186 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
small, 2 to 6, in a corymb. Pericline hemispherical at the base; 
phyllaries rather few, acute, dark-olive, with copious stellate down 
and a few long simple white or black-based hairs, and a small 
number of black gland-tipped hairs. Florets glabrous, not ciliated. 
Styles yellow. Plant ash-colour. 
" In heathy alpine glens, at an elevation of 1,000 to 2,500 feet. 
Bare. Near Llyn Ogwen, Carnarvonshire ; Craig-Breidden, Mont- 
gomeryshire ; Glen Dole and ravine of the White "Water, Clova 
Mountains, Forfarshire ; near Castleton of Braemar, ravine de- 
scending from Ben-na-bourd, and Little Craigindal, Aberdeenshire" 
(Back. I.e.) ; " Rocks at Bonas Voe, Shetland (Mr. Tate) ; Ben 
Bulbcn Sligo ; and cliffs south of Glenarm " (Dr. Dickie). 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Autumn. 
Stem 8 to 20 inches high, rigid. Badical leaves rounded at the 
base, the inner ones generally acute, the outer very blunt, often 
a\ Iiitish below, from the abundance of stellate pubescence. Anthodcs 
considerably smaller than those of H. pallidum. Leaves generally 
with long bulbous-based hairs on both sides and on the margin. 
Pericline greyish, from the abundance of white stellate down. 
This species I have never collected, and of it I have seen but 
few specimens ; but it seems quite distinct from H. pallidum, having 
more the habit of II. murorum, but differing from it in the harsh 
bulbous-based hairs, grey leaves clothed with copious stellate down, 
and the yellow styles. 
H. lasiophyllum (Koch) is unknown to me except by description, 
and neither Mr. Backhouse nor Professor Babington appears to 
have seen authentic specimens. Fries, on the other hand, who 
has cultivated the II. lasiophyllum from seeds sent him by Koch, 
considers it distinct from H. cinerescens. All the authors quoted 
above agree that our plant is the H. cinerescens of Jordan, and it 
is identical with specimens I have received under that name from 
Piedmont (Rostan), Dauphin6 (Gariod), but quite different from a 
planl from Lyons (Martin), though the nomenclature of the last 
La affirmed to be authenticated by M. Jordan himself.
