moieland. Mr. Lawson. On the sloping side of a hill called 

 Gordil, near Malham in Craven. Dr. Richardson. At the foot 

 of the Highland mountain Ben Cruachan, and on a rock in 

 Coriie Cruachan. Dr. Hooker and Mr. Borrer. 



Perennial. July. 



Root rather woody, black externally, with long simple fibres. Herb 

 glaucous, abounding in every part with bitter milk. Stems one 

 or more, filled with pith, erect or spreading, a foot high, in cul- 

 tivated specimens twice as much, round, smooth, bearing one, 

 two, or three sessile oblong leaves, and terminating in from one 

 to four bristly and downy, slightly bracteated, alternate, elon- 

 gated Jlower-stalks, each supporting a very large and handsome 

 lemon-coloured j?o«;er-, whose calyx is clothed with short, tawny, 

 as well as blackish, hairs. The leaves are chiefly radical, on long 

 d\\AieA footstalks , elliptical, acute at each end, much extended 

 at the base, where they are copiously hairy ; their margins ge- 

 nerally quite entire, fringed with pale hairs. 



This is a most distinct species, propagating itself plentifully by 



seed in a garden, where it differs only in luxuriancy from a Py- 



renean specimen in my possession, the only wild one I have ever 



seen. The figure in Engl. Bat. was of necessity taken, like that 



, of Dillenius, from a cultivated plant, but it is very characteristic.
