" Stem 3 feet high, erect, round, striated, roughish, spongy, and solid, 

 scarcely iistulose within" (Sm.). I have never seen a specimen of 

 this, and therefore quote Smith's characters. It is the H. prcenan- 

 thoides of Fl. Brit. ; not of Compendium, ed. 3. p. 1 19. 



10. H. molle (soft -leaved Hawkweed), stem panicled fistulose, 

 leaves lanceolate obsoletely toothed semiarnplexicaul, lower 

 ones petiolate very obtuse. E. B. t, 2210. H. succiscefolhany 

 Decand. and Seringe. 



Haq. Woods in the south of Scotland, Dickson. Among bushes in 

 meadows N. of Forfar, G. Don. Lower fall of the Tummel, Glen 

 Luss, Mr. Borrcr. Fl. July, Aug. 7/ . 



I have never seen British specimens of this ; but my Swiss ones pre- 

 cisely accord witli the figure in E. B. The plant is about one foot 

 high, remarkable for the obtuse radical leaves, which taper gra- 

 dually into a long footstalk. Scales of the involucre with i}. few black 

 glandular hairs. 



11. H. paludosum {Succory-leaved Hawkwecd), s;\iihro\\s, stem 

 panicled fistulose, leaves ovato- oblong acute toothed embracing 

 the stem with their heart-.shaped base, scales of the involucre 

 with black hairs or bristles. Light/, /j.538. E. B. t. 1091. 



Hab. Sides of rivers and in wet and rocky places^ abundant. Fl. Aug. 



^- 

 O.ie foot to two feet high. Readily known by the absence of all pu- 

 bescence, the very amplexicaul leaves, and their spreading or de- 

 flexed teeth, together with the cal., which has longish, quite black 

 hairs. 



12. H. cerinthoides {Honey -ivort-leaved Hawkiueed), stem co- 

 rymbose hairv above, leaves hairy very slightly toothed radical 

 ones oblongo-obovate petiolate cauline ones oblong semiam- 

 plexicau), involucre hairy. E. B. t. 237S. 



Hab. Rocks near the head of Clova, G. Don. 

 One to one foot and a half high, rather stout. 



13. H. amplexkmde {amplexicaul Hawkweed), glauduloso-

 ovate petiolate, cauline ones cordate at the base ajnjjlexicaul.

Hab. Walls of the castle of Cleish, Kinross-shire, Mr. Arnott. Mr. 

 Borrer possesses specimens from G. Don, gathered on the Clova 

 mountains. Fl. Aug. 11 . 



This interesting addition to the British Flora has many points in com- 

 mon with ihe last species, but is every where covered with brown- 

 ish glandular hairs, most thickly on the peduncles and involucre. 

 Tlie lower cauline leaves are more or less oblong, the upper ones 

 truly cordate. 



14. H. prcenanihoides {rough-lordered Hawkweed), " stem 

 erect many- flowered, leaves amplexicaul somewhat toothed 

 rough at the margin lower ones oblong, peduncles downv," 

 Sm, E.B.t. 2235.
