Summary:

This document describes the structure and ontogeny of glandular trichomes of Compositae, tribe Heliantheae, subtribe Madinae. Through this study, the author attempted to examine, from liquid-preserved or herbarium material, all of the taxa of the Pacific Coast Madinae, that included the Californian genus, Raillardella. In addition, the materials of the Hawaiian Silversword (genera Dubautia, Argyroxiphium, and Wilkesia), were also examined. Due to the close similarity of trichomes in the Hawaiian and Californian genera to those of the Pacific Coast genera that has been traditionally accepted as Madinae, it is considered as one line of evidence that the four genera named should be included in Madinae.
