hairs near the base of the involucrum. Involucrum 10—12 parted; flo- 
rets yellow, nearly three times as long as the involucrum. Scales of the 
exterior pappus not distinguishable in my specimens, bristles of the interior 
numerous.

This appears from the description to have been the original Tragopogon 
Dandelion of Linnaeus. Specimens sent to me from Salem, North-Caro-
