ing the rudiment of a small branch, producing numerous small almost seta- 
ceous leaves. Flowers in a compound terminal panicle. Branches slender 
but generally erect. Scales of the involucrum linear-lanceolate, glabrous. 
Florets of the ray seven to ten, slender. Seed slightly pubescent. Allied 
to S. Viminea. 
Grows in rich soils. Found on Paris Island, near Beaufort. 
Flowers September — October.

leaves 1 anceo 1 ate,abo v e 
very scabrous, gla- 
brous underneath, the 
lower serrate; racemes 
somewhat secund, 
branches short, some- 
times recurved. 
Stem four to five feet high, when old nearly glabrous, when young pubes- 
cent and slightly scabrous, generally coloured and bearing towards the sum- 
mit a few slender erect branches one to two feet long. Leaves sessile, the 
lower three to four inches long, scarcely one wide, regularly lanceolate, 
Very scabrous on the upper surface, very glabrous and paler on the under 
surface; the upper ones diminishing in size. Flowers in long slender ra- 
cemes, in which the small branches are sometimes recurved. Scales of the 
involucrum oblong, rather acute. Florets of the ray about five, very slender. 
Seed nearly glabrous. 
This plant, which I can refer to none of our described species, and of 
which the location appears somewhat questionable, is very common in the 
oak land in the western districts of Georgia. 
Flowers September — October.
