80 (75). Middle and upper Is broad, oval, broadly rounded 
at the base, or almost half-clasping, acute and furnished 
with acute teeth. Most of the invol. Is appressed. Re¬

— Middle and upper Is lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, 
more rarely (v. linarifolium) almost linear, more or less 
narrowed at the base, rarely (v. latifolium) oval-lanceo¬ 
late or almost oval. Some of the invol. Is with spread- 
ing-reflexed tops. Varied also: Is with 3—5 prominent 
teeth, almost pectinate (v. coronopifolium Bernh.); also: 
dwarf form, with broad Is, and not many heads (v. La- 
ctaris auct.).—b. monticola Jord.! (sestivum G. G. not 
Fr.). Stem lower, heads less numerous; invols darker; 
achenes red-brown; flowering almost a month earlier.

*) Among the forms mentioned here, H. adriaticum, albipedunculum 
auriculiforme, braohycomum, floribundum, hypeuryum, latisquamum, niphobium, 
permutatum, rubrum, substoloniflorum, trichodes and Umbella are considered 
by Nageli and Peter to be, some at any rate, not hybrids ; but it is only 
by locality, and by considering the associations of the legitimate species 
among which they are found that any attempt can be made to determine their 
origin. Otherwise, the celebrated authors of the monograph consider also that 
H. cruentum, furcatum, fuscum, Laggeri and Zizianum (which appear as species 
in this work) are intermediate forms, not hybrids, not seeing the legitimate 
species (types, “Hauptarten”) except in the 12 others. —In other respects, in 
order to determine these intermediate forms with any certainty, it is absolutely 
necessary, to begin with, to know perfectly the true species and their variations! 
**) H. stoloniflorum Koch et auct. plur. = II. fiagellare Willd., a 
species belonging to eastern Germany, intermediate between H. collinum and 
II. Pilosella. 
***) Differing from II. brachiatum (fiorentinum-Pilosella) in its slenderer 
build, its ascending stems, its gen. more or less spathulate Is, and its hairs 
being less stiff.
