S. Pendleri, Gkay. Very canescent with pannose or floccose wool, in age tardily glahrate : 



stems rather stout, 5 to 15 inches high, leafy, the larger plants branching: leaves oblong- 

 lanceolate or narrower; radical sometimes almost entire, more commonly like the cauline 

 sinuately pectinate-pinnatiiid or even piimately parted, the short oblong di\isions incisely 

 2-4-lobed: heads mostly numerous and crowded, small (3 or 4 lines high) ; raj'S rather 

 numerous: akenes and ovaries glabrous. — PI. Fendl. 108, Pacif. R. Rep. iv. Ill, & Proc.

 ""^ S. Neo-Mexicanus, GE-iv. More or less canescent with looser tomentum, in age gla- 

 hrate: stems robust, a foot or two high (often from a simple thickish caudex), few-leaved, 

 simple or often branching above, and bearing loose cymes of comparatively large (often 

 half-inch) heads : leaves thickish (inch or two long) ; radical oblong-obovate to spatulate, 

 with cunoate or tapering base, sometimes coarsely few-toothed only at summit, many lyrate- 

 pinnatifid, with few or several pairs of smaU lateral lobes ; cauline similar or more pinnatifid, 

 and the lobes incisely few-toothed: rays 12 to 16, in larger heads half-inch long: akenes 

 sometimes hispidulous-papillose, sometimes quite glabrous. — Proc. Am. Acad. xix. 55. Has
