grayish stems and spreading pale-green to dull ivory-white branches,

_ or slightly pubescent on the nerves beneath, serrate-dentate, 1-1.5 dm. 
‘ong, 3-5 cm. wide, 3-nerved from well above the base and with small 
intramarginal as well as transverse veins; panicles terminal and to 
Some extent lateral; heads small, about 11-flowered; involucre
