COMPOSITE. 1G7 
Radical loaves few, hut there arc generally 2 or 3 crowded at 
the base of the stem, from 2 to G inches long, sub-petiolate ; those 
above the hase of the stem quite sessile. Upper half of the stem 
Leafless, or with 1 or 2 minute bracts. Stem 9 to 18 inches high, 
sparingly clothed with stellate down, hlack gland-tipped hairs, and 
long black-based hairs ; peduncles and phyllaries thickly clothed 
w it li these hairs. Anthodes 3 to 12 in a corymb, at first very com-

purplish-black.

Section II. — PULMONAREA (including Aurella, Fries). 
Rootstock not stoloniferous. Leaves chiefly in a radical rosette, 
and usually persistent until the time of flowering. Stem gene- 
rally with few leaves. Phyllaries irregularly imbricated. Achenes 
large, or rather large, not crenulated at the apex. Pappus of 
unequal rigid brittle hairs. 
Group A.— ALPINA. 
Plant green, more rarely slightly glaucous, not viscid-glandular. 
Ilairs simple ; neck of the rootstock not densely woolly. Radical 
leaves in a rosette, persistent until after flowering. Stem scape- 
like, with leaves usually few and often bract-like. Phyllaries 
dark-olive or nearly black, clothed with shaggy wool or silky 
hairs, often intermixed with gland-tipped hairs. Ligules more or

Stem simple, or slightly branched at the apex, sparingly clothed 
with stellate down and simple black-based hairs, densely so in 
the upper part, where there are also short black gland-tipped 
hairs. Radical leaves oval or broadly elliptical-obovate, somewhat 
abruptly narrowed into broad petioles, rather obtuse, coarsely and 
remotely dentate ; the primordial ones suborbicular ; stem-leaves 
few, often only 1 above the middle of the stem, small, sessile,
