Druce, G. CLARIDGE, Helianthemum Breweri Planch. (Journal 



of Botany. 1902. Vol. XL. p. 231—233.) 



The author reviews the literature dealing with the anglesey plant, 

 Helianthemum Breweri and shews that some of the characters ascri- 

 bed to it by the original describer and subsequent writers are inconstant. 

 It has a different facies from the Jersey species H. guttatum and is re- 

 garded by the author as a good geographical race.

Williams, Frederick N., British Hawkweeds of the Cerin- 

 tholdea Group. (Journal of Botany. 1902. Vol. XL. p. 229 

 —230.) 



The group Cerinthoidea includes the highest forms of the British 

 non-stoloniferous species. The characters of the group are given in 

 detail. As defined by the author it includes three British species — 

 H. callistophyllum Hanbury, H. anglicum Fries and H. iricum Fries. The 

 London Catalogue places nine species in this group. In the authors 

 opinion the latter five of these should be transferred to Oreadea or 

 vulgata. In grouping the British species of the subgenus Archieracium 

 it is proposed to arrange them under ten sections in two series , viz. 

 (1) Phyllopoda and (2) Aphyllopoda. The Phyllopoda are again sub- 

 divided into the two subseries Trichophylla (glaucous; simple non- 

 glandular hairs) and Adenophylla (green; glandulär hairs).
