Two ray florets measured to 1/2 x 1/4 in but mostly smaller)orate, entire, pointed but not sharply, smoothly rounded at base, some (not definitely the lower ones) almost ciliate, nerves ardo-ascending, margins slightly revolute. Fl in short ped. clusters in axils. Clusters alittle than br. Calyx definitely (at least) 10-nerved, hairy 4mm long. Corolla seems about as long as calyx (in various specs. I have never seen corolla open). Stamens or ray floret filaments included, the anterior ones larger. As infl progresses, the lvs of lower fl. clusters often drop & always there is a tuft of lvs at top while axils bear buds that do not allow as that plant looks as tho' flowers borne below lvs or as tho' there was a lflfy short stator flo.
