south-eastern side of Canlocben Glen, Forfarshire ; head of Glen 

 Callatcr, Aberdeenshire ; Ben Voirlich, Dumbartonshire ; and Maol 

 Ghyrdy, Perthshire. 



Scotland. Perennial. Autumn. 



Of this plant I have seen but few specimens. Dr. Walker- 

 Arnott, in the " British Flora," unites it with H. chrysanthum, 

 from which it differs in habit, in its oval and evenly and slightly 

 dentate leaves, which have frequently small gland-tipped projec- 

 tions scarcely deserving to be called teeth, and in the stem being 

 taller and more naked. The phyllarics are blunter and have more 

 abundant stellate down, especially at the tips. 



Fries quotes, with a mark of admiration, vmder H. atratum : 

 " H. senescens, Backh. ! p. 32, var. Isete viridis, foliis mollioribus."

Stem simple or corymbosely branched at the apex, with scat- 

 tered black-based hairs (of which the white points appear to be 

 brittle) above intermixed with stellate down and a very few gland- 

 tipped hairs, beneath with simple white hairs. Radical leaves sub- 

 coriaceous, oblong-oblanceolate, or elliptical-oblanceolate, gradu- 

 ally contracted into very short indistinct broadly-winged woolly 

 petioles, acute (or the outer ones obtuse), remotely denticulate or 

 dentate, or nearly entire, rough on the upper surface with stiff 

 woolly hairs, below and on the margins with soft woolly hairs. Stem 

 with 2 or 3 rather large lanceolate sessile or semi-amplexicaul leaves. 

 Anthodes solitary, or more often 2 or 3 in a corymb. Pericline 

 hemispherical at the base, at length truncate ; phyllaries rather 

 narrow, acute, straight and projecting in bud ; outer ones very few, 

 small, adpressed ; all nearly black, sparingly clothed with short 

 black-based hairs and gland-tipped hairs. Florets sub-glabrous 

 externally, very slightly pilose at the tips. Styles livid. Plant 

 green. 



Abundant in high alpine glens, at an elevation of 1,500 to 

 2,500 feet. In the Clova, Braemar, and Breadalbane districts, and 

 in Western Inverness.
