Diagnostic description

This species is recognized easily by its large solitary capitula with herbaceous involucral bracts. P. lanceolata seems to be a very rare species; I have examined only 20 collections, 19 of which were collected before 1920. The most recent gathering is from 1960. This species should be sought as it may be extinct. From: Anderberg, AA. 1986. The genus Pegolettia (Compositae, Inuleae). Cladistics 2(2): 158-186. [All rights reserved]

Habitat

It inhabits stony places such as mountain sides. From: Anderberg, AA. 1986. The genus Pegolettia (Compositae, Inuleae). Cladistics 2(2): 158-186. [All rights reserved]
