Sydero: Karagjov near Kvalbo (,H. G. Simmons). In flower on 

 August 7. 1895. 



This form comes fairly near H. constrictiforme, and forms allied 

 to it, in several points, such as the shape of the leaf and the cloth- 

 ing of the involucres, but can scarcely be closely related to them: it 

 should rather be referred to Cerinthoidea , as indicated by the nu- 

 merous long and finely-toothed hairs and the enlarged and half- 

 clasping base of the stem-leaf. It belongs to the least typical forms 

 of this group, and it should, I think, be placed under a pos- 

 sible sub-group of Vulgata, which is widely developed in the Bri- 

 tish Isles. It is easily distinguished from H. constrictiforme by its 

 shorter growth , its more numerous and longer hairs at the base 

 of the leaf and the lower part of the stem, its enlarged base of leaf, 

 and by its phyllaries, rapidly attenuate towards the top, and less 

 distinctly floccose at the margin, but somewhat denser on the back.
