Stem covered, particularly towards the summit, with slender, jointed, white 
hair. Leaves opposite, sessile, amplexicaule, distinct, rather broad, very 
glabrous on the upper surface, pubescent underneath along the veins, and 
sprinkled with resinous dots, obtusely serrate and truncate at base. Pedun- 
cles and Involucrum pubescent. Very similar to E. Sessilifolium, yet suffi- 
ciently distinct by a stem pubescent, leaves truncate at base, the serratures 
larger and more obtuse, and the involucrum more pubescent. Willd. 
I have taken the description of this and the preceding species from Will- 
denow. Specimens which have been sent me under these names from Penn- 
sylvania, North-Carolina, and the mountains of South-Carolina, are not to 
me sufficiently distinct ; perhaps I have seen only one specie^. 
Grows on the Saluda and Alleghany mountains.

E. foliis subsessili- 
bus, oblongo lanceola-

Leaves nearly ses- 
sile, oblong-lanceolate, 
somewhat scabrous, 
serrate; the interior 
scales of the involucrum 
long, lanceolate, scari- 
ous, white.
