St. smooth below & noticeably white spreading
pubescent above, hardly if at all rough leafy to
base. Lvs to 3 1/4 x 7/8 in, lanceolate (or widest above
middle), acuminate, narrowed somewhat
to sessile base. Smooth above & below, except
rough on edges, entire or almost so. Involucre
1/4 in long, tips spreading in bud but less so
in fl. Bracts more nearly same length
than in #64 & tips linear, thickish, green,
with no whitish border, ciliate & sparsely
& finely hairy inside. Fl lilac, linaceous, say.
36. Achenes hairy. Fls solitary on peduncles
(as usually but not always in #64) and
peduncles of lower fls not as elongated as
#64 when the terminal fl is open. Hence
inflorescence in effect.
