and 
  project 
  at 
  right 
  angles 
  

   from 
  them, 
  but 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  subiculum 
  are 
  generally 
  longer 
  and 
  are 
  

   often 
  stellately 
  or 
  radiately 
  branched 
  from 
  a 
  common 
  base. 
  Rarely 
  

   one 
  or 
  two 
  short 
  branches 
  project 
  horizontally 
  from 
  near 
  the 
  base. 
  

   The 
  plants 
  form 
  patches 
  varying 
  from 
  several 
  inches 
  to 
  several 
  feet 
  

   in 
  extent. 
  They 
  begin 
  to 
  develop 
  in 
  June 
  or 
  July 
  and 
  apparently 
  do 
  

   not 
  always 
  become 
  mature 
  before 
  September.
