Text: "This specimen has a relatviely dense cover of coarse hairs. It is perhaps closest to S. spanomerus but the achenes have shorter, more closely-appressed papillose hairs that is typical of this species. If further collections and field observation show that it forms populations that are consistent morphologically in terms of the indumentum, it will possibly deserve taxonomic recognition."
