bnes, frequently finely and very shortly ciliated on the margins. 
Ligules glabrous, not ciliated at the apex. Styles livid. Achencs 
chestnut.

Tcrsdale ; Clova ; banks of Clunie, at Castleton of Braemar ; 
Kinu'ussee, Inverness-shire; banks of Loch Tay, Perthshire ; Glen 
Arid", county Antrim. 
England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Autumn. 
Stem stout, slightly flexuous, 1 to 4 feet high, generally reddish 
below. Leaves resembling those of II. boreale, but the upper 
ones decidedly clasping at the base, much more glabrous, slightly 
glaucous beneath, with mucli shorter hairs on the veins and 
margins, and with the ultimate veins more distinct. Peduncles 
more densely clothed with stellate hairs, and with fewer bracts 
which rarely become crowded, immediately below the anthodes 
pass gradually into phyllaries as in II. boreale. Anthodes larger, 
fewer, and in a more lax corymb, with the pedicels less upright ; 
brandies showing scarcely any disposition to a racemose arrangement 
beneath the terminal corymb. Pericline broader at the base and 
more conical after flowering ; phyllaries with paler edges and rather 
more numerous hairs. Achenes paler. Pappus more tawny. 
There are none of the other preceding species with which it 
can be confounded, but it certainly approaches very closely to the 
following species. „ 7 tt ? i

Stem very leafy, corymbosely or paniculato - corymbosely 
branched at the apex, sub-glabrous, frequently clothed with soft 
woolly hairs on the lower part and with a very little stellate 
down in the upper, and rather densely stellately-downy on the 
peduncles, but with few or no gland-tipped hairs. Leaves 
distributed over the whole stem, the lower ones narrowly oblan- 
ceolate, attenuated into indistinct winged petioles ; intermediate 
ones narrowly oblong-elliptical, rounded and semi-amplexicaul at 
the base, very gradually attenuated towards the apex and sub- 
acute; uppermost ones lanceolate, rounded and semi-amplexicaul 
at the base, attenuated and acute at the apex ; all more or less ser- 
rate-denticulate in the middle with the teeth remote and frequently
