 acuminated, concave, serrated, striated, faintly two-nervedjl

Plant robust, from six to. eight or ten inches long ; stem* 

 pinnate. The variety /3, is not half the size, more slender 

 in its habit, and has the leaves narrower and more acumi-

 Ehrhart's H. umlratum ; but in this var. of H. triquetrum 

 the leaves are longer, more stnated^ less patent, and less 

 serrated.
