underneath, the lower 
on petioles; involucrum 
5-leaved, 5-flowered. 
Walt. p. 196. 
Stem three to four feet high. Leaves large, acute, very irregularly and 
obtusely toothed, seven-nerved, and slightly glaucous underneath. Flowers 
in a fastigiate corymb, pedicel clothed with small subulate scales, which 
sometimes surround the base of the involucrum. Involucrum oblong, com* 
posed of five equal, linear leaves. Corolla white. Seed smooth. Pappus 
hairy, white. Receptacle naked, with a glandular projection in the centre. 
The root of this plant I did not observe ; it appears to have been noticed 
by Walter, and to resemble very closely the C. Tuberosa of Nuttall; yet 
differing from both of their descriptions. My specimens, which are notsr 
before me, are distinctly though slightly glaucous underneath. 
Grows in the western parts of Georgia. Common in the highlands near 
the Alabama. 
Flowers September — October. 
3. Lanceolata? 
C. caule herbaceo; 
foliis angusto-lanceola- 
tis, utrinque acutis, re-

sis, subtus subglaucis ; 
involucris 5-phyllis, 5- 
floris. 
Stem herbaceous; 
leaves narrow lanceo- 
late, acute at each 
end, remotely toothed,

Nutt. 2. p. 138. 
Stem four to six feet high, heaves long, narrow, lanceolate, remotely, 
but distinctly and acutely dentate, obscurely seven-nerved, slightly glaucops 
underneath. Flowers in a terminal corymb, pedicels more naked than in 
the preceding species. Involucrum composed of five equal, linear-lanceo- 
late, acute scales, with membranaceous margins. Corolla nearly white. 
Seed smooth, glabrous, striate. Pappus hairy, white. Receptacle very 
small, with a glandulary projection in the centre. jp
