4. C. lanceolàta, L. Smooth or hairy (1--2° high), tufted, branched only
at the base; leaves all entire (the lower rarely with a pair of small
lateral lobes), lanceolate, the lowest oblanceolate or spatulate; outer
scales ovate-lanceolate.--Rich or damp soil, Mich. and Ill. to Va., and
southward. July. Also cultivated in gardens. Heads showy; rays 1´
long.--Var. ANGUSTIFÒLIA, Torr. & Gray, is a low form with crowded
narrow leaves and elongated peduncles.--Var. VILLÒSA, Michx., is hirsute
below, the leaves rather broad.
5. C. grandiflòra, Nutt. Mostly glabrous; lower leaves lanceolate and
spatulate, entire, the _upper 3--5-parted with lanceolate to linear and
sometimes 2--3-parted lobes_; heads as in the last or larger.--S. Mo. to
Tex. and Ga.
6. C. pubéscens, Ell. More leafy, 1--4° high, pubescent or nearly
glabrous; leaves thickish, oblong or the lower oval-obovate and the
upper oblong-lanceolate, entire or with 2--4 small lateral lobes; heads
usually smaller.--Va. to S. Ill., Mo., and southward.
7. C. auriculàta, Linn. Pubescent or glabrous; stems 1--4° high,
branching, sometimes with runners; leaves mostly petioled, the upper
oblong or oval-lanceolate, entire; the lower oval or roundish, some of
them variously 3--5-lobed or divided; outer scales oblong-linear or
lanceolate; achenes narrowly winged and strongly involute.--Rich woods
and banks, Va. to Ill., and southward. June--Sept.
§ 3. _Style-tips cuspidate; achenes oblong, nearly straight, without
callus, the wing narrow or none; rays yellow, mostly entire or slightly
toothed._
[*] _Outer scales narrow, about the length of the inner, all more or
less united at base; rays mostly entire, acute; pappus 2-toothed or
none; leaves opposite, sessile, mostly 3-divided, appearing as if
whorled; perennial, 1--3° high._
[+] _Leaves 3-cleft, but not to the base._
8. C. palmàta, Nutt. Nearly smooth, simple; leaves broadly wedge-shaped,
rigid; the lobes broadly linear, entire, or the middle one
3-lobed.--Prairies, Mich. to Minn., and southwestward. July.
[+][+] _Leaves divided to the base, uppermost and lowest sometimes
simple._
9. C. senifòlia, Michx. Plant minutely soft-pubescent; leaves each
divided into 3 sessile _ovate-lanceolate entire leaflets_, therefore
appearing like 6 in a whorl.--Sandy woods, Va. and southward. July.
Var. stellàta, Torr. & Gray. Glabrous, and the leaves narrower.--Va.,
Ky., and southward.
10. C. delphinifòlia, Lam. Glabrous or nearly so; leaves divided into 3
sessile _leaflets_ which are 2--5-_parted, their divisions lance-linear_
(1--3´´ broad), rather rigid; disk brownish.--Pine woods, Va. and
southward. July.
11. C. verticillàta, L. Glabrous; leaves divided into 3 sessile
_leaflets_ which are 1--2-_pinnately parted into narrowly linear or
