This form is more particularly distinguished by its broad radi- 

 cal leaves, short-toothed or almost entire, of which the inner ones, 

 as well as the large, petiolate, lower stem-leaf, have a decidedly cordate 

 hase, by its densely floccose peduncles, and the distinctly variegated 

 involucres, the phyllaries of which have a broad floccose margin, 

 and which are, moreover, plentifully covered with short, coarse hairs. 

 The stem -leaves are usually two in numher, but occasionally a 

 single stem-leaf occurs, in the former case the lower one often con- 

 stitutes a part of the rosette, or is at least situated very closely 

 to it. The upper stem-leaf is rather small, acute, and of an ovate 

 form. sometimes with a more or less distinctly cordate hase, when 

 it is often furnished with a petiole, which is, however, small. It 

 has often a very characteristic appearance on account of the long, 

 narrow teeth at its hase, and the strongly waved and folded upper 

 margin. The appearance, and several of the characters of this 

 form, and especially of the one from Ostero, which has the base 

 of the basal leaves more decurrent , and stem-leaf more elongated, 

 remind one considerably of H. holopleumm Dahlst. as well as of 

 H. holopleuroides Dahlst., both of which are natives of Iceland. It
