Arbuscula dioeca ad 2 m alta, trunco primario certe ad 7 cm crasso, pseudo- dichotome-subumbellatim ramosa, ramis junioribus viridibus, cicatricibus lineari- bus foliorum manifeste notatis. Folia ad apicem ramorum more generis conferta, cras- , dilute viridia, glaberrima, lanceolata—anguste obovato-lanceolata, in apicem acutum sensim angustata, versus basin valde contracta, margine in parte dimidia superiore minute denticulata, nervo mediano utrinque conspicuo, basi latissimo, secun- dariis indistinctis, angulo acuto exeuntibus, plerumque 7—12 cm longa et 1,5—2 cm lata, sed magnitudo summopere variabilis (folia ad 18,3 X 4,7 cm visa, in specimine sylvicola unico invento ad 22 X 3,5 cm). Inflorescentia terminalis valde ramosa corymbosa, bracteis sat parvis instructa; pedicelli capitulorum 1—2 cm longi, superne pilosi. Capitula J1 7 mm alta et 10 mm crassa; involucrum campanulatum, 5 mm altum et 4 mm latum, addito calyculo a bracteis perpaucis angustis ad 2 mm Longis formato. Squamae circ. 12, 5 mm longae et 1,5 mm latae, glabrae vel dorso pilis nonnullis inspersae, apice penicil- latae, crassae, margine scariosae, liberae sed manifeste imbricatae. Flores ligulati 8, flavi, 8 mm longi, ligula 3— X 2 mm, irregula- riter tridentata, in tubum abrupte angustata, stylo breviter bifido paulo exserto. Flores disci 6 mm longi, viridi-lutei, antheris flavis; stylus inclusus apice bifidus ramis truncatis penicillatis. Pappus multiradiatus. Capitula $ magis numerosa certe ad 75, 8 mm alta et 7 mm lata; involucrum cylindrico-campanulatum, sub apice constrictum, basi truncatum et pilosiusculum, 6—7 mm altum basi 4—5 mm. Fig. 34.
