south-eastern side of Canlochen Glen, Forfarshire ; head of Glen 
Callater, Aberdeenshire ; Ben Voirlich, Dumbartonshire ; and Maol 
Ghyrdy, Perthshire. 
Scotland. Perennial. Autumn. 
Of this plant I have seen but few specimens. Dr. Walker- 
Arnott, in the " British Flora," unites it with H. chrysanthum, 
from which it differs in habit, in its oval and evenly and slightly 
dentate leaves, which have frequently small gland-tipped projec- 
tions scarcely deserving to be called teeth, and in the stem being 
taller and more naked. The phyllaries are blunter and have more 
abundant stellate down, especially at the tips. 
Fries quotes, with a mark of admiration, under H. atratum : 
" II. senescens, Backh. ! p. 32, var. lsete viridis, foliis mollioribus.' , 
Grey Ungulate-leaved Hawkiceed.

Stem simple or corymbosely branched at the apex, with scat- 
tered black-based hairs (of which the white points appear to be 
brittle) above intermixed with stellate down and a very few gland- 
tipped hairs, beneath with simple white hairs. Radical leaves sub- 
coriaceous, oblong-oblanceolate, or elliptical-oblanceolate, gradu- 
ally contracted into very short indistinct broadly-winged woolly 
petioles, acute (or the outer ones obtuse), remotely denticulate or 
dentate, or nearly entire, rough on the upper surface with stiff 
woolly hairs, below and on the margins with soft woolly hairs. Stem 
with 2 or 3 rather large lanceolate sessile or semi-amplexicaul leaves. 
Anthodes solitary, or more often 2 or 3 in a corymb. Pericline 
hemispherical at the base, at length truncate ; phyllaries rather 
narrow, acute, straight and projecting in bud ; outer ones very few, 
small, adpressed ; all nearly black, sparingly clothed with short 
black-based hairs and gland-tipped hairs. Florets sub-glabrous 
externally, very slightly pilose at the tips. Styles livid. Plant 
i n. 
Abundant in high alpine glens, at an elevation of 1,500 to 
2,500 feet. In the Clova, Braemar, and Breadalbane districts, and 
in Western Inverness.
