Anthodes -} inch long, in a spike-like raceme or panicle, interrupted

Perennial. Rootstock producing short leafy barren shoots or 
solitary erect simple flowering-stems. Lowest leaves ohlanceolate, 
those in middle of stem largest, those in the inflorescence suddenly 
much smaller and narrower ; all acute, cottony on both sides. 
Anthodes subsessile in clusters or solitary, collected into a short 
terminal spike or spike-like panicle, leafy towards the base, not 
occupying more than one-third of the stem. Pericline cylindrical- 
cam panulate ; phyllaries unequal, the inner ones scarious, with an 
alive stripe and dark-brown scarious margins, shorter than the 
pappus and expanded florets. Achenes fusiform - cylindrical, 
hispid. Pappus white. 
On alpine rocks. Very rare. I have only seen it on Lochnagar, 
Aberdeenshire ; but it has also been found at the head of Can- 
adian Glen, Porfarshire ; on Ben Chat, five miles north of Blair 
It hole, and mountain north of Loch Ericht, Perthshire; and on 
Uen Wvvis, Boss-shire. 
Scotland. Perennial. Late Summer and Autumn. 
Very like G. sylvaticum, but the leaves are much broader, more 
evidently 3-nerved, more distant, nearly equal in breadth up to 
lie commencement of the spike, immediately below which they 
rather crowded, and then those in the spike abruptly become 
uueh shorter and narrower than those beneath ; the rootstock in 
lie specimens I have seen has no barren shoots ; the spike is 
shorter and more compact ; the phyllaries much darker towards 
lie margins, shorter in proportion ta the pappus ; the achenes 
nrger and more fusiform, darker brown; the pappus nearly pure 
•vhite instead of reddish-white; the leaves hoary on both sides.
