Near Vestmanshavn and Trangisvaag forms have been met with which 

 have leaves more elongated, and fewer-toothed; and involucres and pe- 

 duncles less hairy E. Warming). 



Flowering and fruiting in the middle of August 1895, and from the 

 end of July to the middle of August 1897. 



Distinguished by its vigorous grovvth and hairy stem, its broad, 

 sharply toothed leaves with coarse hairs, its elongated and spreading 

 inflorescence, its large, dark glaucous involucres with a fewglandular 

 hairs, and slightly floccose, and its large, rather radiating llowers of 

 pale yellow colour. H. veterascens does not belong to the typical 

 Cerinthoidea , but to the northern group of forms mentioned above 

 which is richly represented in the British Isles and resembles the 

 Cæs/a-group of Vulgata in habit. In the present species the pe- 

 tioles of the stem-leaves are less perfectly clasping and the denta- 

 tion and the form of the leaves remind one of Vulgata: the large 

 coarse involucres, howewer, the wide inflorescence, and above all the 

 numerous distinctly toothed, long hairs on leaf and stem, and the 

 stift, coarse hairs on the inflorescence distinctly assign this form to 

 a place among the Cerinthoidea. It is unquestionably very closely 

 allied to //. arctocerinthe Dahlst., and H. mesopolinm Dahlst. from 

 Iceland.
