the Jura ......... IS 
13. Stem 3 — 15 cm, bearing 2—5 heads, leafless or only with 
1, often reduced, leaf in the lower part. Stolons 0 or 
short, rarely rather long. Ls often narrower and more 
acute than in the last, with stellate hairs which are 
found particularly at the edges and on the mid-nerve, 
sometimes very numerous on both sides. Inflorescence 
contracted or lax. Invol. always covered with long, fine, 
more or less numerous hairs. H. angustifolium Sprgl.

— Stem 20—30 cm, bearing 3—10 heads, with 1 fairly de¬ 
veloped leaf about the middle. Stolons always 0. Ls green.

binum (see 18), but not hybrid. H. densicapillum N. P.,

14. Ls covered above with bristle-like, very long and nu¬ 
merous, hairs, which are rare or wanting on the under¬ 
side. Invols almost globular, covered with very long, 
fine and numerous hairs, also invols cottony-villous as 
in the Barbata, H. piliferum and H. glanduliferum, but 
differing from these last distinctly in the ls being covered 
underneath with numerous stellate hairs. H. furcatum

14.. Stem erect, 30—70 cm, bearing 8—30 heads arranged in 
a more or less umbel-shaped, dense or lax corymb. Ls 
gen. with stellate hairs above (see var. b.). Stolons 0 
or under-ground and scaly. Species allied to H. cymosum 
sabinum by its habit, long hairs &c. but easily dis¬ 
tinguished by the colour of its fls. H. multiflorum 
Schleich ! H. cymosum rubellum auct., H. cymosum 
aurantiacum Gaud.—b. Guthnickianum Heg. Variety allied 
to H. aurantiacum by its habit and its inflorescence not 
being umbel-shaped and laxer; ls without stellate hairs 
*) H. niphobium N. P. is composed of intermediate forms, some hybrids, 
some not, between H. giaciale and H. Auricula.
