8. L. corsicum (Less.) DC. , Prodr. 6: 47 (1838).

Stems 20-60 cm, usually simple, somewhat pubescent. Basal and lower cauline leaves lobed to pinnatipartite; middle cauline leaves pinnatilobed to 2-pinnatisect, with ovate to linear, mucronate to aristate segments. Capitula 2-3 cm in diameter; involucral bracts with a brownish-black margin. Pappus of ligulate florets a corona at least I as long as the corolla-tube. 2« = 36. Rocks and rocky slopes. • Corse. Co.

Extremely variable in leaf-shape. J. Gamisans (Candollea 27: 189-209 (1972)) recognizes two subspecies based on different degrees of leaf-dissection, but intermediates occur and varietal status seems preferable.
