Perennial. August. 



Root abrupt, blackish, with many long, simple, lateral fibres. 

 Leaves radical, smooth, erect, either lanceolate and almost li- 

 near, or spatulate and obovate ; their teeth unequal, pointing 

 backward ; the base tapering. Stalks one or more, erect or as- 

 cending, from 3 to 6 inches high, swelling and very hairy at the 

 top, mostly simple and single-flowered, but now and then di- 

 vided. Bracieas few or none, scattered, linear, smooth. Cal. 

 clothed with long, black or greyish, soft, shaggy hairs. Cor. 

 bright yellow, twice the breadth of the calyx, the teeth {not feet, 

 as is carelessly printed in the Cyclop.) of the ^/iorets brownish. 

 Seeds oblong, angular, rough. Down uniform, sessile, conspi- 

 cuously featherv, so that the plant ought never to have been 

 taken for a Hieracium, nor is there any reason to suppose it a 

 mule, as Dr. Solander, by the only specimen he gathered in 

 Lapland, in 1/53, was induced to believe, and to persuade Lin- 

 naeus.
