Stem erect, slender, 
pubescent; leaves long, 
linear-lanceolate, atte- 
nuate at base, serrate, 
slightly scabrous on 
both surfaces, pubes- 
cent; racemes recurv- 
ed; peduncles and flo- 
rets of the ray long. 
Stem about three feet high, pubescent, slightly scabrous, slender, bearing 
towards the summit branches which are slender, rather scattered, almost 
horizontally expanding and recurved. Lower leaves three to five inches 
long, six to eight lines wide, with a long tapering base, somewhat scabrous 
on both surfaces, slightly serrate, the upper distant and small. Floivers of 
a middling size in a loose terminal panicle. Racemes secund, the peduncles 
frequently three-flowered, and longer than the involucrum. Scales of the 
involucrum linear, glabrous. Florets of the ray about five. Seeds pubes- 
cent. 
The plant I have described agrees in most respects with specimens sent 
me under this name from Salem, North-Carolina, by Dr. Schweinitz. 
Grows in the western districts of Georgia.
