A low species, flowers the size of L. Pycnostachya. Pursh. 
Var. dubia. Barton? 
Stem two to three feet high, streaked, not slender, a little hairy. Leaves 
long, linear, the lower linear lanceolate, dotted, acute, hairy and fringed neat 
the base, nearly glabrous towards the summit. Racemes long, leafy ; pedun- 
cles one-half to one inch long, the lower ones long, compound, furnished 
with small scales. Involucrum oblong, containing ten to fourteen flowers;; 
scales rather obtuse, fringed, appressed. Corolla bright purple, scarcely 
longer than the involucrum. Seeds hairy. Pappus feathered, not coloured. 
This variety is certainly not sufficiently hairy to have merited the trivial, 
name which belongs to this species ; perhaps it is really distinct., 
Grows in pine barrens — Georgia to New-Jersey. 
Flowers, August — October.
