 lanceolate, obtuse, crenated, cordate at the base, clothed with soft

 wool of the stem and lower surfaces of the leaves being dense 

 and floccose, not long and silky.

16 S. ALPI'NA (Lin. spec. p. 812.) herbaceous, tall; stem 

 erect, pilose, rather woolly ; leaves petiolate, ovate, serrately 

 crenated, cordate at the base, green on both surfaces, villous :

 brown.
