CLASS XIX. ORDER I. ] HIERACIUM. 1041 
Inflorescence a terminal sub-corymbose panicle. lowers large, pale 
yellow, handsome. Peduneles, bractea, and involucre, clothed with 
downy pubescence, with short glandular hairs intermixed with it. 
Florets linear, obtuse, cut into fine linear teeth at the end. Fruit 
reddish brown, linear, obtuse, angular. Pappus a dirty white, 
roughish. 
Habitat.—Rocks in the Highlands of Scotland, Wr. G. Don ; but 
Sir J. W. Hooker says he has not seen a native specimen, except the 
one given to him by Mr. G. Don. 
Perennial; flowering in August. 
This is found not unfrequent in the mountainous and alpine dis- 
triets of the Continent. Its flowers are large and handsome pale 
lemon colour. 
8. H. amplexi'caule, Linn. (Fig. 1225.) Ampleaxicaul Hawk-weed. 
Glanduloso-pubescent; stem corymbose; radical leaves elliptic ob- 
long, or oblong, tapering into a footstalk, toothed, the upper ones 
sessile, sub-cordate, amplexicaul, and the bractea entire.

yol. i. p. 295 —Lindley, Synopsis, p. 160. 
Root woody. Stem erect, about a foot high, round, striated, and 
clothed as well as the leaves with brown glandular pubescence, giving 
the plant a greasy feel between the fingers. Leaves a somewhat 
glaucous green, the lower and radical ones more or less oblong 
lanceolate, tapering into a footstalk, the upper ones sessile, broadly 
heart-shaped at the base, embracing the stem, its point tapering. 
Inflorescence sub-corymbose. Bracteas small, ovate. Involucre of 
numerous awl-shaped imbricated scales, very downy and hairy. 
Florets linear, obtuse, pale yellow, finely toothed at the end, downy 
at the back and top of the tube. Fruit black, linear, obtuse, striated. 
Pappus dirty white, rough, very fragile. 
Habitat—Walls of the Castle of Cleish, Kinross-shire; Clove 
mountains; on the walls of the Oxford Botanical Garden. 
Perennial; flowering in August. 
9. H. denticula'tum, Smith. (Fig. 1226.) Small-toothed Hawk-weed. 
“ Stem erect, leafy, solid, many flowered; symose with downy glan- 
dular stalks; leaves sessile, elliptic-lanceolate, finely toothed, smooth- 
ish, glaucous beneath.” a’

This is a very doubtful species, and is distinguished only from the 
following, by its leaves being a somewhat glaucous green, sessile, and 
scarcely amplexicaul, distinctions which seem scarcely sufficient to 
make it a good variety. 
15. H. prenanthoi'des, Vill. (Fig. 1227.) Rough-bordered Hawk- 
weed. Stem erect, leafy, hairy; panicle sub-corymbose ; peduncle
