14 Mr. J. Ball on the genus Leoniodon. 



scapo interdum folio basilar! instruct©, superne glabrescente ; invo- 

 lucri squamis lineari-acuminatis, laxiusculis, exterioribus recurvis, 

 omnibus margine etdorso ciliatis ; (achenii muricellati rostro brevi?) . 



Hab. in Apennino Neapolitano (Teriore) et Romano (Moris), in Tau- 

 ria (M. Bteb.) Habeo specimina Taurica immatura e manu Steveni 

 e quibus trahitur diagnosis noster. 



Syn. Apargia crispa, var. macrorhiza, Ten. A. hispanica, M. Bieb. 



— G. subsp.(?) cinerascens, nob. (descr. ex spec, immaturo), scapo 

 foliis 2 instructo, versus basin cum foliis omnibus e pilis mollibus 

 longe stellatis incano, superne cum involucro pube brevi stellata, 

 pilis longioribus intermixta, vestito. 



Habui specimen unicum ex Pisidia, comm. cl. Heldreich ; specimen 

 alterum quod cum priore nomine gaudet L. hiscutellcefolii est 

 omnino L. asperrimus noster. 



The decided difference in the sculpturing of the leaf, the more 

 lax and recurved phyllaries^ and, as far as I can judge from un- 

 ripe specimens, the shorter beak of the fruit, sufficiently distin- 

 guish this from the two last species. I am inclined to expect 

 that complete specimens of my subspecies cinerascens will esta- 

 blish characters of specific value by which it should be distin- 

 guished, and I believe that it will be found to be intermediate 

 between L. asper and L. adhcerens. 



*** Pappi radii omnes plumosi, exteriores breviores. 



15. L. asper, Reich. Radice fusiformi ; scapo simplici aut rarius 

 bifido, basin versus folio unico lanceolato, superne squamis linea- 

 ribus, instructo ; foliis radicalibus lanceolato-spathulatis, in petio- 

 lum attenuatis, lobato-dentatis, segmentis insequalibus triangula- 

 ribus, viridibus, e pilis sub lente asperis apice stellatis, hispidis ; 

 involucri foliolis lanceolatis, acutiusculis, margine et interdum dorso 

 ciliatis pilis brevibus stellatis, in series 4-5 sequidistautes imbri- 

 catis ; achenio longe rostrato, superne muricato. 



Ilab. in H angaria et Macedonia. Habui ex Banatu a cl. Wierzbicki, 

 atque ex Montibus Carlova e manu Friwaldski ; occurrit etiam 

 in Germania boreali suadente eel. Reichenbach, necnon in Pyre- 

 nseis ad portum Venasque, et in Sicilia, auctore D.C. (Prod. vii. 

 p. 103). Licet tamen dubitare de diagnosi stirpis diu confusae 

 prsesertim quoad specimina pyrenaica, cum planta hungarica prse- 

 diligit loca saxosa calidiora montium inferiorum. 



Syn. Apargia aspera, W. K. 



Habentur synonyma plurima meo sensu omnino dubia. Apargia 

 questfalica, Bonningh. (Reich.) Apargia hispanica, W. (sec. 

 Koch) ; sed stirps Willdenoviana, quam Candollius Asterothrici, 

 Cass., conjunxit, videtur ex diagnosi auctorum incompleta, bene 

 distincta species. 



This species is intermediate between the group of which L,
