SOME NEW FORMS OP HIERACIA 355 



loped, lanceolate dentate. Heads few; peduncles floccose, pilose 

 and glandular, glands subequal ; style yellow. 



This variety is more hairy throughout than the type and more 

 glandular in the inflorescence. The leaves are much more dentate, 

 and the stem-leaves conspicuous instead of being more commonly 

 absent in the type. It is referred to in a note on p. 28, Brit. Hier. 



In some quantity over some length of cliffs near Berriedale, 

 Caithness. 



A plant from Craig Breidden was left for description by Mr. 

 Ley and named by him H. stenolepis var. suhciliatmn, with 

 glaucous leaves which were strongly ciliate, outer l)roadly oval 

 subentire, inner oblong-lanceolate with few teeth, glandular pe- 

 duncles, heads rounded below, phyllaries very slightly floccose but 

 more glandular than the type, style "dark" (A. L.), " livescent " 

 (W. E. L.), ligule tip "setose" (A. L.); but the material collected 

 by both botanists together is so scanty that I should hesitate to 

 place it in the list without seeing more specimens. 



H. orithales, sp. nov. Stem l-lf ft., thinly pilose below. 

 Leaves yellowish-green, hairy chiefly on the nerves below ; earlier 

 roundly oval, denticulate, truncate at the base, scarcely ever sub- 

 cordate, hairy above ; intermediate and latest ovate-oblong to 

 oblong-lanceolate, dentate and narrowing below to the medium 

 petiole, subglabrous above ; stem-leaf or 1, oblong-lanceolate to 

 linear, dentate or entire. Panicle falsely furcate, lower branches 

 on strong plants overtopping the primary flower ; heads 4-12, 

 rather under middle size, blackish green ; peduncles somewhat 

 floccose, with some hairs and usually numerous short subequal 

 glands, ascending or suberect ; phyllaries linear-subulate, narrow, 

 obtuse (inner subacute), lightly but deciduously floccose with 

 much black-based hair and fewer glands (few on primordial, more 

 and sometimes many on later heads). Ligule tip pilose (or at 

 least subcihate). Style livid (or yellowish, then Hvescent).

This description is based in the first instance on specimens 

 gathered in Corrie Dubh Galair, Glen Lochay, Mid-Perth, by the 

 Eev. W. R. Linton (no. 100) and myself (no. 158), and on notes 

 made by him towards a description. He suggested no name,
