 radical ones long-petiolate, ovate- or oblong-lanceolate, unequally serrate 

 with sharp points, attenuated below, mucronate-obtuse at the apex, sub- 

 triplinerved ; cauline ones sparse, densely placed, linear- lanceolate, serrate 

 with depressed teeth, mucronate- acute or obtuse at the apex, narrowly at- 

 tenuated into the petiole below, often sub-triplinerved ; veinlets finely 

 reticulate at the under surface. Inflorescence terminating the stem, 

 densely flowered, forming an oblong or oblong-ovate panicle ; peduncle 

 hirsute, branching into a few stout-filiform, hirsute, bracteate pedicels ; bracts 

 minute, linear. Head small, 12-15 mm in diameter. Involucre
