(Hairs show bifurcated apex like 3-27-30)
1-9-31??? Kadyopsis polymorpha (see 2-2 7-30)
Composite 1-2 in dlam. Bellver. Annuled with
very slender ato branching (dichotomously from
near base, to 8 in length. Branches (seemingly
maked) swell slightly under the terminal fl.
head. Involucrate 5-6, spreading so that head
is about 1/2 in diam., and partially enveloping
the radial achenee. Achenee almost cylindri-
cal (a little curved & a little narrowed at tip)
4 mm overall, brown, striate with the ridges
finely cut transversely, to appx a small
cup-like crown (denticulate or almost bi-
tire) Rechenes all alike except that radial
one more curved, none at all beaked.
Receptacle partb. naked. Dams to pubescent.
Root very blunt valvulae. Best guess seems to be
Kadyopsis in which usual papery base of interior
achenee did not develop.
