Stem 1-4 ft., subnude upwards, hirsute with white lax hairs at the apex of the 

 peduncles. Leaves 3-12 in., 1-2-pinnate, oblong or ovate \ pinnae J-3 in., ovate or, 

 oblong, acute or obtuse, crenate-serrate or lobed, rhachis with lax white hair. 

 Bracts 1-4, \ in., linear or lanceolate, or 0; rays 6-16, 1-3 in.; bracteoles 4-8, 

 i in., linear or linear-lanceolate; pedicels 8-16, 0-| in. Calyx-teeth linear, small.' 

 Young oyflry very hairy, rarely slightly pubescent. Dorsal and intermediate ridges 

 filiform, distinctly elevated; wing broad; dorsal vittae | the length of the fruit, 

 not clavate below, commissural distinct, near the medial line, more than half as long 

 as the carpel.— Easily separated from H, candicans by the indumentum. The leaves 

 are most variable. No example exists at Kew of H. cmereum, but there appears no 

 3Peason why it should not belong here.
