tinctly ciliated at the apex. Styles livid. Plant glaucous.

In Upper Tcesdale, both on the Yorkshire and Durham sides of 
the Tees ; banks of the Clunie near Castleton, also above the 
Lynn of Dec, and ravine on the southern shore of Loch Muick, 
Braemar; near the Grey-Mare' s-Tail, Dumfriesshire; Ben Bulben, 
co. Sligo ; Twelve Pins of Bennabola, and on the Eagle Mountain, 
Conncmara ; Garron Head, co. Antrim. Mr. Backhouse thinks a 
plant in my herbarium, collected on Hoy Hill, Orkney, also belongs 
to this species ; it, however, is in too early a stage of growth for 
him to be certain whether the specimens ought to be referred to 
H. Iricum or to H. Anglicum. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Autumn. 
Stem stout, 1 to 2 feet high, rigid. Leaves firm ; lowest stem- 
leaf with the base not enlarged, which is sometimes the case in 
H. Anglicum ; those in the middle of the stem semi-amplexicaul, 
the upper ones smaller and acuminate. Anthodes large, 3 to 8. 
Phyllaries, or at least tho outer ones, rather obtuse, with fewer 
hairs than in H. Anglicum, and with these more confined to a strip 
down the middle of the phyllary. 
This is a stouter plant than H. Anglicum, with shorter petioles 
and larger anthodes ; and the stem-leaves are always more numerous 
and more decidedly amplexicaul.
