Sydero: Frodebo, on a »hammer« (J. Hartz and C. Ostenfeld). In full 

 flower on July 19, 1897. 



This form comes very near the preceding, to which it bears a 

 great likeness as regards the clothing of the involucres. It is, how- 

 ever, easily distinguished from it by the more irregularly and 

 coarsely toothed leaves, and by the inner radical leaves at the 

 somewhat attenuate base being slightly cordate, with reflexed teeth. 

 Besides, the hairs are everywhere shorter, stiller, and more di- 

 stinctly toothed, and the involucres less densely floccose. Usually 

 there occurs at the margin of the outer phyllaries a narrow, but 

 occasionally interrupted stripe, which becomes somewhat more 

 dark-red towards the top which terminates in a thick tuft of small 

 hairs. On the edges of the middle and inner phyllaries the hairs 

 are either quite wanting or more or less indistinct towards the top. 

 The phyllaries are, in contradistinction to those of the preceding 

 form, somewhat attenuated into a narrow, obtuse, or shorter, s harp 

 point. The present form comes, however, so near to the preceding 

 one that it oughl perhaps more properly to be regarded as a variety 

 of it. But as I have not met with any intermediate forms, and I 

 do not know anything about their relation to each other in nature, 

 I think, for the present, they may most conveniently be recorded 

 under different names.
