360 SYNGENESIA— POLYGAM.-.EQU. Hieracium, 



hollow in the centre, seldom quite leafless^ branched in a 

 corymbose manner, and bearing from 4 to 6 large yeWow Jlow- 

 ers, on glandular and hairy blackish stalks. Bracteas few, scat- 

 tered, awl-shaped or linear, hairy. Leaves on long hairy foot - 

 stalksy broadly ovate, somewhat heart-shaped, variously hairy, 

 wavy, more or less toothed about the base, their teeth radiant, 

 or spreading every way, the lowermost pointing backward, and 

 in (3 remarkably elongated or dilated j the upper surface of an 

 elegant, opaque, rather glaucous green ; under paler, often pur- 

 plish, but the leaves are never stained with black ; they are nu- 

 merous, and for the most part radical, one only, much toothed, 

 being situated about the middle of the stem, sometimes lower 

 down. Cal. rough with short, black, glandular hairs. Recept. 

 convex, toothed. 

 The stein in this species is not more copiously leafy than in some, 

 native or exotic ones, of the former section, but with them it has 

 no natural affinity, and is therefore placed with those to which it 

 is most nearly allied. 



7. H. maculatimi. Stained-leaved Hawkweed. 



Stem cymose, many leaved, tubular. Leaves ovate-lanceo- 

 late, strongly toothed ; teeth pointing forward.

H. Pulmonaria dictum angustifolium. Richardson and Dill, in Rati 

 Syn. 1 68 ; but not the original plant of Ray, Gerarde, and Lobel, 

 which Dr. Lamb of Newbury proved to be Cineraria integrifo- 

 lia; and this remarkable fact the old figure of the two last- 

 mentioned authors, copied by Petiver, t. 13./. 5, confirms. Yet 

 Lobel's figure, Ic. 587. /.I, is still quoted by some authors for 

 H. sylvaticum. 



On the mountains of Wales, Westmoreland, and Scotland. 



Near the lake Lhyn y cwni, not far from the church of Llanberis, 

 North Wales. Dr. Richardson, according to his herbarium. On 

 Breidden hill, Montgomeryshire. Mr. Bowman. Brought from 

 Westmoreland, in 1781, by Mr. Crowe, in the site of whose 

 garden at Norwich, and that neighbourhood, the plant is now 

 naturalized, as well as on several old walls about the cathedral. 



Perennial. June — September. 



The great difficulty of the subject, and the many errors of the most 

 able botanists, will I hope plead my excuse for having at any 

 time confounded this very distinct species with the preceding or 

 the following. Though variable in height, from 1 foot, as in Mr. 

 Bowman's specimen, to 2 or 3 on our walls, it has always a
