TWO ALt'HE^^TLL.VS NEW TO T^ETT Viy 1G5 



hairs on steins and petioles and l)econiing glabrescent at tlie apex, 

 but tlie leaves also are here ratiier densely covered witli longish and 

 snl)-appressed hairs throughout both surfaces. It was from " near 

 Langdon Eeek Inn, U])per Teesdale, Durham, 7.6.1903, A. O. Hume," 

 and was labelled A. vulgaris L. I have examined the remaining 

 specimens of this gatliering at the Institute, and find that they are 

 all either A. alpesfris or A. pratensis. I again translate Lindberghs 

 description (p. 57) :— 



A. VULGARIS L, emend. Buser, 1898 ; A. pastoi-alis Buser ; 

 Lindberg. Plant m -dium-sized, gre3'-green, ver}" thickly hairy. 

 ]lhizome stout. Stipules at the base of the plant brownish witli 

 green or somewhat reddish auricles (" Oehrchen " : but cf. p. 40 

 "stipule non coloratie "). Stem moderatel3^ stout, almost stiffly 

 erect or somewhat arcuate-ascending, 10-35 cm. high, xhyy densely 

 [in British specimen weakly in upper half] clad fln'ou(/hout iis whole 

 Jfugtli ivith perpendicularh^ spreading hairs 1 mm. long. Leaves 

 grey-green, petioles moderately equilong, 2-20 cm., thickly spreading, 

 hairy ; [lamina?] flat or almost flat, thickly hairi/ all over hofh sides 

 (the hairs almost spreading) ; veins below onh^ in young state 

 weakly silky shining, general outline reniform or more rarely almost 

 circular, 3*5-10 cm. broad and 2*5-9 cm. long, as a rule 1 cm. 

 broader than long ; lobes 9 half ovate to roundish, more or less con- 

 tiguous laterally, each side with 7-9 similar, moderately small, and 

 narrow, bluntish, somewhat connivent teeth, terminal tooth smaller 

 and shorter; stem-leaves small with moderateh'' large-toothed to cut 

 stipules. Inflorescence with erect spreading branches with modemtely 

 dense flower-clusters. Fedicels 1-2*5 mm. long, r/labrous. Flowers 

 yellowish green, 3-1 mm. broad ; urceoles as a rule a little rounded at 

 base, obconical, later spherical, 3-3*5 mm. (2*5-3 when dry) long, 

 more or less sparingly spreading hairy, rarely richly hair}^, often 

 [British specimen] most of them glabrous and only few or solitary 

 ones with quite solitary hairs very rarely all quite glabrous ; calgx 

 segments more or less sparsely (rarely more richly) hairy below, 

 epicalyx segments ciliate only on the margin or with solitary hairs 

 near the apex. [DiT meadows; Denmark; Scandinavia; Finland; 

 Baltic Provinces ; Russia.] 



There remains to record an extension of range of the true A. jili- 

 caulis. There are specimens of this in Herb. A. Le}^ in Herb. Univ. 

 Birmingham, from " Monmouthshire, in the 1st Daren, Henddr (?) 

 vallev, H. D. 14, 7 July, 1898," as ''A. vulqaris L., pratensis 

 Schmidt."
