SYNGENESIA ^QUALIS, 
297 
Involucrum ten-leaved, five-flowered; leaves linear-lanceolate, pubescent, 
sprinkled with glandular dots, purplish at the summit. Corolla white, 
sprinkled with glandular dots. Stamens very short. Style much longer 
than the corolla, two-cleft. Stigmas obtuse. Seed furrowed, sprinkled 
with glandular dots; crowned with a scabrous almost feathered pappus. 
This species has evidently been confounded with the preceding by Wal- 
ter and Michaux, and I feel uncertain whether my references to Willdenow 
and Pursh are correct. This species, however, appears to me sufficiently 
distinct. 
Grows very common, preferring damp soils. 
Flowers September — October.
