44. COMPOSITE. 63 



probably pass under this name ; the one, which I suppose 

 to be correctly so named, with very flexible, glaucous, 

 faintly toothed leaves; the other, H. inuloides of some bo- 

 tanists, with more rigid leaves, often rather strongly toothed. 

 Both of these grow near Castletown, in Braemar, as well as 

 in other habitats reported for H. prenanthoides. I think 

 that the English Botany figure (2235) has been taken from 

 the species or variety with rigid leaves.

Native. Rupestral, Sylvestral. The specimens which I 

 have seen referred to this species, by their labels, are those 

 which other botanists would label respectively with the 

 names of rigidum, denticulatum, or prenanthoides. Of 

 course, under such circumstances, the geographic distribu- 

 tion of the several species, intended under the variously 

 applied names, must be very uncertainly ascertained. The 

 second province is introduced into the line which shows 

 the area, on account of Professor Balfour reporting that he 

 found " H. inuloides" in the Isle of Wight, in 1846, which 

 appears to have been a mistake, and one which might war- 

 rant the addition of H. boreale to the list of species labelled 

 as inuloides.
