late or obovate, attenuated into more or less distinct petioles; 
intermediate one narrowly oblong-elliptical or oval-oblong, rounded 
and sub-semiamplexicaul at the base, gradually attenuated and 
acute at the apex ; uppermost ones lanceolate or ovate, rounded 
but scarcely amplexicaul at the base, acuminate and attenuated at 
the apex ; all more or less denticulate with the teeth remote and 
frequently reduced merely to callous points, sub-glabrous above, 
pale and glaucous beneath, with the network formed by the 
ultimate veins rather indistinct, sparingly hairy on the veins and 
margins, with the hairs rather stiff and moderately long. Anthodes 
moderately large, rather few, in a corymb or short panicle ter- 
minated by a corymb, with rather slender ascending straight 
peduncles generally furnished with a few minute bracts, which do 
not pass gradually into the outer phyllaries. Pericline truncate 
at the base ; phyllaries rather numerous, sub - obtuse, the inner 
ones rather broader and more obtuse than the others, with paler 
margins ; all dark-olive, sparingly clothed, especially along the 
middle line, with black-based and a few black gland-tipped hairs, 
generally finely and very shortly ciliated on the margins when 
young. Ligules slightly ciliated at the apex. Styles livid-yellow. 
Achenes chestnut.

England, Scotland, Ireland. Perennial. Autumn. 
This species I have never gathered, and am very imperfectly 
acquainted with. The few specimens of it whioh I have seen pre- 
sent considerable difference in the breadth of the leaves ; examples 
from the Ochills having them as broad as those of II. corymbosum 
or 1 1 . boreale ; but in the Wenslcydale specimens they closely resem- 
ble those of H. crocatum. The intermediate leaves of both forms 
are more amplexicaul and much less strongly toothed than in H. 
boreale, besides being glaucous beneath ; the peduncles are stiffer 
ami have rarely the bracts passing insensibly into phyllaries, as in 
that plant; the anthodes are fewer, and the phyllaries have pale 
margins, andare rarely destitute of at least a few gland-tipped hairs. 
From II. crocatum it may be known by the leaves being less 
strongly toothed, less amplexicaul, the upper ones scarcely at all
