Hieracium pulchrius, Ley. The habitat of this 

 plant is mountain cliffs. The stem is short, stout, 

 less leafy than the last, shaggy. The basal leaves

 blunt, narrowed to the shaggy leaf-stalk, toothed, 

 stiffly hairy on the surfaces and margins. The 

 2-3 stem-leaves are elliptic, or the upper egg- 

 shaped, toothed like the basal. The panicle has 

 1-2 erect to spreading lower branches, the upper 

 in a sort of umbel. The 4-8 heads are broadly 

 egg-shaped, blunt below. The flower-stalks are 

 nearly straight, woolly-felted, glandular. The 

 phyllaries are linear, lance -shaped, blunt, the 

 inner narrow, acute, with a pale border, thickly

 less. The styles are yellow. The pappus is tinged 

 reddish-brown. 



Hieracium dovrense, Fr. The habitat of this 

 plant is bushy places. The stem is simple or 

 branched, finely furrowed, stiffly hairy, woolly- 

 felted, glandular, hairy. The radical leaves are 



green, the earliest short, oval to lance-shaped, 



blunt, soon fading, the later inversely lance-shaped, 



rounded above or blunt-pointed, narrowed to the 



: stiffly hairy leaf-stalk, toothed, hairy both sides 



I and on the border. The 3-10 stem-leaves are 



1 stalkless or nearly so, like the inner basal, the 



intermediate egg-shaped to lance-shaped, the 



uppermost egg-shaped, toothed. The panicle is 



rigid, in a sort of corymb, the lower branches 



long, nearly erect, in a corymb, the upper shorter, 



arching, longer than the acladium. The stalks 



are woolly-felted, glandular, hairy. The few 



heads are dark, cylindric, blunt below. The outer 



phyllaries are short, loose, woolly-felted at the 



border, the inner linear, lance-shaped, narrowed 



i above, with a pale margin, the innermost nearly 



1 acute, hairy, glandular. The tips of the ligules 



are fringed with hairs. The styles are livid. The 



plant is 1-2 ft. high, flowering in July and August, 



and is a herbaceous perennial. 



Hieracium Scullyi, Lintonf The habitat of this 

 plant is rocks. The stem is stout, erect, rigid, 

 hairy below, woolly-felted above. The radical 

 leaves are green, hairless above, pale bluish-green, 

 and hairy below, fringed with stiff hairs, the basal 

 2-3 in., oval, inversely egg-shaped, oblong, 

 toothed or nearly entire. The 7-16 stem -leaves 

 1 are broadly inversely egg-shaped to roundly egg- 

 shaped, with a long, narrow point, one-third clasp- 

 ing, toothed. The panicle is a corymb, leafy below, 

 with nearly erect branches, the upper ascending, 

 bent inwards, longer than the acladium. The 

 flower-stalks are woolly-felted, hairy, glandular. 

 The heads are large, few, blunt below. The 

 phyllaries are broad, long-pointed, blunt, the inner- 

 I most acute, dark-green, with a pale border, woolly - 

 I felted below, glandular, senescent. The ligules 

 ' are yellow, with the tips hairless. The styles are 

 dull brownish-green. The plant is 15-24 in. high. 

 Hieracium zetlandicum, Beeby. The habitat of 

 this species is pastures and sheltered rocks. The 

 stem is simple or branched, hairy below, woolly- 

 felted, glandular, hairy above. The basal leaves 

 form a rosette, the earlier are small, oblong to 

 elliptic, the later oval to elliptic, rounded, nearly 

 acute above, toothed, wedge-shaped below, 

 olive-green or tinged with purple, paler, stiffly 

 hairy below and on the borders. The 2-3 stem- 

 leaves are nearly stalkless, like the inner basal. 

 The panicle is close, in a sort of corymb. 

 The 2-4 heads are dark, nearly cylindric, blunt 

 below. The flower-stalks are rather short, 

 straight, woolly-felted, glandular, stiffly hairy, 

 I The phyllaries are dark-green, the outer short,
