obscurely serrulate (teeth about 8 pairs, appressed, scarcely mu- 
cronulate), 3-nerved and somewhat venose, above densely and 
harshly tuberculate-hispid and -hispidulous, the incurved at length 
deciduous hairs with strongly persistent bases, beneath densely 
and canescently hispidulous-pilosulous between the veins with 
subspreading hairs and gland-dotted, along the veins tuberculate- 
hispid and -hispidulous with subincurved hairs, 7-9.5 cm. long, 
1.8-3 cm. wide; petioles unmargined, very densely tuberculate- 
hispid-pilose, 3-8 mm. long. Heads 5 in specimen, terminal and. 
on axillary naked or bracted peduncles 6—-15.5 cm. long, hemi-

Involucre 5-seriate, graduated, 1.3 em. high, the outer phyllaries 
lanceolate, acute, strongly involute, herbaceous (or slightly in- 
durated and subglabrous but scarcely costate at base), densely 
tuberculate-hispid-strigose and -strigillose, within densely and 
minutely hispidulous-pilosulous, the apex strongly reflexed; next 
series similar, broader, at base indurated and subglabrous, the 
triangular herbaceous apex more or less reflexed; the innermost 
series oblong, thinner, the somewhat ampliated subchartaceous- 
submembranous apex reflexed, strigillose and ciliolate. Rays about 
22, linear-oblong, yellow, more or less puberulous on back, 18 
mm. long, 4 mm. wide; disk-corollas yellow, below and on teeth 
puberulous, at base ampliated, 6-7 mm. long (tube 1 mm.). Pales

Achenes (immature) brownish-black, substriate, subtruncate, 
glabrous, 3 mm. long. — MEXICO: Micnoacan (?): pine forests,

leafy, the stem stoutish, striatulate, very densely and sordidly

opposite, the uppermost alternate, ovate or broadly ovate, acute to 
acuminate, rounded to subcordate and clasping at the sessile base, 
serrate with usually appressed teeth, triplinerved and reticulate 
below, above green, tuberculate-hispid-pilose with appressed or 
incurved hairs, and gland-dotted, beneath similarly pubescent with
