Doronicum Laevifolium. Walt. p. 205? 
Root perennial, sparingly stoloniferous. Stem erect, about two feet high, 
a little pubescent and scabrous near the summit. Leaves of the root spathu- 
late-lanceolate, irregularly toothed, glabrous, somewhat succulent; of the 
stem similar, but small and scattered, and sometimes slightly fringed near 
the base. Flowers few, sometimes only three or four, in a small terminal 
corymb. Involucrum imbricate, the leaves subulate, acute, a little hairy at 
base. Florets of the ray numerous, (about thirty) linear, obscurely three- 
toothed, white, twice as long as the involucrum; of the disk very numerous, 
tubular, five-toothed at the summit, greenish yellow. Stamens of the ray 
none; of the disk, short. Style short, two-cleft. Stigmas obtuse, appress- 
ed. Seeds hispid. Pappus hairy. Receptacle flat, naked, dotted. 
Grows in flat and damp pine barrens. 
Flowers May— June; sometimes again in the autumn.

Root perennial, stoloniferous. Stem twelve to eighteen inches high, and 
with the Leaves and Involucrum very hairy. Leaves of the root spathulate, 
obovate, dentate, the lower stem leaves similar, the upper small, lanceo- 
late. Flowers few, terminal, large for this genus, the one on the central 
stem, generally larger than those on the lateral branches. Involucrum some- 
what imbricate, but nearly equal in a double series; leaves linear-lanceolatej
