SYNGENESIA— POLYGAM.-iEQU. Hieraclum. 365 



very slightly hairy, cottony at the base, like the summit of each 

 flower-stalk. The panicle is otherwise smooth, not bristly nor 

 glandular, and bears several diminished leaves, resembling those 

 of the stem, but much smaller. Willdenovi^'s definition and 

 description of this plant but ill accord with my Swiss specimens. 

 There seems no reason to suppose it a native of Britain, but I 

 subjoin its character and synonyms. The name taken from 

 Vaillant, is not apposite. 



H. succiscEfolium. Stem solid, furrowed, leafy, corymbose, smooth,

 of the flower-stalks, somewhat downy.

Perennial. August. 



Root somewhat woody, blackish. Herb rather glaucous. Stem 1^ 

 or 2 feet high, erect, stout, cylindrical, with several slight an- 

 gles, smooth, or nearly so, quite solid, corymbose, leafy. Ra- 

 dical leaves on long, flat, very shaggy footstalks, elliptic-oblong, 

 or obovate, from 3 to 5 inches in length, acute, sometimes ob- 

 tuse, either nearly entire, or beset with small distant teeth, the 

 surface besprinkled with dots, a little like those of Cerinthe, but 

 these are often very slight, and the long hairs which accompany 

 them are variable in quantity ; stem-leaves sessile, ovate, entire, 

 taper-pointed, fringed, gradually diminished to copious leafy 

 hracteas on the rough stalks of the panicle. Fl. rather large, 

 pale yellow, on bristly glandular stalks. Cat. covered with 

 shaggy, but short, hairs. Seeds furrowed, dark brown. Down 

 minutely rough.
