366 SYNGENESIA— POLYGAM.-^QU. Hieracium. 



Our plant is certainly that of Linnaeus, and apparently of DeCan- 

 doUe. It accords well with Gouan's plate, but not with that of 

 Villars, nor with specimens from Dauphiny, which yet may pos- 

 sibly be but varieties of the same species.

On moist alpine rocks. 



On Ben Nevis. Mr. Dickson. Ben Lawers, and other Scottish 

 mountains. Mr.J.Mackaij. On rocks near Loch Caliater, north 

 of Clova. Mr. T. Drummond. A wild specimen of Mr. Drum- 

 mond's, for which 1 am obliged to Mr. W. Robertson of New- 

 castle, answers sufficiently well to Engl. Bot. t.2379, and is un- 

 doubtedly the H. villosum of Linnaeus and Jacquin. The stem 

 is 15 inches high, leafy j branched in the upper part, bearing 

 5 large, lemon. coloured ^OM;er.?, with several scattered, ovate, 

 pointed bracteas ; the whole of the herbage extremely hairy, 

 or shaggy. It agrees precisely with specimens from Jacquin, 

 and with Swiss ones of Haller's n. 44 ; the number of flowers 

 varying from 1 to 5. Near Meer Gill, at the foot of Ingle- 

 borough, Yorkshire ; Mr. Caley. Withering. 



Perennial. August. 



Root woody, with several fibres. Ste7n upright, a foot or more in 

 height, round, striated, hollow, leafy, unbranched, often quite 

 simple and single-flowered, but not unfrequently divided at the 

 summit, and bearing 2 or more /lowers which are very large, 

 near 2 inches wide when fully expanded, lemon-coloured. Leaves 

 ellij)tic.oblong, acute, wavy, with .shallow unequal teeth, a little 

 glaucous, and, like the stem and calyx, remarkable for their
