Leavesopposite, decussate, triplinerved, dotted, slightly scabrous, with a somewhatglaucous, or perhaps more correctly, hoary hue. Flowers in a fastigiatecorymb. Involucrum ten leaved, five flowered ; leaves lanceolate,acute, very pubescent. Corolla white. Stamens very short. Stylemuch longer than the Corolla. Seeds angled, Pappus scabrous, longerthan the corolla. Decoctions of this, as well as of the preceding species,used with much success as a tonic febrifuge. I have always suspectedthis plant te be the E, Marrbium of Walter. It is commonlyknown through our low country as the Wild Ilorehound, and its leavesbear more to the Garden Ilorehound, (inarrubiuin vulgare,) thanthose of an) -other of our species.Grows in dry pine barrens.Flower.- from .July to September.
