beak and with more numerous ribs, the pappus projecting less 
beyond the phyllaries than in C. taraxacifolia. 
From large forms of C. virens, the roughly hairy leaves and 
stem, and the stem-leaves not sagittate at the base, are sufficient 
to distinguish it at first sight ; the anthodes are twice as large, the 
achenes are much longer and narrower, and with more numerous 
ribs, and the pappus projects further beyond the phyllaries. 
In the first edition of " English Botany," No. 149, the fruit of 
C. taraxacifolia has been placed on the plate which contains a very 
characteristic figure of C. biennis.
