ones, frequently finely and very shortly ciliated on the margins. 

 Ligules glabrous, not ciliated at the apex. Styles livid. Achenes 

 chestnut. 



By the banks of streams in mountainous districts. Upper 

 Teesdale ; Clova ; banks of Clunic, at Castleton of Braemar ; 

 Kingussee, Inverness-shire ; banks of Loch Tay, Perthshire ; Glen 

 Arilf, county Antrim. 



England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Autumn. 



Stem stout, slightly flexuous, 1 to 4 feet high, generally reddish 



below. Leaves resembling those of II. boreale, but the upper 



ones decidedly clasping at the base, much more glabrous, slightly 



glaucous beneath, with much shorter hairs on the veins and 



margins, and with the ultimate veins more distinct. Peduncles 



more densely clothed with stellate hairs, and with fewer bracts 



which rarely become crowded, immediately below the anthodes 



pass gradually into phyllaries as in H. boreale. Anthodes larger, 



fewer, and in a more lax corymb, with the pedicels less upi'ight ; 



branches showing scarcely any disposition to a racemose arrangement 



beneath the terminal corymb. Pericline broader at the base and 



more conical after flowering ; phyllaries with paler edges and rather 



more numerous hairs. Achenes paler. Pappus more tawny. 



There are none of the other preceding species with which it 



can be confounded, but it certainly approaches very closely to the 



following species. ^ z. tt ? ^

Stem very leafy, corymbosely or paniculate - corymbosely 

 branched at the apex, sub-glabrous, frequently clothed with soft 

 woolly hairs on the lower part and with a very little stellate 

 down in the upper, and rather densely stellately-downy on the 

 peduncles, but with few or no gland-tipped hairs. Leaves 

 distributed over the whole stem, the lower ones narrowly oblan- 

 ceolate, attenuated into indistinct winged petioles; intermediate 

 ones narrowly oblong-elliptical, rounded and semi-amplexicaul at 

 the base, very gradually attenuated towards the apex and sub- 

 acute; uppermost ones lanceolate, rounded and semi-amplexicaul 

 at the base, attenuated and acute at the apex ; all more or less ser- 

 rate-denticulate in the middle with the teeth remote and frequently
