twelve or more rays, the outermoH longefl,
all of them hifpid with fetae prefled upwards.
INVOLUCRUM: the univerfal one compofed o f many
leaves, about half the length of the rays,
the leaves ufually as numerous as the rays,
linear, pointed, the margin membranous and
white; the partial one compofed of many
leaves, fimilar to the others, prefled to the
rays, the length of the fmall umbels.
PERIANTHIUM of each floret 5-toothed, minute,

COROLLA: the general one milhapen, radiated; Florets
of the difk abortive; each floret of the dijk
male, fmall, of 5 petals, inflexo-cordate, equal;
