Bather common. In Wales, the Lake district, Tccsdale, and most 
of the hilly districts in Scotland, even as low as Salisbury Craigs, 
Edinburgh, and descending to a little ahove the level of the sea at 
the Waulk-mill Bay, Orphir, Orkney. It also occurs in Ireland. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Summer 
and Autumn. 
Stem 6 inches to 2 feet high, rather rigid, sometimes with a few 
white hairs at the base, and then nearly glabrous up to the point 
where it commences to branch, usually with a single leaf about the 
middle, or a little below it. Radical leaves generally tapering 
towards each end, generally denticulate or dentate towards the base, 
but sometimes with the teeth projecting considerably in the base 
and middle of the leaf, the terminal portion entire ; petioles gene- 
rally woolly, especially at the base. Anthodes commonly 3 or 4, but 
varying from 1 to 13, moderately large, considerably smaller than 
in any of the preceding Pulmonarea. 
This plant, in its usual form, is very distinct from all the pre- 
ceding, but some states rather closely resemble some of those of 
II. Anglicum. It has, however, the leaves smaller, usually narrower, 
and more abrupt at the base, and commonly more distinctly ciliated 
with long hairs at the margins ; the stem is more slender and brittle, 
much more glabrous ; the peduncles shorter and straighter ; the 
phyllaries not nearly so dark, and the anthodes considerably smaller.

Stem scape-like, corymbosely branched at the apex, sparingly 
clothed with long white hairs, and (especially in the upper part) 
stellate down, the upper part and peduncles with short black gland- 
tipped hairs. Radical leaves oval-oblong, abruptly contracted into 
short densely-woolly petioles, subacute (the outer ones obtuse), 
entire or denticulate, especially towards the base, rough with 
stellate down and sparingly clothed with long stiff woolly hairs 
on both sides, or at least below, and densely ciliated with the same 
on the margins ; stem leafless, or with a single small strapshaped- 
lanceolate sessile bract-like leaf near the middle. Anthodes rather
