Stem about two feet high, pubescent. Leaves opposite and alternate, 
hbout two inches long, with numerous and acute serratures, entire at base, 
and tapering almost to a petiole. Flowers in terminal corymbs. Involu- 
crum eight to ten-leaved ; the interior leaves strap shaped, the exterior small, 
all very pubescent and sprinkled with glandular dots. Corolla white, with 
the pappus scarcely longer than the involucrum. Style much longer than

The flowers of this plant are much smaller than those of any other of the 
corymbose species which I have seen.
