Beeby, W. H., On the Flora of Shetland. (Ann. Scott. Nat. Hist. 

 LXVI. p. 110—117. 1908.) 



This is a revision of the Hieracia known to occur in the Shet- 

 land-islands, to the flora ot which group the author has devoted 

 much attention. He had the aid of Mr. W. R. L in ton, who exami- 

 ned his collection oi Hieracia. Dahlstedt's monograph o{ Hieraciutn 

 in the "Botany of the Faroes" affords opportunity for a comparison 

 with that group. The most remarkable feature is that the Cerinthoidea, 

 which include 12 out of the 23 forms in the Faroes and Eu-viilgata 

 (with 4 forms in the Faroes), appear not to occur in the Shetlands. 

 On the other hand the Shetland flora possesses 4 of the Oreadea 

 and 3 of the Foliosa, both of which are absent from the Faroes, 

 and Shows 7 of the Alpestria, as against 2 in the Faroes. Several 

 corrections are made on names in earlier records from the Shet- 

 lands, and several new forms are described. J. W. H. Trail. 



Beeby, W. H., On the Flora of Shetland. (Ann. Scott. Nat. Hist. 

 LXX. p. 103—107. 1909.) 



Contains results of an examination of part of the Mainland of 

 Shetland in 1908, with critical notes on certain species, of which 

 the local forms of Montia fontana and Taraxacwn spectabile are the 

 most important here treated. J. W. H. Trail. 



Bennett, A., Plants of the Faroe Islands not occurring in 

 Great Britain, and others not occurring in Shetland, 

 Orkney Caithness, or the Outer Hebrides. (Ann. Scott. Nat. 

 Hist. LXIX. p. 36—40. 1909.) 



This is based on a comparison of the flora of the Faroe Islands, 

 (as made known in the excellent "Flora of the Faroes"), with the 

 British flora, especially of the islands near Scotland. There appear 

 to be a good many anomalies in the distribution of the species, 

 some of which are only apparent, and can be already accounted 

 for, while others call for further study of the plants of these districts.
