FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE. 
101 
Var. incisum, Tausch. Reekv Linn, and in various places 
amonor the Clova mountains, as the Falls of Feula, Glen 
Dole, Carlowie, &c. Generally a foot or more high with 
large ovato-lanceolate leaves, much cut about the base ; heads 
of flowers from one to seven. 
Var. maculatum. Rocks of Carlowie, Glen Dole, Can- 
lochen, and other parts of the Clova and Glen Isla moun- 
tains, not unfrequent, though less so than in the Braemar 
district, Aberdeenshire. 
Var. qlabrum (£. Hook.) In the ravine formed by the 
White Water at the head of Glen Dole, Clova, rare. Five 
to six inches high, bearing a single head of flowers. Leaves 
glabrous above, apiculated, and very slightly denticulated, 
except at the base, where a few strong teeth give some of 
them almost a saggitate appearance.

Reeky Linn. Clova, frequent, as Carlowie, Bassies, Glen 
Dole, &c. Canlochen. Varying in height from eight inches 
to two feet, and in the amount of pubescence. Generally 
the large heads of flowers, densely silky petioles, and gradu- 
ally tapering bases of the leaves, distinguish this plant from 
its allies, but in some specimens there is an apparent transi- 
tion to the incised var. of H. murorum , the bases of the 
leaves terminating rather abruptly, and somewhat toothed. 
H. nigrescens, Willd. (Wats. Phytologist i. 801, ii. 442. 
Bab . do. i. 865. Borr. do. ii. 486. — H. pulmonarium , Sm.) 
Rocks of Clova and Canlochen frequent. On Carlowie 
mountain I found it from six to fifteen inches high, with one 
or two heads of flowers, stem-leaves two, radical several 
elliptical, all with a few strong teeth. Specimens gathered 
in Glen Dole had three stem-leaves, and the radical ones 
broadly elliptical, and about the Falls of Feula it was picked 
from five to fifteen inches high, with from one to nine heads 
of flowers, in some instances the leaves nearly rotundate, in 
others elliptic-lanceolate. The involucres and peduncles in all 
almost black, the hairs short, pale only at their points, and 
copiously intermixed with glands.
