St. and branches stout stiff rounded striate dark reddish or 
purple, clothed like the petioles with short close-set crisped 
gland-tipped subviscid hairs. Petioles slender about | length 
of 1. ; the latter 2-3 or 4 in. long, lf-2f broad, shining and 
smooth above except the nerves, powdery-puberulous all over 
beneath, becoming ultimately nearly or quite smooth on both 
sides ; the 2 side margins coarsely toothed, the 3rd or basal be- 
low the 2 side angles entire and more or less cuneate rendering 
the normally triangular 1. more or less rhomboidal. Fl. nu-

grant like Hawthorn, in large trichotomously branched leafy 
paniculate cymes. Heads or calathids 3 lines long and broad

narrow-linear almost capillary gr. bracts. Scales gr. 2-3 or 4-

wards, all ciliate and clothed all over with purple-headed 
glands, acute or acuminate but not aristate. Pappus in a single
