This form, which somewhat reminds one of the preceding in 

 the clothing of its involucres, is easily distinguishable by its short, 

 slender, and sparsely leafy stem, by having few, ovale-lanceolate — 

 lanceolate, few-toothed radical leaves with short petioles, by its lan- 

 ceolate, sometimes somewhat rhomboidal to linear-lanceolate, sessile 

 stem-leaves, with few and short teeth, by its long and somewhat 

 still, sparsely distributed to fairly densely grown hairs on stem 

 and leaves, by its small, dark involucres, with fairly numerous, 

 somewhat stiff, and patent hairs, among which a few hardly con- 

 spicuous glands occur dispersed, by the stellate hairs of its phyl- 

 laries, occurring sparingly at the margins and growing denser to- 

 wards the tops; and, lastly, by its pure, yellow style. As regards 

 the involucres and the colour of the style il is extremely like 

 //. cpilcucoides, which is, however, easily distinguished from it by 

 its larger involucres with broadly obtuse phyllaries, its more leafy 

 stem (the leaves narrow, lanceolate, only slightly toolhed and fur- 

 nished with small, pointed teeth) and its fewer and narrower radi- 

 cal leaves.
