stellate down, involucre ventricose constricted above, scales 

 close-pressed blackish when dry, outer ones acute or bluntish, 

 inner acuminate longer than the opening florets, Hgules glabrous, 

 styles yellow. H. anglicum Bab. (partly) ? 



Falcon Glints, Teesdale. %. 7, 8. — Hairs on the petioles con- 

 spicuously toothed as in the last species. We have drawn up the 

 ahove character from notes furnished by Mr. Backhouse of York and 

 Mr. Baker of Thirsk, aided by a specimen from the above locality ; 

 we are assured by them that this is the plant intended by Fries. It 

 is quite different from anything we have from Scotland. 



12. H. linguldtum Backh. (lingulate-leavedll.) ; glaucous, stem 

 branched leafy below, leaves lanceolate toothed at the middle 

 sprinkled with harsh hairs on the margin and underneath, 

 caulhie ones sessile usually elongated and undulate decreasing 

 upwards, involucre broad and the apex of the peduncles black 

 with set-s mixed with hairs and stellate doAvn, ligules slightly 

 ciliated, styles livid. 11. divaricatum Don. H. saxifragum Bah. 



Clova mountains, particularly in the ravine of the White Water. 

 2|.. 7, 8. — -The leaves are usually almost glabrous above, but in Mr. 

 Don's specimens are covered with harsh tawny hairs on both sides ; 

 we perceive no stellate down on them except occasionally on or neai- 

 the midrib. The scales of the involucre are acuminate, but rather 

 blunt at the point ; Mr. Babington describes them as not exceeding 

 the opening flowers (which is probable from the appearance of the 

 dried specimens), but whether they be then bent in at the point as in 

 H. syhatkum, or straight, we are uncertain. Whether this be H. 

 saxifragum var. vimineum Fr., or some other variety of that species, 

 or altogether unnoticed by Fries, we have no means of deciding. 



13. I-I. argenteum Fries {Silvery H.) ; intensely glaucous, stem 

 hollow glabrous with one or few leaves several times forked or 

 much branched, leaves lanceolate glabrous ciliated toothed at 

 the middle, radical ones distinctly cauline shortly stalked, 

 bracteas somewhat leafy, scales of the involucre broad obtuse, 



ligules glabrous, styles yellow.

The above character 



... . x.^o. If H. glaucvm of Drummond (from the ravine of the 



^Vhite Water) be the same, the leaves are almost glabrous ; but in 

 om- Clova specimen (received from Mr, Backhouse) they have very 

 few hairs on the upper surface near the margin, and many on the 

 under. The ligules appear to us free of cili^, but Mr. Backhouse 

 (Phytol. iv. p. 806) says they are ciliated. In our specimen, moreover, 

 the involucral scales are narrow and scarcely obtuse and the stem is 

 several times forked. Mr. Baker of Thirsk informs us that this is 

 found also on the English and Welsh mountains, but we have seen no 

 specimens from these.
