cept the calyx, which is more or less downy, and glandular. Root 

 tapering, milky like the rest of the plant. Stem from 1 to 2 feet 

 high, leafy, upright, branched, furrowed, sometimes slightly 

 hairy, always stained with purple near the ramifications. Leaves 

 smooth, variously runcinate, or jagged, the upper ones dilated 

 and clasping at the base, where also they are most toothed. 

 Panicle slender, lax, corymbose, roughish, with awl-shaped 

 bracfeas. Fl. bright yellow, much smaller than those of any 

 other common plant of this tribe, except Lapsana. Outer, as 

 well as inner, calyx glandular, and rough ; the former of several 

 membranous, withering, but scarcely deciduous, scales ; the 

 utter not much altered after flowering. Seeds furrowed. Down 

 rough, sessile like the last. Recept. with shallow rough-edged 

 cells.

Biennial. June, July. 



Root spindle-shaped. Stem 3 or 4 feet high, erect, stout, hollow, 

 leafy, corymbose, very strongly furrowed; roughish above; 

 purplish below. Radical leaves stalked, obovate, unequally 

 toothed ; those about the lower part of the stem pinnatifid, or 

 runcinate, likewise on purplish stalks; uppermost sessile, clasp- 

 ing, more deeply pinnatifid, their lobes strongly toothed m 

 front, the terminal one large ; all rough with bristly hairs, espe- 

 cially the mid-rib beneath. Fl. large, lemon-coloured, reddish 

 underneath, on furrowed stalks, with linear bracteas. Outer 

 calyx of lax, partly membranous, scales ; inner of longer and 

 more downy ones, often glandular and bristly, at first flat, but 

 subsequently acquiring a stout, or turgid, mid-rib, like every 

 true Crepis. Seeds striated, crenate, beaked. Down roughish, 

 sessile on the summit of the beak, so as to appear almost stalked 

 Recept. with fringed cells. 



^ is a very trifling variety, of somewhat humbler growth.
