Abstract
SummaryHieracium tomentosum L. (Compositae: Lactuceae: Hieraciinae) is illustrated and described, the account of the species providing a fairly full synonymy, reference to types and the complication of grexes indicated. Frequently appearing under the name of Hieracium lanatum (L.) Vill., issues with the historical naming of this species are highlighted, together with those of naming many of the European hieracia. The species has been in cultivation in the British Isles for just short of three hundred years, and is apparently only currently available from three suppliers. Cultivation and propagation requirements are discussed. The artist of the plate and the figure, Gustavo Surlo, is the youngest Margaret Mee Fellowship Programme Artist Scholar to have illustrated in Curtis's Botanical Magazine. Having won the Artist Scholarship for 2018, this is his first plate in the Magazine.
