SPECIES XXXVL— HIERACIUM BORRERI. 
Plate DCCCLIX. 
H. denticulatum, Btyrrer, MS. (non Sm. Eng. Bot. nee Herb.). 
Stem leafy, corymbosely or subpaniculato-corymbosely branched 
at the apex, sparingly woolly below, and with black gland-tipped 
hairs above ; peduncles sparingly clothed with stellate down and 
rather thickly with black gland-tipped hairs. Leaves sparingly 
distributed over the stem up to the inflorescence; the lower ones 
oval, rather abruptly contracted into slender distinct petioles; 
intermediate ones regularly oval, narrowed at each end, amplex- 
icaul at the base, with rounded auricles, acute ; uppermost ones 
ovate or ovate-lanceolate, amplexicaul, sub-acuminate ; all sub- 
entire, or denticulate in the middle with the teeth remote and 
often reduced merely to callous points, green, sub-glabrous or with 
short hairs above, glaucous beneath, with the network formed by 
the ultimate veins very distinct, with moderately long hairs on 
the veins and margins, and sometimes with distant short hairs 
all over the lower surface. Anthodes very small, rather numerous, 
in a corymb, or very short panicle terminated by a corymb, with 
slender short diverging pedicels, which are usually furnished 
with a few bracts beneath the anthode. Pericline ob-conical at 
the base ; phyllaries few, in two irregular series ; the outer ones 
very few, short, lax, subacute ; the inner ones with pale mar- 
gins, subacute; all blackish- olive, thickly clothed with short black 
hairs and gland-tipped hairs, and a little stellate down. Ligules 
ciliated at the apex. Styles yellow. Achenes pale reddish-brown. 
In llarehead AVood, near Selkirk (Dickson) ; but it has not 
been found since his time. 
Scotland ? Perennial. Late Summer. 
This plant is certainly very nearly allied to H. prenanthoides ; 
but in cultivation alongside of it 11. Eorreri appears much more 
slender, the stems 12 to 18 inches high, with fewer leaves, and these 
decreasing rapidly in size upwards from a little below the first 
branches of tin 4 inflorescence. The Leaves are much broader, and of 
;i more regularly oval figure; the lowest ones abruptly contracted 
into the petiole, not gradually, as in 11. prenanthoides ; those in the 
middle of the stem not contracted immediately above the base, bid 
gradually enlarging to the middle, and again narrowing to the 
point, with a regular curve throughout ; uppermost leaves with the 
broadest pari not so immediately above the base, so that they are
