CONTRIBUTION TO A FLORA OF THE OUTER HEBRIDES 169 



" secund spec. Opizianum " ; assuming this to be correct the 

 Hebridean specimens will hardly agree in some parts, while in 

 others they do, as in the involucres. Hartmann, " Skand Fl." 

 ist ed. p. 319, 1820, has a var. I'illosnin ; in his nth ed. he 

 gives Koch's lanata, with no mention of his former variety ; 

 but I cannot see how they differ. If they are the same, 

 Hartmann's name was given 1 7 years before Koch's. Com- 

 paring these specimens with Shetland (var. alpestris] and 

 Caithness specimens, I believe the Hebridean plant to be 

 var. villosum, Hartmann, and not var. alpestris. 



SENECIO JACOB^A, Z., var. DISCOIDEUS (Koch}. Scarp, near houses, 

 W. S. Duncan, sp. 



SAUSSUREA ALPINA, DC. Plentiful at 400 feet in Glen Ulladale, 

 Harris, W. S. Duncan, sp. ; West Sutherland at 800 feet (Miller); 

 Caithness about 50 feet (cliffs) (Horn); Shetland, 800-1500 

 feet (Tale). 



LEONTODON AUTUMNALIS, Z., var. SORDIDA, Bab. (Oporinia autum- 

 nalis, Don, var. sordidus, Bab., " Man. Brit. Bot." 2nd ed. 

 p. 189, 1847). A large gross form of the plant, for which I 

 can find no earlier continental name. One of Opiz's Seznam 

 names (1852) may apply to it, but it is a name only, Scarp.
