beak and with more numerous ribs, the pappus projecting less 

 beyond the phyllaries than in C. taraxacifolia. 



Prom large forms of C, virens, the roughly hairy leaves and 

 stem, and the stem-leaves not sagittate at the base, are sufficient 

 to distinguish it at first sight ; the anthodes are twice as large, the 

 achenes are much longer and narrower, and with more numerous 

 ribs, and the pappus projects further beyond the phyllaries. 



In the first edition of " English Botany," No. 149, the fruit of 

 C. taraxacifolia has been placed on the plate which contains a very 

 characteristic figure of C. biennis.

 adpressed. Achenes not beaked, fusiform - cylindric, attenuated 

 towards the apex, with 20 ribs. Pappus of pure-white soft hairs,
