23. (6.) Doronicum Linn. 
•fl. D. Pardalianches (L.) ; I. cordate denticulate, lowermost 
I. on long stalks, intermediate with clasping auricles at the base 
of the stalk, uppermost sessile clasping, root creeping tuberous. 
— E. B. S. 2654.— St. 2—3 feet high, erect, solitary, hollow, 
hairy. L. hairy, minutely toothed, soft, blunt, the uppermost 
acute. Petioles except the lowest winged or auricled. Heads 
several, involucral scales lanceolate-subulate. Florets yellow. 
The earlier heads overtopped by the latter ones. Fr. oblong, fur- 
rowed. — Damp and hilly woods and pastures, rare. P. V. — VII. 
+2. D. plantagineum (L. ?) ; I. ovate denticulate, radical on 
long stalks rounded or subcordate produced at the base, stem I. 
sessile clasping the lowermost with a winged and auricled stalk, 
root — E. B. G30. (excl. leaf.) — Crown of the root woolly. 
St. 2 — 3 feet high. Stem 1. narrowed in their lower half but 
sessile, uppermost with a long taper point. Heads usually soli- 
tary, or, if more, the lateral ones not overtopping the terminal 
one. Involucral scales subulate. Florets yellow. — Damp places, 
rare. P. VI. VII. E. S.

lucre woolly below nearly glabrous in the upper half, fr. hispid. 
— E. B. 152. — St. 6 — 8 in. high, with small leaves. Heads 
erect, 1 — 6, in a simple corymb. Involucre often almost gla- 
brous, pale. Florets yellow. — In very wet seasons (Mag. Nat. 
Hist. v. 88.) and near the sea this plant is often thrice as large 
with numerous larger heads and the lower 1. dentate, when it is 
the /3. maritima of authors. — Chalk downs ; or (J3.) on mari- 
time rocks near Holyhead. P. ? VI. E.
