C. Parishii, Gray. Minutely canescent : stems branching from a suffrutescent base and 

 bearing few heads : leaves pinnately parted into short and partly entire linear lobes : heads 

 hardly over half an inch high : palese of the pappus 13 to 15, linear. — Proc. Am. Acad. xx.

§ 2 1 . Heterochrojiea. Palese of the simple pappus 10, little shorter than 

 the slender akene and the disk-corolla, lanceolate, resolved above into 5 or 7 awns, 

 the central one longer, and the lateral successively shorter : rays white ! 



H. concinnum. Depressed and spreading from the annual root, mostly glabrous, glau- 

 cescent : leaves chiefly alternate, thickish, pinnately parted into narrowly linear obtuse and 

 pointless divisions : heads sessile and clustered at summit of the short leafy branchlets : in- 

 volucre 1 2-1 4-toothed, nearly naked at base : rays 10 or 12, the showy oblong ligules (2 lines

 maphrodite and fertile. Involucre campanulate, shorter than the disk ; its bracts 

 imbricated in two or three series, oblong or ovate, appressed ; outermost short 

 ones nearly herbaceous ; inner partly or wholly scarious and obscurely nervose
