Sericocarpus (Greek, silken fruit). Compositae. Five species of perennial herbs from N. E. U. S. closely allied to Aster and scarcely distinguishable from the section Biotia of that genus. The achenes are not so strongly compressed as in Aster. The fl.-heads have white rays and pale yellow disks which sometimes become purplish. They are erect perennials with alternate lvs. and medium-sized heads of white ray- and disk-fls. S. rigidus, Lindl., the only western representative of the group (Brit. Col. to Calif.) was once offered. CH
