yellow. Linn. Three or four inches high. Whole plant set with long 
hairs, especially the fruit-stalk and the calyx. Leaves tapering down¬ 
wards into long leaf-stalks. Fruit-stalks but little longer than the leaves. 
( Root rather woody. E.) 
Mountain Hawkweed. Mountains, near the summits in dry soil. Rocks 
on Glyder and Trigfylchau near Llanberris. Llyn y Cwn, near Snowdon. 
Pennant. (Rocks on Ben Bourde; on Malghyrdy, Ben Lawers, and 
Lochain y Gair. Mr. Brown. E.) P. July—Aug. 
H. Tarax'aci. Leaves spear-shaped, runcinate, smooth: stalk almost 
naked, (swollen towards the top : E.) calyx shaggy. 
(E. Bot. 1109. E.)— Retz. 4. 2—Allion. 31.1. 
Leaves so much like those of Leontodon autumnale, and the stalk and. flowers 
so exactly resembling those of If. alpinum, that if the stalk and flower of 
the latter were added to the leaves of the former, a fair specimen of the 
plant in question would be produced. Stalk (three to six inches high, 
E.) with the minute rudiments of leaves, hairy, thickening towards the 
(yellow, E.) flower, swelling at the end, like the calyx, with brown 
hairs. Linn. (The fructification of Taraxaci, on accurate examination, 
will be found far too dissimilar to that of T. alpinum , to allow of the con¬ 
jecture that it might prove a hybrid offspring from the latter. E.) Down 
sessile, decidedly feathery, (which, rather than simple,” would refer 
this plant, according to the new arrangement, to the genus Apargia . E.)

re-discovered by T. Wynne Griffith, Esq. E.)

above Llyn y Cwn. Mr. Griffith. E.) P. July—(Aug. E.) 
(2) Stalk naked, many-flowered. 
H. du^bium. Leaves nearly entire, egg-oblong, obtuse, hairy: suckers 
creeping: (calyx bristly. E.) 
{E. Bot. 2332. E.)—-Fl. Dan. 1044. 
Leaves longer and narrower than in II. pilosella, slightly concave, hairy on 
both sides, but more sparingly so than in H. pilosella, green above, grey¬ 
ish, but not cottony, underneath. Stalks six to nine inches high, upright, 
nearly smooth below, with mostly two flowers, rarely one. Pedicles 
equal, wide apart, as the calyxes clothed with hairs, bearing black glo¬ 
bules. Florets pale-yellow on both sides. Seeds oval, scored; down 
sessile, as long as the calyx. Such were the appearances in June and 
July, but in autumn as follows:— Suckers throwing out branches, and 
terminated by a flowering stem. Branches not rooting, with alternate 
leafy branches. Stem declining at the base, with five and six flowers. 
Fruit-stalks alternate. Floral-leaves spear-shaped, one at the base of 
each flower, and similar ones on the fruit-stalks. Cultivated some years 
in my garden. The roots received from the North of England for H. du+ 
hium. It approaches nearest to that species, and is, I apprehend, that 
plant, though somewhat varied. Woodw.
