Boswelli, which the hairs and ciliation suit better, but you 

 reported yellow style. I am much inclined to place it with 

 the last named." At the time I collected my specimens, on 

 22nd July 1912, I recorded the colour of the style and its 

 branches as " yellow," but on examining the dried specimens 

 in my herbarium, I find that the specimens are yellowish- 

 brown, whereas the corollas remain bright yellow. In 

 " An Account of the British Hieracia," by Rev. W, R. 

 Linton, p. 25 (1905), the colour of the styles of H, 

 RUBICUNDUM, F. J. Haiihury, is recorded as " yellowish 

 or light olive " ; but in the case of all my specimens of 

 the type of that species, collected in the three islands of 

 Hoy, Mainland, and Rousay, and also in the case of the 

 var. b. Boswelli (Linton), collected at the Dwarfie Hamars, 

 Hoy, the styles and their two branches were recorded by 

 me as " yellow " in the living plants, and they have all 

 turned yellowish-brown during the drying of the specimens, 

 whereas the colour of the corollas still remain bright yellow 

 in the dried specimens. If the name var. b. Boswelli 

 (Linton) is correct, my record confirms that for this 

 variety from Orkney in "An Account of the British 

 Hieracia," by Rev. W. R. Linton, p. 25 (1905). My 

 specimens were collected at the same stations as those 

 (rather poor specimens) collected by the late Rev. W. R. 

 Linton, at the Dwarfie Hamars, Hoy, on 10th August 1886, 

 and which his brother, the Rev. E. F. Linton, thinks may 

 be the var. b. Boswelli (Linton). See my "Note" on 

 H. RUBICUNDUM, F. J. Hanbury, in "Trans. Bot. Soc. 

 Edin.,"" vol. xxvi, p. 210 (1914) ; and " Annals Scot. Nat. 

 Hist.," No. 58, April 1906, p. 95.
