taller, more erect and straight stetn than the last, bearing several

 or dark purple j the under side paler j radical ones on long 

 hairy /oo/s/a/A-s. TheJIower-stalks are numerous, clothed, like 

 the calyx, with short, dense, rather cottony, down, intermixed 

 with short, black, glandular bristles, and they form an irregular, 

 sometimes compound, cymoseprt?iic/e, bearing several scattered, 

 linear, hairy bracteas. Fl. about an inch wide, of a full bright 

 yellow. Seeds slender, angular. Recept. slightly scaly, or cel- 

 lular.

In dry chalky woods, and on dry banks, or especially old park 

 walls, frequent. 



Perennial. June, July. 



Root slender, slightly creeping, with long, rather stout, fibres. 

 Herb hairy, of a pale, unspotted, grass green. Stem erect, 12 

 or 18 inches high, striated or slightly angular, very nearly, if not 

 quite, solid throughout, leafy, panicled at the top in a regular, 

 alternate, or racemose, manner. Radical and lower stem-leaves 

 on long hairy stalks ; upper nearly sessile ; all ovate-lanceolate, 

 or oblong, acute, most toothed about their lower half, the teeth 

 various in size, all pointing forward or outward, not backward. 

 Fl. smaller than the last, and much fewer, often but 2 or 3 in the 

 panicle, always simply racemose, not cymose ; their colour 

 bright yellow. Flower-stalks and calyx rough with short black 

 hairs, and sometimes a little cottony. Recept. roughish or mi- 

 nutely scaly. 



The name of H. murorum so well agrees with this common species.
