Tribe VII. LEONTOBONTE^. 

 399. LEONTODON. 



I have preferred Koch's descriptions and 

 arrangements to those of De CandoUe. Both 

 rest on the existence and nature of an outer 

 row of shafts, which are not feathered; but 

 the distinction is not very clear, as these outer 

 shafts do not always form a complete row. 

 Incamis, Berinii, crispus, and saxatilis, are 

 said by DC. to have such an outer row ; but 

 Koch places them in the division where there 

 is no such row.

 thered outer Shafts.
