[H. vilUsum (L.), specimens marked from Clova district are 

 found in several Herbaria, notably in the Royal Herb. Kew, 

 the Nat. Hist. Mils., Barras Bridge Newcastle-on-Tyne, and 

 that of Sir J. E. Smith. Some of the plants are correctly 

 named, but others are H. alpinum, H. eximium, or H. senescem. 

 It is extremely probable that cultivated specimens of H. 'villo- 

 snm were circulated by mistake, instead of some of these very 

 hairy alpine forms that abound in the Clova district. Nothing 

 approaching H. villosum L. has been found during the past 

 fifty years.]
