radical 1. obloug-lanccolatc with shaggy winged j)etioles per- 
sistent, stem 1. ovate-lanceolate or ovate taper-j)ointed gradually 
narrowing quite to the base and halt'-elas])ing, all nearly entire, 
heads lew corymbose. — E. B. H. lonyifolium Sehleich. ? — 
L. much longer and narrower than in the preceding, stem 1. not 
at all rounded nor enlarged at the base and only imperfectly clasp- 
ing. — “ Highlands of Scotland, not uncommon.” Mr. G. Don ; 
but 1 sus])ect some mistake has occurred as it has not been again 
found, and many of Don’s specimens of other plants seem to 
have been taken from native roots cultivated in his garden. Was 
not H. Lawsoni the plant found by him ? The specimen in 
Sm. Herb, agrees with a plant in cultivation named H. cerin- 
thoides in English and German botanical gardens which is not 
that of Gouan nor ])robably of Linn, although the latter may 
have included it under that name. P. VIII. S. 
14. H. amplexicaide (L.) ; glandular-hairy throughout, st. leafy, 
radical 1. elliptical-oblong with small teeth narrowed into a 
winged petiole, stem 1. cordate acute sessile clasping lower 
toothed upper entire, heads corymbose. — E. B. S. 2690. — Re- 
markable for having its stem, leaves and involucres viscid with 
glandular hairs. Stem 1 — 2 feet high. Heads few. Fr. ribbed, 
not furrowed. — Clova Mountains and Cleish Castle. P. VII. — S. 
*** Prenanthoidea;. Stem leafy. Radical leaves withered or 
quite decayed at the time of flowering. Teeth of the corolla 
bearing jointed hairs externally. 
15. H. denticulatum (Sm.) ; st. erect leafy panicled above, 
peduncles and involucres glandular-hairy, 1. elliptic-lanceolate 
denticulate, lower 1. tapering into a footstalk upper sessile ovate. 
— E. B. 2122. — St. 3 feet high, leafy throughout. Heads small 
numerous. Nearly allied to the next but with much more nume- 
rous black-based hairs and fewer setse on the ped. and inv. ; the 
cultivated plant is more like the next in this respect. — Subalpine 
glens in Scotland, rare. P. VII. VIII. S. 
16. H. prenanthoides {YiW.) ; st. erect leafy simple, 
and involucres glandular-hairy, involucres of few scales and nearly 
simple, 1. all sessile clasping denticulate, lower 1. narrowed above 
the base, upper ovate, lowest much narrow’ed downwards, radical 
evanescent, fr. smooth slightly ribbed. — E. B. 2235. — St. 2 — 3 
feet high, leafy throughout. Heads small, numerous ; inv. of 
scarcely more than one row of equal scales and a row of very 
much smaller ones at the base, clothed with many setae and a few 
black-based hairs. Radical 1. stalked ? This does not exactly 
agree with the plant of Villars which has quite entire leaves. — 
River-sides in S. and the north of E. P. VIII. E. S.
