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

 laries are dark, broad below, narrowed, acute, 

 sparingly woolly-felted, glandular, hairy. The 

 ligules are pale-yellow, smooth. The styles are 

 rather livid. The plant is 10-16 in. in height, 

 flowering in July and August, and is a herbaceous 

 perennial. 



Hieracium maculatum, Sm. The habitat of 

 this plant is woods, banks, walls, &c. The stem

 The radical leaves are green, with dark -purple 

 blotches, egg-shaped to lance- shaped, acutely 

 toothed, stiffly hairy both sides and on the border. 

 The leaf-stalks are shaggy. The stem -leaves, 

 3-5, are nearly stalkless, large like the basal. 

 The panicle is a compound corymb, the upper 

 branches corymbose, longer than the acladium. 

 The stalks have 3 bristle-like bracts, woolly-felted, 

 glandular. The 4-10 heads are egg-shaped, long. 

 The phyllaries are lance-shaped, linear, the inner 

 narrow, woolly - felted, glandular, hairy. The 

 ligules are orange, smooth. The styles are livid. 



Hieracium scantcum, Dahlst. This species is 

 closely allied to H. irriguum, Fr., from which it 

 differs in the long white hairs of the stem, the 

 broader, oval, subentire, or less-toothed leaves, the 

 rather thicker heads, narrower phyllaries, and 

 styles more nearly pure yellow. 



Hieracium irriguum, Fr. The stem of this 

 plant is tall, wavy, rigid, stiffly hairy, woolly- 

 felted, glandular above. The radical leaves are 

 green, with violet markings, the outer soon fading, 

 oval, blunt, toothed, the inner oblong to broadly 

 lance-shaped, toothed, wedge-shaped below, stiffly 

 hairy below, the margins fringed with hairs. The 

 2-5 stem-leaves are smaller above, lance-shaped, 

 rhomboid, acute, toothed. The panicle has the 

 lower branches distant, erect to spreading, the 

 upper close, spreading to arching. The stalks 

 are woolly-felted, glandular, hairy. The heads 

 are small, slender, dark, egg-shaped or inversely 

 conical. The phyllaries are long to triangular, 

 lance-shaped, blunt, the inner lance-shaped, acute, 

 the tips coloured, glandular, hairy. The ligules 

 are hairless. The styles turn colour. 



Hieracium sciaphilum, Becker. The habitat of 

 this plant is woods, rocks, and banks. The stem 

 is branched, tall, stiffly hairy below, woolly-felted, 

 glandular above. The radical leaves are dull-

green, broad to egg-shaped, lance-shaped, oblong, 

 acutely toothed, narrow below, limp, stiffly hairy 

 below. The stem-leaves are numerous, like the 

 nner basal leaves. The panicle is a loose corymb, 

 the branches erect to spreading, in a raceme or 

 corymb. The heads are 3 to numerous, large, 

 rounded to egg-shaped. The flower-stalks are 

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

 laries are lance-shaped to linear, blunt, the inner 

 narrowed, woolly-felted on the border, glandular, 

 hairy. The ligules are tipped with stiff hairs. 

 The styles are livid. The plant is 1-2$ ft. high, 

 flowering from June to September, and is a herb- 

 aceous perennial. 



Hieracium Adlerzii, Almq. The habitat of 

 this plant is river-banks, &c. The stem is simple 

 or branched, finely furrowed, reddish, stiffly hairy, 

 woolly-felted below and above. The radical leaves 

 are few, forming a rosette, the earlier, small, short, 

 egg-shaped, oblong, elliptic, toothed, rounded, 

 blunt below, the inner oval to lance-shaped, broad, 

 blunt, acute, narrowed to the stiffly hairy leaf- 

 stalk, finely toothed below. The 3-5 stem-leaves 

 are like the inner basal, acute, hairless above, 

 hairy below and on the margins, which are purple. 

 The panicle is close, in a corymb, with 1-2 lower, 

 straight, nearly erect branches, the upper ascend- 

 ing. The 3-6 heads are medium, dark, rounded, 

 blunt. The stalks are rather long, straight, 

 woolly -felted, hairy and glandular. The phyl- 

 laries extend outwards in bud, and are broad to 

 linear, blunt, the inner long-pointed, with pale 

 borders, glandular, hairy, woolly-felted, senes- 

 cent. The ligules are orange, hairless. The 

 styles are livid. The margins of the receptacle 

 pits are rather raised, toothed. The achenes are 

 dark brown. The stem is 1-2^ ft. high, flowering 

 in July, and is a herbaceous perennial. 



Hieracium septentrionale, Arv. Touv. The 

 habitat of this plant is rocks by the coast and 

 stream-sides. The plant is short. The basal 

 leaves form a rosette, the lowest soon fading. 

 The stem-leaves are numerous, close, smaller up- 

 wards, oval, the apex lance-shaped to triangular, 

 the base narrow, toothed, stiffly hairy below, hairy 

 on the borders. The panicle has 2-3 nearly erect 

 branches, in a loose corymb. The stalks are 

 woolly-felted, glandular. The heads are large, 

 dark, egg-shaped. The phyllaries are narrow, 

 rather blunt, glandular, hairy. The styles are 

 brown. The plant is 1-2 ft. high, flowering in 

 July and August, and is a herbaceous perennial. 



Hieracium cacuminatum, Dahlst. The stem of 

 this species is tall, robust, stiffly hairy below, 

 woolly-felted. The radical leaves are dull-green, 

 the basal oval to oval-elliptic, with broad, sharp 

 teeth, the inner egg-shaped to elliptic, lance- 

 shaped, awl-like, toothed, narrowed to the long 

 leaf-stalks. The stem-leaves are 4-6, becoming 

 smaller, the lower stalked, egg-shaped, lance- 

 shaped, awl-like, toothed, stiffly hairy below, the 

 margin fringed with hairs. The panicle is nar- 

 rowed, with distant lower, and close upper 

 branches, all erect to spreading. The flower- 

 stalks are short, woolly-felted, glandular below
