This species resembles E. monosperma Gmel. very much, it is different 

 by the involucre, the nucleus and the tubillus. Perhaps it were to be 

 regarded as a variety of E. nebrodensis Tin,, which has the same feminal 

 characters. I have named it after Mrs. 0. Fedtschenko, a remarkable 

 oriental florist.

 feminal flowers I am not sure that it is not an E. monosperma.)
