Leaves alter- nate, oblong, very narrow, pointed, sessile, taper- ing toward the base, dark green and smooth above but densely white-woolly beneath, the margins slightly wavy. Heads very numerous, several panicled clusters growing on a plant. Each head is oblong, few-flowered, with pistil- late florets in the outer rows, those in the center perfect; involucral bracts appressed, white and papery, sometimes tinged with brown, blunt-pointed, the outer row woolly at the base. Seeds smooth and very small, the pappus tawny yellow. (Fig. 309.). Fig. 309.— Sweet Everlasting {Gnaphalium poly- cephalwm). X i.
