leafy, terminated by a rooting rosette! (as in H. Auri¬

stolons, but sometimes producing in the axils of the 
rosette-ls rad., ascending, and flower-bearing branches, 
like lateral stems ....... 20 
20. Inflorescence panicled (/. e. with all the branches se¬ 
parated). Stem solid or slightly hollow. Ls (lanceolate, 
acute) almost always without stellate hairs above and 
gen. very few underneath; upper ls without glands. A 
very variable species.—A. Branches of the inflorescence 
arched-ascending after flowering; peduncles slender with¬ 
out long non-glandiferous or stellate hairs, or the latter 
not numerous, but always with glandiferous hairs; heads 
very small (the smallest of the genus); Is always with¬ 
out. stellate hairs: a. piloselloid.es Vill. — B. Branches 
straight or almost so after flowering; peduncles gen. 
stronger, with or without long non-glandiferous hairs, but 
always with numerous stellate hairs and with or without 
glandiferous hairs ; heads larger (II. prsealtum Excursfl.). 
—I. Invols with more or less numerous blackish, glanduli- 
ferous hairs, but with few or no long hairs: b. obscurum 
Rehb. (here as an alpine variety slender, reduced, with 
black invols; v. Berninse Grisb.).—II. Invols with gland, 
hairs more or less pale, less numerous and less visible. 
— 1. Ls with numerous stellate hairs, but with short 
(bristly) simple hairs: c. mite Gaud.! —2. Ls with long, 
more or less numerous, bristly hairs, with no, or few, 
stellate hairs: d. hirsutum Grml. (fallax Dec. not Willd.'"'*) 
—3. Ls with no bristly hairs or only at the edges and 
on the middle nerve of the under side; invols with few 
or no long hairs: e. prcealtum Vill. —4. As the last, but 
invols with numerous long hairs; inflorescence very lax, 
*) Our form resembles an H. prsealtum (florentinum) stoloniferum. The 
typical form which resembles an H. piloselloides stolonifere, is found chiefly 
in Austria and Hungary. H. Auricula Scbleich. herb.! ought to be mentioned 
here (without indication of locality), and H. prsealtum auriculoides Griseb.— H. 
auriculoides Lang (prsealtum setosum Koch p., H. hispidissimum Fr.) = H. 
pannonicum N. P. = H. Bauhini-echioides. 
*) H. fallax Willd. = H. cymosum-echioides.— H. praealtum hirsutum 
Koch, at least in part, = H. calodon Tausch. = H. echioides-florentinum.
