FLORA OF NORTHUMBERLAND. 49 



H, pallidum. A form approaching, in the opinion of my friend, 

 Jas. Backhouse, jnn., the variety crinigerum of Fries. 

 By the Coquet, below Windyhaugh. The leaves of this 

 plant are broader, and less acute, than in an example of 

 this variety of Fries' Symholce sent me by Professor Bly tt 

 from Norway. Kyloe Crags. 



//. argenteiwi, Fries. The " Brizzle," Cheviot. Very charac- 

 teristic examples of this species were gathered in this 

 ravine. They correspond very well with specimens 

 gathered on Melbreak, Cumberland, in 1854. A form of 

 this plant was collected also near the Coquet, above 

 Alwinton. 



//. vulgaiiwi, Fries. An attenuate, single-flowered form 

 was gathered on Cheviot. 



//. prenanthoides^ Vill. By Cheviot, towards Wooler. Near 

 Bleakhope, on the Breamish. The former station may be 

 the same with that discovered by G. R. Tate (" Flora of 

 the Eastern Borders.") Although the specimens from 

 these stations would appear to be typical, they differ a 

 little in the firmer consistence of their leaves, and stronger 

 habit, from the wood form of the species growing on the 

 Allen. This form we collected at Teckett waterfall, on 

 our way to Bellingham. 



H. Gothicum, Fries. To this species J. Backhouse, jun., refers 

 two or three specimens gathered by the Tyne,near Smales-^ 

 mouth. I quite agree in this decision. 



H. . A strong plant, with large corymbose inflores- 

 cence, growing near Smalesmouth. J. Backhouse, jun., 

 believes to be a " state or variety of H. corymhosum of 

 Fries," adding that Fries " refers it (erroneously ?) to his 

 H. rigidumy It would appear to be specifically distinct 

 from a specimen given me by Blytt, labelled Hieracium 

 rigidum^ Fries, from Christiania. 



Hdbenaria chlorantha, Bab. Near Alwinton. ♦ 



Zostera marina, 8. angustifolia. A plant from the coast, near
