9YNGENESIA SUPERFLUA, 
This species has a very close affinity to the preceding, which it resem- 
bles entirely in habit and appearance, it differs only in its leaves, which 
are large and coarsely toothed, and in its seeds, which appear, at least, by 
my specimens, to be much smaller. 
Sent me from Louisville, Georgia, by Mr. Jackson to whom I have been 
indebted for so many rare species, from the same district of country. 
Flowers August — October,

Root perennial. Nutt. Stem about two feet high, slender, hispid and 
scabrous, irregularly branching towards the summit. Leaves very narrow, 
the lower ones with long tapering bases, very acutely serrate, hispid apd 
scabrous. Flowers in a long scattered panicle. Involucrum many leaved, 
imbricate; scales x linear-lanceolate, slightly acuminate, pubescent on the 
back. Florets of the ray not numerous, bright yellow, as in all the species 
of this genus ; of the disk tubular, yellow. Style two-cleft. Seed oblong, 
hispid, the interior pappus reddish brown, scabrous, the exterior wanting. 
In this species which has long been known to me and which I sent Dr. 
Muhlenberg many years ago, as the Inula hispida, I have been able to dis- 
cover no trace of an exterior pappus unless the upper hairs of the seed can 
be so called. 
Grows near Savannah, whence it was first sent me by R. W. Habersham, 
Esq. I have found it also near the national establishment on the Chatar 
houchie River.
