truncate at the base. Phyllaries acute, dark-olive, with rather 
long and stilt' white hairs with black bases ; outer ones lax. 
Florets hairy externally and at the tips. Styles livid, yellow in 
var. 3- Plant green. 
Var. a, genu'uunii. 
H. villosum, Sm. Eng. Bot. No. 2379. 
Stem elongated, 6 to 15 inches high. Ptadical leaves elliptical- 
oblanceolate, generally toothed. Styles livid. 
Var. 0, tenellum. Back. 
Stem 4 to 8 inches high, more slender than in var. a. Radical 
leaves narrower, usually entire. Pericline smaller, of a darker colour. 
Styles vellow. 
On cliffs at an elevation of 2,000 to 3,000 feet. Not uncommon 
on the mica-slate rocks of the Clova district and head of Glen 
Callater, rare on the granite, where it occurs sparingly on Loch- 
na-gar, Ben-na-bourd, and Little Craigindal, Aberdeenshire, and 
Ben Alder, Inverness-shire ; var. (3 on granitic mountains of the 
Cairngorum range. I have gathered it on Cairntowl and Loch- 
na-gar, and Mr. Backhouse on cliffs of Ben-na-main, above Loch 
Awn, Ben-na-bourd and Little Craigindal (Braemar), Caness, and 
clitfs above Loch Ceanndin (?), Forfarshire. 
Scotland. Perennial. Autumn. 
Extremely like H. calenduliflorum, with which Dr. Walker 
rnott is probably right in combining it. The leaves, how- 
ever, are longer, narrower, and more acute ; the teeth are gene- 
rally smaller, and when large, point forward and not outward, as 
in II. calenduliflorum. The anthodes are considerably smaller ; the 
pericline generally about \ inch long, scarcely so dark in colour, 
and with the phyllaries not so numerous. Mr. Backhouse states 
that the leaves are entire when growing on crumbling rock and 
toothed when on hard rock. 
Var. 3 is considered a distinct species by Professor Grenier. 
Grey-headed Hawfaceed.
