Adenostyles (from aden, a gland, and stylus, a style, in allusion to warty glands of the stigmas). Compositae. A little-known group of hardy perennials, grown for their purplish or whitish flowers, perhaps known in America only in botanic gardens.

Leaves alternate or radical, usually broad, the petiole frequently dilated into a stipule-like, st.-clasping base; fls. in medium-sized heads, the fls. all tubular, long, exserted; involucre cylindric or bell-shaped, its bracts small and unequal.—There are only 5 species, all natives of Cent. S. Eu. None is of horticultural importance. May be grown in the open border. Prop. is by seed and division. CH
