190 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
near the base. Anthodes rather small, 3 to 17, in an umbellate 
corymb with the peduncles erect. Pericline ovate at the base ; 
phyllaries few, obtuse, olive-green, rather sparingly clothed with 
stellate down, intermixed with a few short black simple and 
gland-tipped hairs. Florets glabrous. Styles yellow. Plant dull- 
green. 
Margins of alpine streamlets at an elevation of 2,500 to 
3,000 feet. Rare. Cairntowl, Little Craigindal, and cliffs above 
the Dhuloch, Braemar. 
Scotland. Perennial. Autumn. 
Stem 12 to 20 inches high, rather rigid, terminated by a 
number of elongated peduncles springing from nearly the same 
point, so that the anthodes are sub-umbellate and closely packed 
together, which is the chief point of difference between this species 
and H. murorum, although the papilla3 on the style are usually 
yellow, while in H. murorum they are dark, so as to give the style 
a livid appearance ; but Mr. Backhouse says that the styles even 
in II. aggregatum are sometimes clothed with a few minute 
darker hairs. I have never gathered it. 
According to Mr. Backhouse, Dr. Grenier refers H. aggregatum 
to H. bifidum (Kitaibel), a species which I have not seen, and the 
descriptions of it do not mention the peculiar umbellate arrange- 
ment of the anthodes.

Stem scape-like, corymbosely branched at the apex, suo- 
glabrous below or sparingly clothed with stellate down and white 
simple soft woolly hairs, the upper part more densely so, and, as 
well as the peduncles, with numerous rather long scattered black 
gland-tipped hairs. Radical leaves rather thin, oval or ovate or 
ovate-oblong, usually truncate or sub-cordate at the base, not 
attenuated into the moderately long woolly petioles, obtuse or 
acute, denticulate or more or less strongly toothed, often with 
sharp spreading or runcinate teeth towards the base, with soft 
hairs on both sides, or glabrous above, destitute of stellate down; 
stem usually with only 1 leaf, more rarely with 2, 3, or more,
