A. undulatus, g., Ait. 
Spreading or various-leaved Aster. 
A very fine species, blooming with a profusion of flowers 
fora long time. From six inches to four feet high. Lower- 
leaves panduriform, all of them of a greyish-green. The 
_ plant when vigorous is very much branched or bushy. Flow- 
ers small, pale-blue or purple. In the woods of Jersey this 
species is found, at the roots of trees, flowering with a simple 
stem scarce six inches high. In,more favourable situations 
it becomes as large as above des@ibed. I have cultivated it 
in my garden, and found it a hafdy, showy, perennial, con- 
tinuing in full flower for two months. It is therefore deserv- 
ing of cultivation. In woods and thickets, every where com- 
mon. Perennial. September till November. 
15. A. leaves ovate-lanceolate, sub-serrate, petio- paniculatus. 
late, glabrous; those at the root ovate-cordate, 
serrate, rough, petiolate : petioles naked; stem 
very much branched, glabrous. small: branches 
hairy ; calices loose, nearly imbricated.— Willd.
