Root perennial. Stem about two feet high, slender, glabrous, excepting 
near the root. Leaves of the root cordate, oval, sometimes nearly round, 
crenate, glabrous, supported on petioles about six inches long ; lower leaves 
of the stem small, nearly round, on petioles scarcely an inch long, the up- 
per sessile, amplexicaule, pinnatifid. Flowers in a simple, terminal umbel. 
Inoolucrum with only one or two small leaves at base. Florets of the ray 
yellow. Seed glabrous, striate. Pappus setaceous, similar in all the florets. 
I have a specimen sent me from Pennsjdvania by Dr. Muhlenburg, under 
the name of S. Aureus, which appears to agree exactly with the S. Cymba- 
Jaria, of Pursh, excepting that its flowers are in a small umbel. 
Grows in the mountains of Carolina. Mich.
