Stem herbaceous, erect, two to three feet high, pubescent. Leaves of the 
stem opposite, decussate, somewhat deltoid, tapering to an obtuse pointy 
coarsely toothed, particularly towards the base, dotted, very hairy on the 
under surface. Flowers in a somewhat fastigiate co^mb. InvoMcrum 
ten-leaved, five-flowered ; leaves lanceolate, not very acute, very hairy. 
Corolla small, white. Style much longer than the corolla. Stigmas re* 
flexed. Seed angled. Pappus very scabrous. 
The E. Lanceolatum of Muhlenberg, which I have not seen in the South- 
ern States, appears to be an intermediate species between this and the E. 
Album, nearly allied to each, yet sufficiently distinct. 
If the synonyme from Willdenow which I have quoted, belongs really to 
this species, I know not why Michaux’s name should have been changed 5 
it has the claim of priority, and it is equally perhaps more appropriate. 
Grows in damp soils. 
Flowers August — September.
