Stem two to five feet high, erect, very villous. Leaves lanceolate, the 
upper generally entire, always scabrous on the upper surface, sometimes 
pubescent underneath, numerous. Flowers in secund racemes, on long 
branches recurved at the summit. Scales of the involucrum twelve to six- 
teen, oblong, rather obtuse, imbricate, small, appressed. Florets of the 
ray yellow as in all of this genus, so short as to seem wanting. Seeds pu- 
bescent? 
Grows in the mountains of Carolina.

In the western districts of Georgia, I met w ith a species agreeing very 
nearly with the T. Procera of Aiton. Stem three to five feet high, very 
pubescent. Leaves lanceolate, very acute at each end but not acuminate, 
finely serrate; scabrous on the upper surface, covered with a fine pubescence 
on the under, conspicuously triplinerved. Flowers in a pyramidal panicle, 
the lower branches, perhaps all, recurved before flowering. Scales of th£
