SYNGENESIA ^QUALIS.

L. Tomentosa of Michaux. It agrees, however, in so many other respects, 
that I think it may be adopted as that species, at least, until a better claim- 
ant for the name shall be discovered. 
Grows in damp soils along the margins of swamps in Georgia. 
Flowers, September — October.

Root perennial. Stem about two feet high, nearly glabrous at base, very 
hairy towards the summit. Root leaves nairow, lanceolate, glabrous, with 
the attenuated base three to five inches long; stem leaves diminishing in size, 
the upper ones very small, ovate, sessile and hairy. Corymb few flowered. 
Branches , one to five flowered. Scales of the involucrum ovate, acute, 
coloured, tomentose. Corolla deep purple. Seeds furrowed, a little hairy, 
crowned with the coloured slightly feathered pappus. 
This plant appears to form an intermediate species between L. Bellidifolia 
and Tomentosa.
