SYNGENESIA. iEQUALIS. Hieracium, 899 
(Shaggy Alpine Hawkweed. E.) Found by Mr. Dickson amongst wet 
rocks on Ben Nevis, Scotland. Linn. Tr. vol. ii. 286. On rocks near 
Loch Callater, north of Clova. Mr. T> Drummond. Eng. FI. Clefts of 
Rocks near Meer Gill, at the foot of Ingleborough, Yorkshire. Mr. Caley, 
(who since conjectures his plant may prove a new species, unless it be 
H. alpinum. E.) P. Aug. 
( H . Halleri, thus characterised: “ Stem erect, with one or two flowers, 
slightly leafy; leaves hairy; lower ones obovate-oblong, stalked, toothed; 
upper lanceolate, much diminished; calyx shaggy.” Considered by 
Smith as decidedly distinct both from II. villosum and alpinum, for which 
latter it has sometimes been mistaken; but it appears to be a somewhat 
taller plant; with the calyx, according to Hooker, having u long silky 
hairs, principally near the margins of the scales ,”—“ by no means shaggy 
like II. alpinum —with a flower of a full golden yellow, not lemon-co¬ 
loured like H. villosum Sm., is said to have been found by Mr. G. Don 
on Clova mountains, in the Highlands of Scotland.—In a recent number 
of that most accurate, elegant, and, as far as merit can establish such a 
title, truly national work, the Flora Londinevsis, Professor Hooker gives 
a representation of H. Halleri, (t. 215,) but considerable discrepancy 
may still be detected in the different accounts of this plant. The above 
learned author remarks, This, however, like all the other species of 
the genus, is liable to much variety in the size of the plant and especially 
in the breadth and toothing of the leaves;” and, in allusion to H. Law- 
soni, murorum, villosum, and alpinum , admits that he “ can find no 
limits to any of the characters.” E.) 
H. mol'le. Leaves soft, spear-shaped, nearly entire, (semi-amplexi- 
caul: E.) lower ones on leaf-stalks: flowers on fruit-stalks 
nearly forming a corymb. 
Dicks. H. S. — Jacq. Austr. 119—( E. Hot. 2210. E.) 
Stem upright, unbranched, one or two feet high, scored, purplish, leafy,, 
somewhat hairy. Fruit-stalks terminal, few, one or two-flowered, one 
inch and a half long. Leaves oval, blunt, hairy on both sides, soft, the 
upper sitting, the lower tapering into leaf-stalks. Calyx not tiled. 
Leafits dark green, hairy, uniform. Flowers deep yellow. Seeds red¬ 
dish, scored. It approaches H. murorum, and sometimes grows along 
with it, but it differs in the colour of the flowers, the number of leaves 
on the stem, and is truly distinct. Jacq. (Remarkable for obtuse radical 
leaves, which taper gradually into a long foot-stalk. Scales of the invo¬ 
lucre (calyx) with a few black glandular hairs. Hook. E.)
