cept the calyx, which is more or less downy, and glandular. Root 

 tapering, rnilky like the rest of the plant. Stem from 1 to 2 feet 

 high, leafy, upright, branched, furrowed, sometimes slightly 

 hairy, always stained with purple near the ramifications. Leaves 

 smooth^ variously runcinate^ or jagged, the upper ones dilated 

 and clasping at the base, where also they are most toothed. 

 Panicle slender, lax, corymbose, roughish, with awl-shaped 

 bracteas. Fl. bright yellow, much smaller than those of any 

 other common plant of this tribe, except Lapsana. Outer, as 

 well as inner, calyx glandular, and rough ; the former of several 

 membranous, withering, but scarcely deciduous, scales ; the 

 latter not much altered after flowering. Seedn furrowed. Down 

 rough, sessile, like the last. Recept. with shallow rough-edged

Biennial. June, July. 



Root spindle-shaped. Stem 3 or 4 feet high, erect, stout, hollow, 

 leafy, corymbose, very strongly furrowed ; roughish above ; 

 purplish below. Radical leaves stalked, obovate, unequally 

 toothed 3 those about the lower part of the stem pinnatifid, or 

 runcinate, likewise on purplish stalks; uppermost sessile, clasp- 

 ing, more deeply pinnatifid, their lobes strongly toothed in 

 front, the terminal one large ; all rough with bristly hairs, espe- 

 cially the mid-rib beneath. Fl. large, lemon-coloured, reddish 

 underneath, on furrowed stalks, with linear bracteas. Outer 

 calyx of lax, partly membranous, scales ; inner of longer and 

 more downy ones, often glandular and bristly, at first flat, but 

 subsequently acquiring a stout, or turgid, mid-rib, like every 

 true Crepis. Seeds striated, crenate, beaked. Dotvn roughish, 

 sessile on the summit of the beak, so as to appear almost stalked. 

 Recept. with fringed cells. 



/3 is a very trifling variety, of somewhat humbler growth.
