234. PERITRIS (around triple) II a f. A- 
nother Genus akin to Arnica distinct by habit 
and triple perianthe — Perianthe in triple se- 
ries, outer shorter with few lax folioles, the 2 
inner equal and adpressed. Phoranthe flat 
naked. Rays few tridentate. Seeds oblong 
compressed pubescent, pappus simple. Habit 
of Jacobea , caulescent corymbose.— Perian- 
th e nearly like Aliseia with the addition of a 
calicule, but chaffs lacking and habit unlike. 
235. Peritris oyatifolia R. puberulent, 
stem erect subangular lower leaves petiolate 
ovate serrate acute, petiols winged, upper leaves 
sessile ovate lanceol. serrulate or entire ; co- 
rymb ramose racemose, peduncles erect, bracts 
subulate, folioles of perianthe lanceolate — Flo- 
rida and Alabama, pedal, perennial, fl. yellow, 
perianthe smooth, calicule or outer pubescent. 
236. Arnica brevicaulis Raf. smooth, sca- 
pose, leaves obovate and cuneate, obtuse, un- 
equally crenate and laciniate, scape shorter 
than leaves and with flowers umbellate, bracts 
lanceol. wooly in the axiles. peduncles unequal, 
some very long, striate uniflore with 1 or 2 su- 
bulate bracteoles, perianthe lanceolate, wooly 
at the base. — Sent me from Alabama, stem 
only 4 inches, leaves 6, flowers large yellow, 
few rays, pappus white, seeds oblong angular 
smooth. This appears a real Arnica near A* 
nudicaulis , the perianthe being simple. 
237. Bellis parviflora Raf. stem branched 
diffuse, leaves sessile oblong acute entire sca- 
brose, peduncles terminal long naked, rays 
linear — In Kentucky on rocks, rare, annual, 
semipedal, leaves small, flowers white estival 
very small half size of B. integrifolia.
