aetate sublepidota basibus pilorum persistentibus infra paullo 
pallidiora dense appresse hispidulo-strigillosa 10-11.8 cm. longa 
4.8-5.3 cm. lata, in petiolis dense minuteque canescenterque 
strigillosis immarginatis 1.2-2 cm. longis. Paniculae axillares et 
terminales ca. 50-cephalae pyramidatae ad 3 cm. latae foliis multo 
breviores dense strigillosae. Capitula globosa 5 mm. alta 3.5-4.5 
mm. diametro sessilia vel brevissime pedicellata irregulariter 
aggregata. Involucri phyllaria 3 ovalia acutiuscula 8~-13-nervia 
vix subherbacea supra dense strigillosa 3-3.8 mm. longa 2.1-2.8 
mm. lata. Receptaculum nudum, paleis flor. fem. subtendentibus 
squamis similibus paullo angustioribus exceptis. Flor. fem. 5, 
hermaph. 11. Flor. fem.: corolla 2.5 mm. longa, dentibus 4 dorso 
sparse pilosis. Flor. hermaph.: corolla 3 mm. longa, dentibus 5 
pilosis; ovarium sterile oblongum ad apicem villosum 1.3 mm. 
longum. Achenia suborbicularia nigrescentia vix marginata sparse 
pilosa 2.1 mm. longa 2 mm. lata. — Peru: Mathews 1360 (ryprs: 
Brit. Mus., Kew, fragm. in hb. Gray). — Rather closely related 
to C. sylvestre (Aubl.) Baill. (C. Vargasii DC.: see above), but 
that species, unknown in Peru, has smaller heads with a more 
decidedly herbaceous involucre.
