AGRIMONIA INCISA T. & G.
From 1°-334° tall, either simple, terminating in an elongated strict raceme, or bearing also ascending racemes from bracts or reduced leaves on the upper part of the stem. Stem clothed with a close soft-pubescence and villous with loosely spreading hairs which become subappresscd and more pilose above and disappear in the pubescent and glandulose racemes. Leaves numerous, rather close and ascending, becoming gradually smaller and ap pressed above, narrowly-oblong or oblanceolate in general outline, 3'--6' long, wide, the leafstalks tomentose-pubescent and villose. Leaflets thickish, prominently veiny, commonly 4-5 pairs, short, mostly oblong and in length, 4"-7" wide, sessile, or subpetiolulate, abruptly acute at base, rounded or acute at apex the odd one rather longer and with more narrowed base, acutely incised-serrate with few (3-6 on each side) salient, often slightly recurved teeth penicillate-haired from the apex, upper surface vel vety, lower surface soft-pubescent and pilose-hairy, thickly covered with minute shining glands. Subleaflets a small 3-cleft pair in
each interspace, with or without a minute entire pair on either side. Stipules narrowly laciniate-lobed, the terminal lobe longer, often cut on the inner side. Flowers rather large, rather loosely disposed on short subappressed pedicels ; sepals elliptic; bracts and bracteoles very small. Fruit about 2" long, wide, short-obovate or obconic with rather broad furrows, the numerous crowded bristles mostly marginal, ascending and erect, exceeding the broad obtuse calycular process. Roots not seen. (Plate 283, fig. 8.) Dry pine woods, according to the label on one specimen.
