Hypochaeris radicata L.

Hypochaeris radicata L. Sp. Pl. 811. 1753.
A plant not recorded as growing in the Hawaiian group. It
is about twenty inches high, with smooth, slender stem, branch-
ing above, and destitute of leaves, which are all crowded to-
gether as a bunch of prostrate lyrate root leaves. The yellow
heads are an inch in diameter. Collected on the plateau above
Waimea, Kauai. It grows on the edge of the forest, at 4000
feet elevation, and must have been introduced in some way
from Australia, as it grows in that country.
September 30 (2835); original locality, "in Europae cultoris
pascuis."
