In the wild plant the flowers are densely capitate, nearly sessile, and the calyx almost woolly ; but when 

 cultivated, the former are fascicled and on long pedicels, while the latter are merely pubescent. It therefore 

 becomes a matter of great difficulty to distinguish the present from the two preceding species ; and if the 

 relative length of the calyx and corolla, and of the corolla and stamens, prove not constant, we fear that all 

 must be reduced as varieties to G. laciniata of Ruiz and Pavon.
