Hab. Brought from Scotland by Mr. Dickson. Banks of tlie Ksk, 

 near the farm called the Cairn, near Forfar, G. Don. Near Pit- 

 main, Mr. M'Kay. Fl. Aug. 1/ . 



" Differs from H. denticulatinn , with which it was confounded in 

 Fl. Brit., in having the leaves embrace the stem by their rounded 

 dilated base, and in their roughness near the edge, which there 

 forms a bristly border. These marks are enough to distinguish 

 them." Sm. in E. B. 



15. H. salaudum [shrully Haivkueed), " stem erect many- 

 flowered, leaves ovato-Ianceolate dentate -serrate half em- 

 bracing the stem hairy beneath, the lower ones elliptico-lan- 

 ceolate," Sm. Lightf. p. 4;J9. E. B. t. 349. 



Hab. Woods and rough stony places, Lightf. Sides of rivers, fre- 

 quent, about Glasg., Hopk. Fl. Aug., Sept. 1/ . 

 *' Two to three feet high, somewhat shrubby, rough, rigid." Sm. 



16. H. umbellatum {narrow -ieaued Hawkiveed), stem erect 

 simple very leafy, leaves linear lanceolate subglabrous slightly 

 toothed, flowers subumbellute, peduncles downy, involucres 

 glabrous. Lighlf.p.439. E.B.t.Mll. 



Hab. Rough stony places, but not very common. King's Scat at 

 Dunkeld, Lightf. Fl. Aug., Sept. % . 



The most decidedly marked perhaps of any individual in this most 

 difficult genus. — Scotland produces every British species, except 

 the doubtful H. auricula : it is then to the botanists of this country, 

 who live, as it were among them, that a more satisfactory history 

 of these plants should be looked for. 



9. CREPIS. 



1. C. pulchra {small-Jiowered Hawk's-beard), " leaves pubes- 

 cent toothed those on the stem subsagittate, stem panicled 

 corymbose, involucre pyramidal glabrous," Sni. E.B.t. 2325. 

 Prenanthes pulc/i., Decand. 



Hab. Crumbling rocks on the hill of Turin, near Forfar, Mr. G. Don. 

 Fl. June, Sept. O . 



Radical leaves obovate, toothed, tapering downward ; cauline ones 

 very few, small, clasping the stem with their toothed bases." — Sir 

 J. E. Smith observes that the scales of the involucre are not deci- 

 duous, nor does the involucre itself satisfactorily accord with the 

 genus. Hence DecandoUe has placed it in that of Prf^nanthes. 



2. C. tectonnn (smooth Haivk's-beard), leaves glabrous runci- 

 nate, the upper ones linear-sagittate amplexicaul, stem gla- 

 brous, panicle subcorynibose, involucre pubescent. Lightf. 

 p. 440. E.B.t. WW. 



Hab. Meadows, pastures, and upon turfed and thatched cottages. 



Fl. July, Aug. O . 

 Stems 1 — 3 feet high. Radical leaves more or less pinnatifid or riin- 



cinate; their teeth or segments often horizontal, sometimes curred 



up\yArds. Flowers small, yellow.
