Stromo: »hammer« at Sjov (J. Hartz and C. Ostenfeld). In flower 

 on July 31, 1897. 



This form is distinguished by its slender, high stem, with the 

 lower leaves closely approximate, lanceolate, and upper ones widely 

 dispersed, lanceolate-linear, acute, with a few indistinct teeth. The 

 involucres are rather large and coarse, with broad, generally obtuse 

 and often broadly obtuse phyllaries, of which the outer and middle 

 ones are slightly floccose at the margins, but have usually a broad, 

 continuous floccose stripe towards the tops, while the inner ones are 

 generally naked. The hairiness differs greatly not only on the dif- 

 ferent involucres, but often on the different sides and on the different 

 phyllaries of one and the same involucre. Hairs are few on the 

 latter, and glands are almost wanting. On the peduncles and in the 

 lower part of the stem the hairs are rather numerous, stiff and 

 moderately long. This form is distinguished from the one men- 

 tioned below by coarser heads, and bj' being more hairy in all its 

 parts; and from the one mentioned above by its narrower leaves, 

 faintly toothed, and more numerous hairs, and by the absence of 

 glandular hairs on the inflorescence.
