Perennial. August. 



Root abrupt, blackish, with many long, simple, lateral fibres. 

 Leaves radical, smooth, erect, either lanceolate and almost li- 

 near, or spatulate and obovate ; their teeth unequal, pointing 

 backward ; the base tapering. SUilk.s one or more, erect or as- 

 cending, from 3 to 6 inches high, swelling and very hairy at the 

 top, mostly simple and single- dowered, but now and then di- 

 vided, ^rac^ff/i- few or none, scattered, linear, smooth. Cat. 

 clothed with long, black or greyish, soft, shaggy hairs. Cor. 

 bright yellow, twice the breadth of the calyx, the teeth (not feet, 

 as is carelessly printed in the Cijclop.) of the Jlorets brownish. 

 Seeds oblong, angular, rough. Down uniform, sessile, conspi- 

 cuously feathery, so that the plant ought never to have been 

 taken for a Hieracium , nor is there any reason to suppose it a 

 mule, as Dr. Solander, by the only specimen he ga'hered in 

 Lapland, in 1753, was induced to believe, and to persuade Lin- 

 naeus.
