409. HIERACIUM. 



It seems impossible to give an analysis of 

 the European part of this genus, without such 

 a reduction of the number of species as would 

 only be justifiable in a monograph of the whole. 

 I could have wished to follow De CandoUe, as 

 the number of species is exceedingly deficient 

 in any local author ; but the grounds on which 

 he has formed his subdivisions are totally 

 untenable. I have therefore taken my divisions 

 from Koch, as in many other cases, though not 

 here cjuite satisfactory, and inserted the addi- 

 tional species as well as I could ; taking care, 

 in all cases where I was unable to insert the 

 species with certainty in their proper places, to 

 give the whole phrase of the author from whom 

 I adopted them, that my reader might have all 

 the means of judging which I myself possessed. 

 I am afraid at last it Avill be found but a crude 

 mass ; but it has not been for want of time or 

 pains spent on the subject. The hairs oiHier- 

 acium are of four sorts. 1. Strong, rough 

 hairs, more or less swelled and coloured at the 

 base ; less coloured on the leaves and lower 

 part of the stem than on the upper, where they 

 are frequently all dark, and where the smaller 

 ones are sometimes tipped with a gland, and 

 thus passing into the next form. These strong 

 hairs often split at the summit into two or 

 three points. They appear to be round, and 

 therefore are not properly strigse, which are 

 flattened hairs approaching to the natm-e of 

 scales. 2. Short, fine hairs, each tipped with 

 a gland, and not enlarged at the base. 3. A 

 stellate pubescence, occurring chiefly on the 

 under side of the L. (especially among the Pi- 

 losella) and about the inflorescence. This is 

 sometimes very fine, and loosens itself, when it 

 is called mealy, or fioccose. 4. Plexuose bristles, 

 each joint prolonged into a point or some- 

 times into a hair, giving a feathered appearance 

 to each bristle.
