leaty. Stalk radical, erect, naked, somewhat hairy, with scat- 

 tered hairs, its height scarcely six inches. Leaves lanceolate, 

 nearly entire, acute, naked. FL panicled, from 3 to 6, yellow. 

 Calyx-leaves linear, hairy." 

 As Mr. Hudson knew, and lias clearly described, H. duhium, we 

 cannot but presume his H. Auricula to have been something 

 different. He quotes Haller's n. 52, with synonyms of Columna 

 and C. Bauhin copied from that author, but these do not agree 

 so well with the Linnasan plant as the above description, which, 

 except the " naked leaves," answers perfectly to the true H. Au- 

 ricula, figured, from foreign dried specimens, in Engl. Bot. This 

 cannot be mistaken if it should ever be met witli in Britain, it 

 is a native of very lofty mountains, near the glaciers of Switzer- 

 land and Savoy, and is most assuredly no variety of H. duhium. 

 The leaves are green on both sides, more or less hairy, truly lan- 

 ceolate and acute ; the scions short ; Jiower-stalk clothed with 

 white down, intermixed with black glandular hairs ; partial 

 stalks more densely downy, with a few scattered, hairy, awl- 

 shaped bracteas. Cal. more or less clothed with long, black and 

 tavvnv, shaggy hairs. Cor. full yellow, inclining to orange. 



5. H. aurantiaciim. Orange Hawkweed. 



Leaves elliptical, acute, entire. Stalk almost leafless, hairy, 

 densely corymbose, many-flowered. Calyx shaggy.

Root slightly creeping, with many long stout fibres, sending forth

 entire, except in very luxuriant specimens like the figure of 

 Jacquin ; rough with short hairs on both sides, especially the 

 mid-rib 3 bright green above; slightly glaucous underneath 3 ta-
