Tribe XIII. CICHORIACEA. 
Cichoriacee, Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. ii. pp. 168 et 219. 
This tribe includes about 800 species, referred to fifty-six genera; and it has nearly 
the same range as the whole order; but the species are by far most numerous in the 
Old World, and about 450 occur in the Mediterranean region alone. They are mostly 
herbaceous plants; a few, however, are shrubby, and there are two arboreous genera in 
the Pacific Islands. 
206. HIERACIUM. 
Hieracium, Linn. Gen. Plant. n. 913; Benth. et Hook. Gen. Plant. ii. p. 516. 
Heteropleura, Schz. Bip. in Flora, 1862, p. 434. 
Herbaceous plants. Bentham and Hooker estimate the number of species at about 
150; but double that number have been described as such. They are widely dispersed 
in the northern hemisphere; and a few occur in the Andes and in Extratropical South 
America and South Africa. The genus is unknown in Australia. There are about 
eight distinct species from Mexico in Kew Herbarium ; but they are all unnamed.
