A plant in the Kew Herbarium named S. lanceolata bears con- 

 siderable resemblance to this, and is quite distinct from the true 

 <S'. lanceolata as figured by De Candolle in Mem. Soc. Greneve, 

 i. tab. iv. 



Evidently allied to S. squamulosa Koorders & Valeton, a plant 

 only known to me from the description.

HiERACiUM CALLisTOPHTLLUM F. J. Hanb. Thirty years ago, 

 when planning a solitary trip in Scotland, I was led, either by instinct 

 or by " beginner's luck," to include Kingshouse. v.c. 98 Argyll, on the 

 borders of Rannoch Moor, and just below the highest gi-anitic hills of 

 the great Black Mount deer-forest. This first short visit (followed 

 by later and more thorough explorations) resulted in the discovery of 

 several Hawkweeds new to science, besides adding the Scandinavian 

 H. submurorum to our list. 



FL. callistopltyllum, as its name implies, has very handsome 

 foliage, the outer root-leaves being often almost balloon-shaped, with 

 numerous large teeth in their lower half. A full description will be 

 found in Journ. Bot. 1892, p. 168. Usually it grows on granite or 

 mica-schist, having a preference for rocky streamsides, between 2000 

 and 3000 feet ; in Perthshire it occurs down to 1600 feet or less, and 

 in its most northern station hitherto knoM'n (near Oykell Bridge, 

 v.c. 106 E. Koss) r have seen it as low as 200 feet; but this is quite 

 exceptional. Iri the Central Highlands one has found it rather well 

 distributed ; the southern limit appears to be in the hills near Moffat, 

 v.c. 72 Dumfries. 



Dr. Lindeberg's first comment was " H. nigrescens, forma ! " 

 {i. e. the " nigrescens " of Fries and Backhouse, which is li. cvrvatum 

 Elfstrand). Later on, he returned specimens in a " mnrortim '' cover 

 (aggregate li. silvaiicum Gouan) ; but he also saw in it some affinity
