tance nearly parallel to the margins of the leaf. Anthodcs about 
the size of those of II. vulgatum. 
From the usual states of H. vulgatum, the absence of a rosette 
and the numerous stem-leaves sufficiently distinguish it. It differs 
from the more leafy forms in the anthodes being on longer and 
more slender pedicels ; the pericline more abrupt at the base ; the 
phyllaries broader and blunter, more glabrous, usually quite destitute 
of gland-tipped hairs and stellate down, except sometimes at the 
very base. 
From II. Gothicum, which it sometimes closely resembles, it 
differs in being of a brighter green and more hairy, especially on the 
lower part of the stem, petioles, and midribs of the leaves beneath. 
The pedicels are more slender and shorter ; the anthodes much 
smaller and more numerous ; the pericline less rounded at the 
base ; the phyllaries paler and wi^h more numerous hairs ; the 
achenes smaller ; the pappus more tinged with brown : and the true 
root-leaves, even when present in winter, always decay before spring.

Section III.— ACCIPITRINA. 
Rootstock not stoloniferous. Radical leaves none, the root- 
stock producing a bud which develops into a leafy stem, but 
never into a rosette ; stem with numerous leaves, the lower ones 
withering before the flower expands. Phyllaries irregularly im- 
bricated, or in 2 series with but few in the outer one. Achenes 
rather large, not crenulated at the apex. Pappus of unequal 
brittle rigid hairs. 
Group A.— UMBELLATA. 
Stem leafy, without a basal rosette, umbellato-corymbosely 
branched at the apex. Stem-leaves narrowed and not amplexieaul 
at the base, paler (but not glaucous) beneath, and with the network 
formed by the ultimate veins inconspicuous. Phyllaries numerous, 
imbricated in several rows, sub-glabrous, destitute of gland-tipped 
hairs, the outer ones squarrosc at the tips. Achenes chestnut- 
black when ripe.
