Information
rootstock perennial, emitting many fibres; leaves radical, petioled, white beneath, above and on the reflexed margins and often on the midrib beneath hispid (rarely glabrous), pinnatipartite (some entire), lobes oval-oblong or linear, 2–6–8 pair, subdecurrent; pedunc. not much longer than the leaves, hirsute or smooth; inv. campanulate, truncate at base, hispid or glabrous, the segments in 2–3 rows, all lanceolato-subulate, much acuminate, nerved, the outer leafy, rigidly ciliate, inner glabrous or softly ciliate. Leaves 3–5–8 in. long, more or less pinnate, very generally hispid above, rarely quite glabrous; lobes 3–10 l. long, 1–3 l. wide. In an original specimen marked by Lessing (Hb. Sd.) the inv. is quite glabrous and the pedunc. roughly setose; Mr. Wright's specimens vary with glabrous or hispid involucres.

Notes
I regret that I have not seen specimens of our first four varieties, which I venture to refer here, from the descriptions given of their involucres by their authors: foliage is a most uncertain character in this genus.
