76 The VEGETABLE SYSTEM. 
It has been a cuftom to divide this numerous Genus according 
to their naked or leafy Stalks : but the diftinCtion between Leaf and 
Film upon the Hawkweed Stalk is too indeterminate : Culture alfo 
will fometimes give an extraordinary branch ; and a poor foil will 
withhold the ulual Films. We muft therefore depend on the fpeci- 
fic diftinCtions which are founded on more liable parts, and will not 
vary.

covered very thick with long white hairs : the Stalk is two feet high : 
the Flowers are yellow. 
The Leaves of this Plant vary greatly : they are broader or nar- 
rower, and more or lefs indented, according to the fituation ; but the 
eflential characters continue always the fame.
