with minute black glandular hairs. Involucre thickly clothed ail 

 over with dingy coloured or fulvous long silky hairs, which admira- 

 bly distinguishes this species. Flowers always solitary, large, deep 

 yellow. 



2. H. Halleri {Hallerian Hawkweed) , scape 1- flowered with 

 one or rarely two leaves hairy, as well as the spathulato-ian- 

 ceolate toothed leaves", involucre with rather long silky hairs 

 principally near the margins of the scales. Decand. Fl. 

 Gall. p. 258. H. pumitum, JVilld. {according to Seringe). 

 H. villosum, E. B. ^. '2379 (garden specimen), but surely not 

 of Linn.

 Killin, Mr. Turner and Hook. Fl. Aug. 1/ . 



Much like the last„for which I mistook it myself when I gathered it on 

 Ben-y-More ; but on comparing numerous specimens of the two I 

 am disposed to keep them distinct. The present is rather the tall- 

 er- of the two, and stouter 3 there is always one leaf at least upon 

 the scape ; the leaves are toothed, and the involucre has the back of 

 the scales almost entirely destitute of those long, beautiful, silky hairs 

 which are. so characteristic of H. alp. — I have never seen either of 

 these two species with more than one flov/er. Both are abundant 

 in Switzerland, and retain the characters above given to them. 



3. H. Pilosella {Mouse-ear Hawkiveed), scape one-flowered 

 naked, leaves entire eliiptico-lanceolate hairv downy beneath, 

 scions creeping. Light/. p. 436. E. B. t. 1093. 



Hab. Banks and dry pastures, common. Fl. June. 1/ . 



Distinguished at all times by the creeping scions 3 the leaves, which arc 

 downy beneath, and scattered all over, especially at the margin, 

 with long rather rigid hairs ; and the pale yellow colour oiihe flow- 

 ers. Scape more or less downy, and with glandular scattered hairs, 



** Scape naked (or rarely vnth a single leaf), many-Jlowered. 



4. H. duhium [branching Mouse-ear Hoivkweed), scape many- 

 flowered naked (or with one small leaf), leaves entire eliiptico- 

 lanceolate with only a few scattered hairs^ scions creeping, 

 E.B.t.23S2. 



Hab. Scotland, Mr. G. Don, and received from that country at the 

 Cambridge Bot. Garden. Sm. in E. B. Fl. July, Aug. 1/. 



Taller and slenderer than the last, with smaller flowers, from 3 — 5, at 

 the extremity of the scape, on longish footstalks, which as well as 

 the upper part of the scape are pubescent and subglandular. Leaves 

 sometimes almost glabrous, often hairy, especially towards the base 

 and on the edges. Can the //. Auricula of Smith be a var. of this ? 



5. H. auraniiacurn (orange- coloured Hawkweed) , scape nearly 

 naked simple hairy bearing a corymb of many flowers, leaves 

 obovato-lanceolate entire rough with longish hairs. E. B. 

 t. 1469.
