dwarfish less-branched pi. than G. saxatile (L.), with fewer 
shorter thicker and mostly more erect less straggling branches 
from 3 or 4 to 8 or 10 in. long. L. 1-1 ^ in. long more densely 
crowded upwards and erect not squarrose, the lower more 
broadly lanceolate or elongato-spathulate. Ped. shorter mostly 
geminate and almost always terminal. Heads larger with more 
numerous florets and a broader disk, hemispherical 4-5 lines 
long and broad. Scales all scarious mostly altogether brown, 
but in et sometimes pale yellowish or greenish with the tips 
and midrib brown, in dried sp. they are somewhat lax or 
loosely erect, but not more so than in G. saxatile when dried, in 
which they are originally very closely adpressed ; and I have 
not observed them in the living pi. By Gusson they are said 
to be adpressed, and by Grenier and Godron to be “ toutes ap- 
pliquees. 
There is a true spec, of var. 3 in the Linn. Herb., but un- 
named by Linnaeus, and with merely the numerals 36 in- 
scribed on it in ink, which is the number on the named sheet 
of his true Conyza saxatilis to which it is pinned. The name 
rupestris has been subsequently written on this unnamed sheet 
in pencil by Sir J. E. Smith. Thus, although Linnaeus plainly
