Root perennial. Stem about two feet high, covered like the whole plant 
with a white cottony tomentum, which seems rather adhering to the sur- 
face of the plant, than growing out of it. Leaves of the root oblong, oval, 
generally qf)tuse, finely serrulate or crenulate, supported by petioles three to 
six inches long ; leaves of the stem smaller, oblong, more or less dissected. 
Flowers in a small terminal umbel. Involucrum many leaved, the leaves 
equal, linear-lanceolate, very woolly at base. Florets of the ray, twelve to 
fifteen, the ligules lanceolate, nerved, slightly three toothed ; of the disk nu- 
merous. Stamens as long as the tubular florets. Seed pubescent ? Pap- 
pus simple, setaceous, similar on all the florets. 
This plant has great resemblance, in size, and outlines, to the S. Balsa- 
mitae; besides, however, its woolly surface, its leaves are much more slightly 
serrate, and the florets of the ray not distinctly three-notched as in that spe* 
cies. 
Grows near the Flat Rock not far from Camden. Mich. Found by Mr 
Whitlow in the middle country of Carolina. 
Flowers April — May.
