The Hieracium umbellatum grows on dry, fandy, or gravelly heaths, and in uncultivated places near London: 
. 3n fuch fituations, and in fuch only, we have obferved it about Hampftead, Barnet, and Charlton; in the old 
fand pits near the bottom of the lane leading down from Charlton-Church, on the left-hand fide, it may be found 
in great plenty. | f 
It varies in fize, from one to three feet or more; in the fmaller fpecimens the leaves are more entire, fre. 
quently altogether fo, and the ftalk is fometimes fimiple and uniflorous; in the larger ones the flalk is much 
branched, and the leaves ate more toothed, or Jagged, when cultivated in a garden, where it grows moft readily: 
it lofes in common with moft of the plants of the fame clafs, its natural character, and efpecially its umbellated 
appearance, which indeed it rarely has in perfection ; the mofl obvious character of the fpecies confifts in the 
narrownefs of its leaves. 7 
It flowers in Auguft and September. ! ! | 
Its ftalks are very frequently befet with gouty tubercles of various forms and fizes, which contain within them 
a number of {mall maggots, in different cells, and which moft probably produce fome fpecies of Cynips. 
Linn £us notices its being ufed in Scania as a dye, communicating to woollen:an elegant and beautiful 
colour, F7 Suec. 
SEMINA oblonga, nigricantia; PAPPus fimplex, feffi- 
lis, lutefcens, fig. 3. |
