One of the handsomest and best defined Færoese forms. Cha- 

 racterized by its large radical leaves, the petioles of which are long 

 and usually broad, and by the inner leaves, which down to their 

 base and on their petioles are plentifully, deeply and usually irregularly 

 toothed , the teeth or lobes being long and curved , by its broadly 

 clasping leaves of the same type as in H. cerinthoides or H. anglicum 

 and in other typical forms of the group, its large, dark involucres, 

 and wide inllorescence. The stem is usually coarse, varying from 

 single and one-headed to dichotomous and few-headed, with sorae- 

 what spreading and curved branches; occasionally branches are de- 

 veloped right from the base. It belongs to the typical forms of the 

 group Cerinthoidea and has several closely related forms in Great 

 Britain. It is also undoubtedly very closely related to the forms below.
