208 ENGLISH BOTANY. 



reduced merely to callous points, sub-glabrous above, pale and 

 slightly glaucous beneath, with the network formed by the ultimate 

 veins indistinct, sparingly hairy on the veins and margins with 

 the hairs rather stout and moderately long. Anthodes rather 

 large, numerous or few, in a corymb or short panicle terminated 

 by a corymb, with rather slender spreading-ascending peduncles 

 generally furnished with a few minute bracts which usually do 

 not pass gradually into the outer phyllaries. Pericline hemi- 

 spherical at the base ; phyllaries numerous, very obtuse, the inner 

 ones broader than the others, dark-olive with paler margins ; all 

 sparingly clothed, especially along the middle line, with short 

 black-based whitish hairs rarely intermixed with gland-tipped 

 ones, sometimes finely and very shortly ciliated towards the apex 

 when young. Ligules glabrous, not ciliated at the apex. Styles 

 yellow. Achenes chestnut.

England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Autumn. 



Very closely allied to H. corymbosum, but a smaller plant, 

 usually 1 to 3 feet high, with the stem more hairy in the lower 

 half; the leaves narrower and more parallel-sided, more amplexi- 

 caul, less strongly toothed, with the reticulation less evident below. 

 The hairs are stronger and more numerous than in H. corymbosum ; 

 the anthodes larger, fewer, and not in a large compound corymb ; 

 the phyllaries less attenuated towards the apex, sooner becoming 

 glabrous at the margins ; the styles less livid ; the achenes paler ; 

 and the pappus less tinged with brown.

Stem very leafy, corymbosely or paniculato - corymbosely 

 branched at the apex, sub-glabrous or with scattered woolly 

 hairs ; peduncles sparingly clothed with stellate down intermingled 

 with black-based hairs, but with few or no gland-tipped hairs. 

 Leaves distributed over the whole stem, the lower ones oblanceo-
