304 THE DAISY FAMILY. 



rye-grass. Its first appearance seems to have been in 1847, when it 

 sprang up abundantly in a field near the Dog-house Farm, Withing- 

 ton, and in one or two other fields at the Withington end of Hough- 

 End Clough. The following year it shewed itself among rye-grass at 

 Eccles, and though not since noticed at the latter place, has been 

 seen, somewhere or other, nearly every summer subsequently. It 

 should be looked for in clover-fields, as well as among crops of rye- 

 grass. Fl. June, July. Annual. 



E. B., Supp. iv. 2945. 



Some botanists distinguish this and one or two other species of Crepis under 

 the generic name of Borkhausia, because of the distinct and slender beak of the 

 acheuium ; the C. vlrens, the C paludosa, &c., having it contracted at the top, 

 and mthout a distinct beak. 



14. MouSE-EAB Hawkweed — [Hierdcium Pilosella.) 

 Dry hedgebanks, delighting in the most sunny and drouthy situa- 

 tions, where it can bask in the noontide ray, common. Very abundant 

 about Alderley. Fl. May — July. 



Curtis, ii. 274 ; E. B. xvi. 1093. 



Immediately distinguished from all our other composites by its long, hairy 

 procumbent shoots, and the pale lemon-colour of the solitary blossoms, which, in 

 favourable seasons, and when in perfection, have the smell of raspberry jam. No 

 hotness of sunshine ever seems to make this little heaven-gazer thirsty. 



15. Wall Haavkweed — {Hierdcium murdrum.) 



On rocky ground, and walls slightly covered with crumbling earth, 

 rare. Marple, and about Lymm. Fl. June. 

 E. B. xxix. 2083. 



16. Wood Hawkweed — [Hierdcium sylvdticum.) 



On banks, old park walls, and in dry woods, especially where rocky, 

 and the soil is shallow. Plentiful at Broadbottom. Fl. August. 



E.B. xxix. 2031. 

 The leaves are often beautifully spotted and blotched with purple. 



17. Shrubby Autumnal Hawkweed — [Hierdcium Sahahdum.) 



Dry hedgebanks, and on dry ground in thickets, woods, and groves, 



plentiful everywhere. Abundant about Burnage and Fallowfield. 



Fl. August — October. 



E. B. V. 349.
