L. His r PiDUM. (Stalks naked, single-flowered: E.) all the scales of 
the calyx upright: leaves toothed, very entire, hispid, bristle¬ 
like hairs forked. 
Curt. 314— {E. Bot. 554. E.)— FI. Dan. 862— The figures of the older Bo¬ 
tanists are not sufficiently exact to allow of determining whether they intended 
them for this or the next species. 
Leaves on leaf-stalks, spear-shaped, somewhat hoary; hairs forked and 
simple. Seeds slender, rough, striated, the upper part of the ridges 
toothed, the lower warty; as long as the down. Woodw. Root as if 
bitten off. Stalk six to sixteen inches high. ( Flowers drooping in the bud, 
bright yellow ; florets of the circumference greenish on the outside. E.) 
The floral-leaf' mentioned by Linnseus as discriminating this species from 
L. hirtum , which has no such appendage, is not always present.

Curt. —(E. Bot. 555. E.)— FI. Dan. 901. 
Leaves rather stiff, and as it were dry to the touch, and the central parts 
very much curled when dry; segment oblique; the hairs undivided at 
the point. Calyx pendent before flowering, channelled when the seeds 
are ripe: the outermost scales dilated on each side at the base, with a 
fold between. Blossom , the florets of the circumference yellow under¬ 
neath, and not greenish. Linn. Stem six inches high. Seeds of the cir¬ 
cumference crowned with shallow leafy scales, instead of down; those 
of the centre with a feathered down. Hall. A much smaller plant than 
L. hispidum , calyx smooth, leaves hairy. In L. autumnale the calyx 
is hairy and the leaves smooth. Afzel. The want of down to the outer 
row of seeds sufficiently distinguishes this plant from its congeners. 
Flowers yellow.
