 blunt, narrowed to the shagg)' leaf-stalk, toothed, 

 stiffly hairy on the surfaces and margins. The 

 2-3 stem-leaves are elliptic, or the upper egg- 

 shaped, toothed like the basal. The panicle has 

 1-2 erect to spreading lower branches, the upper 

 in a sort of umbel. The 4-S heads are broadly 

 egg-shaped, blunt below. The flower-stalks are 

 nearly straight, w-oolly-felted, glandular. The 

 phyllaries are linear, lance-shaped, blunt, the 

 inner narrow, acute, with a pale border, thickly

 rounded above or blunt-pointed, narrowed to the 

 stiffly hairy leaf-stalk, toothed, hairy both sides 

 and on the border. The 3-10 stem-leaves are 

 stalkless or nearly so, like the inner basal, the 

 intermediate egg-shaped to lance-shaped, the 

 uppermost egg-shaped, toothed. The panicle is 

 rigid, in a sort of corymb, the lower branches 

 long, nearly erect, in a corymb, the upper shorter, 

 arching, longer than the acladium. The stalks 

 are woolly-felled, glandular, hairy. The few 

 heads are dark, cylindric, blunt below. The outer 

 phyllaries are short, loose, woolly-felted at the 

 border, the inner linear, lance-shaped, narrowed 

 above, with a pale margin, the innermost near'y 

 acute, hairy, glandular. The tips of the ligules 

 are fringed with hairs. The styles are livid. The 

 plant is \-2 ft. high, flowering in July and August,

 plant is rocks. The stem is stout, erect, rigid, 

 hairy below, woolly-felted above. The radical 

 leaves are green, hairless above, pale bluish-green,

 shaped, with a long, narrow point, one-third clasp- 

 ing, toothed. The panicle is a corymb, !eaf\' below, 

 with nearly erect branches, the upper ascending, 

 bent inwards, longer than the acladium. The 

 flower-stalks are woolly-felted, hairy, glandular. 

 The heads are large, few, blunt below. The 

 phyllaries are broad, long-pointed, blunt, the inner- 

 most acute, dark-green, with a pale border, woolly- 

 felted below, glandular, senescent. The ligules

 dull brownish-green. The plant is 15-24 in. high. 



Hieracium zetlandicuni^ Beeby. — The habitat of 

 this species is pastures and sheltered rocks. The 

 stem is simple or branched, hairv below, woolly-

 form a rosette, the earlier arc small, oblong to 

 elliptic, the later oval to elliptic, rounded, nearly 

 acute above, toothed, wedge-shaped below, 

 olive-green or tinged with purple, paler, stiffly 

 hairy below and on the borders. The 2-3 stem- 

 leaves are nearly stalkless, like the inner basal. 

 The panicle is close, in a sort of corj-mb.
