Group P.— PSEUDO-ACCIPITRINA (Pscuclo- 
pulmonaria, Fries). 
Plant slightly glaucous, sub-glabrous, or sparingly hairy, with 
simple non-glandular hairs. Radical leaves in an imperfect 
rosette, rarely surviving the winter, and almost always decayed 
by the time of flowering ; sometimes absent. Stem - leaves 
numerous; the lower ones sub-petiolate, the upper sessile, not 
amplcxicaul. Phyllaries irregularly imbricated, sub-glabrous or 
sparingly clothed with short hairs, more rarely with stellate 
down, nearly or entirely destitute of black gland-tipped hairs. 
Achenes rather large, brownish-black.

Stem leafy, corymbosely or paniculato-corymbosely branched 
at the apex, sub-glabrous or sparingly clothed with long simple 
hairs ; the upper part and peduncles with a little stellate down 
and a few black gland-tipped hairs. Radical leaves usually de- 
cayed before flowering ; stem-leaves several or numerous, variable 
in breadth, some of them occasionally aggregated near the base, 
forming a pseudo-rosette ; lower ones elliptical or oval, attenuated 
at the base and petiolate ; intermediate ones strapshaped-ellip- 
tical or oval-elliptical, narrowed towards the base and apex ; 
upper ones sessile, not amplexicaul, lanceolate acute ; all more or 
less coarsely serrate towards the middle, with the teeth distant 
and often elongated, entire at the apex, sub-glabrous above, fre- 
quently sparingly hairy beneath, or only ciliated at the margins 
and on the midrib beneath. Anthodes rather large, usually 
few (3 to 5) in a corymb, or numerous in a corymbose- 
topped panicle, on straight stout elongated ascending or erect 
peduncles. Pcricline hemispherical at the base, ovate-conical 
alter flowering ; phyllaries numerous, obtuse, the inner ones 
narrower, dark olive-green, nearly glabrous, or with a few short 
uland-tipped or simple whitish hairs on the middle line, sometimes 
with a little stellate down towards the base. Florets glabrous, 
not ciliated at the apex. Styles livid-yellow or yellow.
