subtomentosa; caule 
ramoso, ramis erectis 
virgatis; foliis lanceo- 
latis, acutis, inciso-

Plant-covered with a 
short tomentum; stem 
branching, branches 
erect, virgate; leaves 
lanceolate* acute, deep- 
ly toothed and entire, 
scabrous, , the lower 
trifoliate; scales of the 
involucrum linear-lan- 
lanceolate, deflected, 
much shorter than the 
florets of the ray.

R. Triloba, var. Subtomentosa, Mich. 2. p. 144? 
Root perennial. Stem three to four feet high, slightly furrowed, pubes- 
cent, bearing very many virgate branches. Leaves alternate, sessile, three- 
nerved, scabrous and covered with a fine somewhat tomentose pubescence; 
the lower nearly trifoliate, having two small lateral leaves at the base; the 
middle leaflet lanceolate, sometimes deeply notched, sometimes entire; the 
upper leaves lanceolate, entire. Leaves of the involucrum linear-lanceo- 
late, or subulate, tomentose and deflected. Florets of the ray about eight, 
yellow, two-cleft at the summit, three times as long as the involucrum. Flo- 
rets of the disk very numerous, of a brownish yellow. Seed four-angled; 
pappus obsolete, the summit of the seed slightly toothed. Receptacle ob- 
long, oval, chaff truncated, longer than the seed, tomentose at the summit. 
I am uncertain whether this is the R. Subtomentosa of Mich, and Pursh. 
It is a very distinct species from the R. Triloba, to which in fact it has no 
resemblance but in its tripartite leaves. 
Grows in the western districts of Georgia. 
Flowers August — September.
