Locality. Pastures, especially on a gravelly soil. P. Fi. July, 
September. Area, 1.2. 3.4.5. In all the Districts. Locally common, 
but not general. Root, preemorse. Leaves variable as to toothing, 
sometimes runcinate. JYowers drooping in bud. This greatly 
resembles Apargia hispida but it is a much smaller plant, and is 
readily distinguished from that, by its nearly smooth calyx, and 
the want of feathery pappus to the outer row of seeds. 
Apareia, (Scures.) Hawxsirt. 
Linn. Cl. xix. Ord. i.

the broader forms more deeply divided. The fruit is also destitute 
of the long beak, with which that of H. radicuta is furnished.
