Stem scape-like, corymbosely branched at the apex, glabrous, 

 with a little stellate down and a few short black gland-tijiped hairs 

 on the upper part and peduncles. Eadical leaves oval or elliptical- 

 lanceolate, rather abruptly contracted into short sparingly-woolly 

 petioles, acute or subacute (the outer ones sub-obtuse), remotely 

 denticulate or dentate, especially towards the base, sub-glabrous, 

 often ciliated with long rather stiff woolly hairs on the margins; 

 stem frequently leafless, but usvially with 1, more rarely 2 leaves, 

 which are elliptical, shortly stalked or sessile, smaller and narrower 

 than the radical leaves. Anthodes moderately large, 2 to G, in a 

 corymb. Pericline ovate at the base ; phyllaries rather few, acu- 

 minate, the inner ones very acute, dark-olive, sparingly clothed 

 with stellate down, especially at the margins, and with a few short 

 black-based hairs and black gland-tipped hairs on the disk. Elorets 

 glabrous, except at the tips, where they arc frequently faintly 

 ciliated. Styles yellow. Plant very glaucous. 



On rocks and by the sides of streams in mountainous districts.
