| Notes: | Label source: The leaves are alternate, narrowly oblanceolate, entire, with three principal veins ; about 1 to 2 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch broad, tapering much below, the leaves and stems being densely covered with down, which on the veins and stem, is a of a yellowish tint. The taste is aromatic and slightly bitter. The flowers are minute and in small corymbs, and apparently belong to the Composite and, so far as can be judged from the imperfect material, an undescribed species of Vernonia. The pl, ant is said to be emectic and expectorant. | ||||
