Root tuberous. Stem noue. Leaves in a cluster at 
the crown of the root, pinnate: leaflets widely and 
roundly ovate, entire, opposite, ternate or in fours, 
thickly clothed on both sides, with short white hairs, 
which gives them a hoary appearance. Petioles nearly

Stipules subulate, membranaceous, joined to the base 
of the petioles. Scape branching, leafy at the base of 
the peduncles. Peduncles cylindrical, densely clothed 
with hairs, some spreading, others close-pressed. In- 
volucre of numerous subulately-linear fringed bractes. 
Calyx 5 -cleft, segments lanceolate, concave, very hairy, 
the upper one erect, the others reflexed. Nectariferous 
tube sessile, slightly flattened, very hairy, more than 
twice the length of the calyx. Petals 5, the two up-
