Very similar in habit and foliage to D. carnosa, but differing in the very hairy 
achenes and the long, silky pappus. 
17. D. taraxacoides (DC. 1.c. 471); stemless, very woolly at the crown 
and in the axils; radical leaves glabrous, tapering into a broad petiole, 
obovate or spathulate, on each side bluntly 3-5 lobed or crenate; pedunc. 
scapelike, twice as long as the leaves, one-headed; inv. scales 13-14, con- 
crete below, lanceolate, acute, membr.-edged ; achenes densely hairy ;

Crown of root thick. Leaves many, rosulate, 2 inches long, including the petiole. 
Pedune. 3-4 inches long. Inv. campanulate, many-fl.; its scales connate nearly to 
their middle. : 
18. D. digitata (Less. Syn. 89); herbaceous, glabrous, or below pu- 
bescent, with tuberous root; stem short, simple or branched, with 
wool-tufts in axils of branches and leaves; branches sparsely leafy, 
ending in long, nude, one-headed peduncles ; leaves polymorphous, all 
the cauline from broad, stem-clasping bases, the lowest tapering at base 
into a petiole, cuneate or oblong, or lanceolate, coarsely 3—5-lobed, or 
toothed, or entire ; upper sessile, coarsely toothed or pinnatifid; heads 
many-fl.; inv. sc. 8-10, oblong, acute; pappus rufous; achenes closely

generally more or less toothed or lobed. The lower parts of stem and petioles are 
sometimes closely pubescent. Upper leaves oblong or spathulate, with very broad, 
clasping bases, incised or entire. Pedunc. 6-8 inches long. D. campanulata, DU., 
ing to Ecklon’s specimens in Herb. Sd., does not differ from our var. 8., which 
IT had brought hither before I knew it was DC.’s plant; it exists in Hb. Thunb. also. 
19. D. perfoliata (Th. Cap. 663); herbaceous, glabrous; root tuber-
