 stalk. The 2-3 stem-leaves are like the inner basal 

 leaves, stiffly hairy below and on the border. 

 The panicle is falsely forked, the branches alter- 

 nate, curved, longer than the acladium. The 2-5 

 heads are egg-shaped. The flower-stalks are 

 long, woolly-felted, glandular, hairy. The phyl- 

 laries are short, broad, blunt, woolly-felted, senes- 

 cent, narrowed above, glandular, hairy. The 

 teeth of the ligule are hairless or downy. The

ater narrow, egg-shaped to oblong, acute, nar- 

 rowed both ends, running down the leaf-stalk, 

 entire, scalloped, toothed, stiffly hairy below and 

 on the border. The stem-leaf is stalked like the 

 basal, toothed. The panicle is small, close, falsely 

 "orked, with rather erect branches. The few heads 

 are egg-shaped to inversely conical. The stalks 

 are straight, long, woolly-felted, glandular, hairy.

 are tipped with stiff hairs. The styles are livid. 

 The plant is 12-18 in. high, flowering in July and 

 August, and is a herbaceous perennial. 



Hieracium cezsiomurorum, Lindeb. The habi- 

 tat of this plant is sub-alpine glens. The stem is

 lar above. The radical leaves are dull deep-green, 

 bluish-green, with prominent veins below, mem- 

 branous, the outer withering early, oval, blunt- 

 pointed, toothed, the intermediate egg-shaped, 

 lance-shaped, wedge-shaped below, toothed, the 

 innermost narrower, the point triangular, the base 

 narrow, toothed, nearly smooth below, stiffly hairy 

 below on the nerves, the margins fringed with 

 hairs. The 2-3 stem-leaves have stalks (the lower) 

 like the inner basal, the upper stalkless, toothed. 

 The panicle bears few flowers, with 2-3 erect 

 branches, the upper close, bent in, longer than the 

 acladium. The flower -stalks are straight or 

 curved above, woolly -felted, glandular, stiffly 

 hairy. The heads are short, medium, rounded 

 below. The phyllaries are awl-like, blunt, the 

 inner acute, woolly-felted at the edge, senescent, 

 glandular, hairy. The ligules are hairless. The 

 styles are dull or livid. The margins of the 

 receptacle pits are toothed. The plant is i 2j ft. 

 high, flowering from June to August, and is a 

 herbaceous perennial. 



Hieracium duplicatum, Almq. The stem of this 

 species is tall, slender, wavy, stiffly hairy, glandu- 

 lar above. The radical leaves are dull -green, 

 with brown to purple blotches, 3-4, forming a 

 rosette, on long stalks, egg-shaped to oval, oblong, 

 blunt, toothed, the base egg-shaped or wedge- 

 shaped, toothed, the inner lance-shaped to elliptic, 

 narrow, toothed, stiffly hairy, woolly-felted below.
