Stem two to three feet high, slightly furrowed, the angles pubescent, 
branches very numerous, obliquely expanding. Leaves numerous, lanceo- 
late-linear, never wide enough to deserve the appellation of lanceolate, ob- 
scurely three to five nerved, the nerves underneath pubescent. Flowers 
numerous, clustered, in a terminal corymb. Scales of the involucrum nu- 
merous, linear-lanceolate, slightly viscid. Florets of the ray about ten, 
short; of the disk not numerous, rarely exceeding six. Seeds viilous. Re- 
ceptacle setose. Nuttall. 
Specimens of this plant from Connecticut agree exactly with ours, ex- 
cepting that in our southern species the heads are, I think, smaller, and the 
florets of the ray more distinctly exserted. 
Grows in damp rich soils; not so common as the succeeding species.
