Habitu H. pvlmonarioidis Vill. v. H. petraei Hoppe, sed difiert foliis subcrassioribus 

 subglaucescentibus v. canescentibus, pilis albidis manifeste denticulatis v. subplumosis obsitis, 

 minus dense glandulosis, involucris praeter glandulas pilis longis simplicibus obsitis. Ergo 

 H. pedemontanum Burnat et Gremli primum transitum inter H. amplexicauU L. et H lanatum 

 Vill. esse ad interim opinionem Iiabeo. Huc pertinet etiam H. plumifertim N. P. H p. 322.
