 branched, hirsute; leaves petioled broad-ovate, crenate, obtuse, 

 hirsute; bractes ovate, ciliate; calyx hairy. 



Description: Stem erect, stout from I to 2 feet high, quad- 

 rangular and grooved between the angles, with a few opposite 

 branches towards the summit, the whole thickly beset with a 

 hirsute pubescence standing out at right-angles from the stem: 

 leaves few and large; the lower ones sub-cordate, on petioles 

 of some length; the upper broad-ovate attenuated into petioles 

 which become shorter. upward, all obtuse and coarsely crenate, 

 covered on the upper surface and the veins beneath with stiff 

 hairs. Floral leaves entire, broad-oval, nearly round, pubes-

This species approaches nearest to the S. pilosa but is al- 

 together a more stout and hirsute plant. They differ also m 

 the form of their leaves and bractes. 



Discovered by Mr. H.A. Griswold on the borders of marshes 

 around Louisville, Ky. Unfortunately the flowers had passed 

 before it was met with. 



(1!) Symphitum officinale— Tanacetumvulgare. These two 

 exotics having passed the confines of cultivation, are becoming

 from settlements.
