slightly woody plant, much branched and very leafy at least to the mid- 
dle; root fibrous asif annual; stem terete, covered with a thin arach- 
noid flocculent wool; branches ascending, flexuous, ending in 1-3 dense 
rounded pedunculate corymbs; leaves opposite, petiolate, lanceolate, — 
gradually narrowed to an obtusish tip, cuneate at the base, 1-1.5(-3) 
‘em. long, 2-4(-10) mm. wide, with about 7 crenations on each side,

WirHovT Locauity: Triana, no. 1169 in part (K.). 
Obviously close to the preceding, yet readily distinguishable both 
by its very different leaf-contour and by its pubescence of ex 
fine white wool, the individual hairs being obscure and implexed, not 
clearly spreading as in E. microphyllum.

petioled base, crenately many-toothed on each side, 3-6 cm. long, 
4-10 mm. wide, pinnately many-veined from a strong midrib, gra. 
puberulent above, white-woolly beneath; corymbs terminal on long 
erect almost leafless opposite or alternate branches; heads crow 
about 6 mm. high and 4 mm. in diameter, about 27-flowered; involu- 
cre campanulate, about 3-seriate, cottony at the base; scales lance- 
oblong, acuminate, green or toward the tip often dark-purple, hes 
length somewhat tawny-stramineous; disk alveolate, at matut 
more or less elevated; corollas lilac, blue, or white (Rusby & P ennell), 
the proper tube about equalling the gradually enlarged throat; eer

summit.— Suppl. 355 (1781); J. E. Sm. Ic. iii. t. 69 (1791); BB
