somewhat amplexicaul, involucre much Imbricated villous pale 

 ail the scales elongated and acuminate, the outer ones sub'

Near Loch Callater, north of Clova, and Loch-na-Gar, Scotland 

 1^. 7, 8. — The last station is mentioned upon the authority of a 

 specimen in the York museum, but by whom collected is unknown to 

 ns; for the first Mr. T. Drummond is quoted as the authority. We 

 ourselves have a specimen from Mr. Drummond marked from" Clova 

 but which has quite the aspect of a cultivated one, and was probably 

 obtained from Don's, afterwards Drummond's garden at For flir, where 

 it was supposed to be the plant of E. B, t. 2379, which however it 

 is not. It has been seen in our mountains by no livino- botanist 

 and we do not believe that it is a British species. . ^ ' 



4. H. ri^iciim, Fries {Irish H,) ; glaucous, stem leafy simple 

 corymbose or forked at the top, radical leaves oblong acute 

 toothed about the middle hairy on the margin and beneath \yith 

 shaggy winged short petioles, cauline ones sessile or amplexicaul 

 ovate acuminate entii'e towards the point, involucre ti-uncate 

 below blackish when dry and the peduncle with sets and grey 

 black-based hairs, inner scales blunt and nearly glabrous, li^mles 

 glabrous, styles livid. H. Lapeyrousii Bah. : in E. B S

Garra Head, Antrim. Teesdale. Braemar. 2^. 7.8. — The hairs 

 on the petioles are conspicuously denticulate. In tlie uncertainty 

 that prevails as to what is a species in this genus, we have drawn uo 

 the above character from Teesdale specimens only, said to have been 

 identified with those of Fries; the lower cauline leaves are however 

 not amplexicaul, and they are coarsely toothed from the base upwards. 

 Fries says the ligides are ciliated, which we do not observe to be the 

 case in our specimens 



H, cerinthoides " — 



' Specifically distinct from all the forms of 

 Bachhoitse.; but the only constant character we per- 

 ceive is in the scales of the involucre, which are all more obtuse than 

 in IL cerinthoides. We are much disposed to consider the figure of 

 Bill EUJl f. 179, referred by Fries to his H. Oreodes, as takenlvom a 

 cultivated specimen of this species. 



5. H. cerinthoides Ij. {Honey -ivort H.) ; glaucous, stem with 

 few leaves and one or fQ\Y heads hairy, leaves hairy, radical 

 ones oblong^ or oblong-lanceolate toothed, cauline ones more or 

 less amplexicaul or sessile ovate acuminate, the itpper part of 

 the peduncles and involucres stellate-downy with black-based 

 hairs and setse, involucre ventricose blackish, inner scales at- 

 tenuated longer than the opening florets, ligules ciliated at the 

 apex, styles livid. E. B. t. 2378. H. Lawsoni Sm. (not Vill).
