simple, 1. all sessile clasping denticulate, lower I. narrowed above 
the ba.se, upper ovate, lowest much narrowed downwards, radical 
evanescent, Jr. smooth slightly ribbed. — E. B. 2235. — St. 2 — 3 
feet high, leafy throughout. Heads small, numerous ; invo- 
lucres with scarcely more than one row of equal scales and a 
row of very much smaller ones at the base. Radical 1. stalked ? 
This does not exactly agree with the plant of Villars which has 
quite entire leaves. — River-sides in Scotland and Northumber- 
land. P. VIII. E. S. 
15. H. inuloides (Tausch !) ; st. erect leafy simple, peduncles 
and involucres stellato-pubescent, involucres of numerous imbri- 
cated scales : the lowermost lax and rather distant, 1. all sessile 
the lowermost much narrowed downwards, intermediate narrowed 
above their base, uppermost ovate-lanceolate, radical evanescent, 
fr. rough. — St. 2 — 4 feet high, leafy throughout, hairy. Heads 
larger than those of H. prenanthoides ; involucre of much more 
numerous scales, which decrease gradually in length, the lower- 
most descending on to the peduncle, slightly hairy and scarcely 
ever at all glandular; peduncles without hairs or glands. Fr. 
slightly ribbed. L. not clasping. My specimens agree well with 
those of Tausch published in his PL Sel. Boh. — Highland woods.

16. H. sabaudum (L.) ; st. erect panicled and branched above, 
1. ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate toothed, lower 1. narrowed into 
a dilated petiole, upper I. ovate with a cordate clasping base, radi- 
cal evanescent, involucral scales adpressed slightly downy towards 
their base nearly uniform in colour. — St. 2 — 3 feet high, leafy 
throughout, usually hairy particularly below. L. hairy. Fr. 
red, striated, rough. Involucral scales dark with the margins 
slightly paler.— Thickets and banks. P. VIII. IX. E. 
17. H. boreale (Fries) ; st. erect scabrous leafy slightly branched 
and corymbose above, 1. ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate sinuate- 
dentate or nearly entire lower ones narrowed into a dilated pe- 
tiole, upper I. sessile with a rounded base uppermost small, radical 
evanescent, involucral scales adpressed in 3 regular rows uniform 
in colour with a slightly hispid keel. — H. sabaudum Sm. E. B.

Peduncles and base of the involucre hoary with stellate pubes- 
cence and long hairs interspersed. Fr. dark brown or nearly 
black, slightly furrowed, rough.— Thickets. P. VIII. IX.— E. S. 
18. H. rigidum (" Hartm." Fr.) ; st. erect scabrous leafy 
slightly branched and panicled above, I. narrowed at both ends 
ovate-lanceolate or lanceolate coarsely toothed in the middle, 
lowermost stalked evanescent, upper subsessile, involucral scales 
attenuated adpressed with pale margins. — H. Icevigatum Koch,
