Montanoa mollissima, Brongn. Branchng shrub, more branching and stiffer than M. bipinnatifida, 6 ft., the branches pubescent but becoming almost glabrous: lvs. lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, about 6 in. long, sessile, dentate, white-tomentose beneath, veiny, soft to the touch: heads 1½ in. diam. on long peduncles, the rays about 9 and white, the disk yellow. Mex. B.M. 8143.—This and M. grandiflora, DC., are confused, but the latter (which may be in cult.) has very rough and scabrous lvs. that are brown-hairy beneath; what is known in cult.as M. grandiflora is probably diverse. Mex. G.C. 111.43:40. Gn. 74, p. 623. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
