CL. XIX.] SYNGENESIA POLYGAMIA -&QTJALIS. 309 



tacle naked, convex, dotted. Name, from Icon, a lion, and 

 odous, a tooth, on account of the jagged leaves. 371. 



1. L. Taraxacum. Common Dandelion. Outer scales of the calyx 



loose and reflected ; leaves runcinate, smooth. Flowers large, 



yellow, a single one on each tubular stalk. Bitter, but not dis- 

 agreeably so. Perennial : flowers from March to August : grows 

 on pastures, on banks, and by roads and walls : common. Eng. 

 Sot. vol. viii. pi. 510. Eng. Fl. vol. iii. p. 349. 1117. 



2. L. palustre. Marsh Dandelion. Outer scales of the calyx close- 

 pressed and erect; leaves lance-shaped, between sinuate and 

 toothed, nearly smooth, Much smaller than the last, and appa- 

 rently distinct from it, its characters being permanent in every 

 variety of situation. Perennial : flowers in May and June : grows 

 generally in marshy places, sometimes in dry pastures, but always 

 in ground that has not been subjected to cultivation. In many 

 districts of Scotland, and especially in the Hebrides, it is much 

 more common than the other species, of which, however, it seems 

 to be the original. Eng. Bot. vol. viii. pi. 553. Eng. Fl. vol. iii. p. 

 350. 1118.

 sometimes a little stalked in the central ones. Receptacle naked, 

 or slightly hairy, dotted. Name used by the ancients. 372. 



1. A. hispida. Rough Hawkbit. Stalks leafless, one-flowered; 

 leaves runcinate, rough; florets hairy at their orifice, glan- 

 dular at the end; seeds all with feathery down. Boot ta-
