360 SYNGENESIA— POLYGAM.-^QU. Hieracium. 



hollow in the centre, eeldom quite leafless, branched in a 

 corymbose manner, and bearing from 4 to 6 large yellow ^omj- 

 ers, on glandular and hairy blackish stalks. Bracteas few, scat- 

 tered, awl-shaped or linear, hairy. Leaves on long hairy /oo<- 

 stallcs, broadly ovate, somewhat heart-shaped, variously hairy, 

 wavy, more or less toothed about the base, their teeth radiant, 

 or spreading eveiy way, the lowermost pointing backward, and 

 in jS remarkably elongated or dilated ; the upper surface of an 

 elegant, opaque, rather glaucous green ; under paler, often pur- 

 plish, but the leaves are never stained with black ; they are nu- 

 merous, and for the most part radical, one only, much toothed, 

 being situated about the middle of the stern, sometimes lower 

 down. Cal. rough with short, black, glandular hairs. Recept. 

 convex, toothed. 

 The stem in this species is not more copiously leafy than in some, 

 native or exotic ones, of the former section, but with them it has 

 no natural affinity, and is tiierefore placed with those to which it 

 is most nearly allied.

H. Pulmonaria dictum angustifolium. Richardson and Dill, in Rail 

 Syn. 1 68 ; but not the original plant of Ray, Gerarde, and Lobel, 

 which Dr. Lamb of Newbury proved to be Cineraria integrifo- 

 lia; and this remarkable fact the old figure of the two last- 

 mentioned authors, copied by Petiver, t. 13./. 5, confirms. Yet 

 Lobel's figure, Ic. 587/ 1, is still quoted by some authors for 

 H. sylvaticuni. 



On the mountains of Wales, Westmoreland, and Scotland. 



Near the lake Lhyn y cwm, not far from the church of Llanberis,

4^(A,j*jL*^\Breidden hill, Montgomeryshire. Mr. Bowman. Brought from 



Westmoreland, in 1781, by Mr. Crowe, in the site of whose 



I garden at Norwich, and that neighbourhood, the plant is now 



naturalized, as well as on several old walls about the cathedral. 



' Perennial. June — September. 



The great difficulty of the subject, and the many errors of the most 

 able botanists, will I hope plead my excuse for having at any 

 time confounded this very distinct species with the preceding or 

 the following. Though variable in height, from 1 foot, as in Mr. 

 Bowman's specimen, to 2 or 3 on our walls, it has always a
