iongo-Ianceolatis, supe- 
rioribus ovatis, omni- 
bus carnosis, rigidis, 
glabris, margine asper- 
rimis ciliatisque; race- 
mis corymbosis, inferi- 
oribus recurvis; ligulis 
elongatis. E. 
lanceolate, the upper 
ovate, all carnose, ri- 
gid, glabrous, very 
rough and fringed a- 
long the- margin; ra- 
cemes corymbose, the 
lower recurved; florets 
of the ray long. 
Stem four to six feet high, robust and virgately erect, branching near the 
summit, the young branches hirsute. Leaves closely sessile; the lower 
lour to six inches long with fine indentations along the margins; the upper 
ovate and generally entire, all very rigid. Flowers large for this genus, in a 
terminal corymb; the lower branches recurved and secund. Scales of the 
involucrum oval, fringed or pubescent along the margins. Florets of the 
ray about ten; of the disk rather more numerous, all yellow. Seed gla- 
brous. 
This species is probably allied to S. Laevigata and Mexicana, but appears 
to be sufficiently distinct. 
Grows in the middle districts of Georgia. Louisville, Mr. Jackson.
