Berzelia lanuginosa (L.) Brongn.

Usually 60-80 cm high, much branched, with villous branchlets. Leaves mostly 5-8 mm long, closely set, erect-spreading or spreading, lanceolate, obtuse, apiculate, convex and bluntly keeled on the dorsal surface, slightly convex on the ventral surface, occasionally somewhat concave below the middle, conspicuously ciliate, becoming glabrous. Stipules minute, subulate. Flower-heads about 4 mm wide, often clustered at the ends of the branchlets, surrounded by involucral leaves, the inner of which are 3.5-4.5 mm long, linear or linear-oblong, obtuse, ciliate on the lower half, and shortly exceeding the flowers. Bract and bracteoles acicular, almost as long as the flower, with caducous hairs on the dorsal surface. Calyx-tube obconic, clothed with caducous unicellular hairs, with a free cup-shaped upper part: calyx-lobes lanceolate, reaching to well above the middle of the petals, with caducous hairs on the dorsal surface or glabrous. Petals scarcely 2.5 mm long, ovate-elliptic or obovate-elliptic, very obtuse, persistently pilose on the dorsal surface. Anthers ovate. Ovary almost entirely inferior; styles connate throughout, reaching to well above the middle of the petals. Fruit unknown.
