20 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
Derbyshire, Bcrwick-on-T\veed, Beinbridgc, Isle of Wight, and 
Edinburgh. 
England, Scotland. Biennial. Autumn. 
I am unacquainted with this plant, and therefore give it only 
on Professor Babington's authority. It seems to differ from A. in- 
termedium only in the longer and narrower radical leaves and the 
shortly-stalked anthodes. I have seen but a single dried specimen, 
collected at Llanberis by the Rev. W. W. Newbould, which has not 
the root-leaves.

Radical leaves oblong-ovate, cordate, coarsely dentate. An- 
thodes racemose, all shortly stalked or subsessile. Pericline

England, Scotland, Ireland. Biennial. Autumn. 
Stem 2 to 4 feet high ; branches generally slightly drooping. 
Radical leaves with the teeth more acute than in any of the pre- 
ceding forms ; petioles with a large hollow. Anthodes much smaller, 
\ to f inch across, truly racemose, or sub-spicate-racemose ; phyl- 
laries green or tinged with purple, more slender, less spreading and 
shorter in proportion to the florets than in any of the other Burdocks. 
Achenes rather narrower and generally darker in colour, with the 
black spots almost confluent.

Pericline of imbricated entire blunt or mucronatc phyllaries,
