same size, being shorter and smaller than those of C. taraxa-
cifolia, t. 2929. It agrees however with the latter in having
the pappus supported on a contracted elongation of the fruit
itself, not, as in some genera of this tribe, a proper stipes articulated
with the fruit. This beak characterizes the Barfc-
hausia of Moench; but it appears to offer rather a sectional
than a generic distinction.
Crepis bannatica of Willdenow in the posthumous Suppl. to
his Enumeratio, p. 55, has been referred to C. setosa-, but
among some other discrepancies, he describes the cauline leaves
as never sagittate, and the calyculus as glabrous. Reichen-
bach, under “ BarMatisia seto sa quotes Crepis aspera, Suter.
There is no species so named in the FI. Helv. of Suter, but
the author mentions C. aspera to give his reasons for believing
it different from his own C. setosa (v. 2. p. 156). If this is
our plant, Suter seems to have given it independently the same
name as Haller. We have the authority of the latter author
for quoting his father’s n. 32. in the Hist. Stirp. Helv. published
in 1768, which appears to be the earliest notice of the
plant.—W. B.
