Mountains of Wales, Ireland, and Scotland, at an elevation of 
1 000 to 2.500 feet ; rare. Llyn Ogwen, Caernarvonshire ; Craig

Ravine of the White Water, Clova ; Castleton of Braemar, Ben-na- 
Bourd, and Little Craigindal, Aberdeenshire. If-. 7, 8. — If this 
lie distinct from the last, we are unacquainted with it; Fries unites 
the two. Judging from the character, which we have drawn up from 
Mr. Backhouse’s description, there is no positive distinction; the 
present species has more hairy leaves, shaggy rather than ciliate

closely aggregated, involucre narrow at length conical floccose nearly hair- 
less. 
** Styles more or less livid. 
19. H. murorum L. ; stem corymbose at the top, leaves thin, cauline ones none or 
few and lower one stalked, peduncles short arcuate, scales of invol. acute, 
inner ones acuminate erect in bud. 
20. H. cil’Stujn Fries? stem corymbose with few heads nearly or quite leafless, leaves 
coriaceous, peduncles straight, outer scales of invol. biuntish, inner very 
attenuate indexed in bud. 
20b. H. ohtusijolium Backh.; stem corymbose, leaves soft cauline one solitary 
shortly stalked, peduncles spreading, scales of invol. acuminate inflexed (?) 
in bud. 
21. H. stclligcrum Frcel. ; stem rather leafy subcorymbose with few heads, leaves
