Gen. Char. Involucrum (common calyx) (fig. l,a„) oblong, 
imbricated, with spear-shaped, pointed scales, the outer ones gra- 
dually smaller, all permanent, unchanged. Corolla (fig. 1, b.) 
compound, of numerous, imbricated, uniform, perfect, strap-shaped, 
blunt, 5-toothed florets (fig. 2.). Filaments (see fig. 3.) 5, hair-like, 
very short. Anthers (see fig. 3.) in a cylindrical tube. Germen 
(see figs. 2 & 3.) inversely egg-shaped. Style (see figs, 2 & 3.) 
thread-shaped, prominent. Stigmas recurved. Seed-vessel none, 
except the permanent, finally spreading, or reflexed calyx. Seed 
(see fig. 5.) oblong, striated, often beaked. Pappus (see figs. 4 & 5.) 
feathery, stalked, or partly sessile. Receptacle chaffy, with strap- 
spear-shaped, smooth scales (see fig. 6.), as long as the seeds, or 
longer. 
The oblong, imbricated involucrum ; the striated, often beaked, 
seed ; the feathery pappus ; and the chaffy receptacle ; will dis- 
tinguish this from other genera, with all strap-shaped florets, in the 
same class and order. 
Three species British. 
HYPOCHCE'RIS RADICATA. Long-rooted Cat’s Tongue. 
Cat’s Ear. Rough Branched Dandelion. 
Spec. Char. Stem branched, leafless, smooth. Peduncles with 
small scales. Leaves runcinate, bluntish, rough. Pappus of all 
the seeds stalked.
