Th i Hieracium mMlatum grows on dry, Tandy, or gravelly heaths, and m uncultivated places near London: 
in fu 7 h fixations and in fuel? only, we have obferved it about Hampftead, Barnet, and Charlton: m the old 
fend plrnear the bottom of the lane leading down from Charlton-Church, on the left-hand fide, it may be found 
“fvaries e Sze from one to three feet or more: in the fmaller fpecimens the leaves are more entire, fre- 
„uendv“wethe;-ro and the flalk is fometimes fimple and umflorous; in the- larger ones the ftalkismuch
