Species Description:
General: Sparsely pubescent, tap-rooted annual, usually with a simple stem 1.5-8 dm. tall
Leaves: Leafy throughout, the leaves more or less pinnatifid and irregularly toothed, 2-12 cm. long and 4-40 mm. wide, narrowly lanceolate in outline.
Distinguishing Characteristics: Separate from the only other annual Senecio in our area by the number of involucre bracts (S. vulgaris has about 21, S. sylvaticus,13), the bracteoles (only S. vulgarisÆ are black-tipped) and the aroma (only S. sylvaticus is malodorous).
