Taraxacum faeroense, Dahlstedt (fide Hugo Dahl- 

 stedt). — Marshy heath, 430 feet above sea-level, Myres, 

 near Muckle Water, Rousay, 18th June 1921, H. H. 

 Johnston. Native. Common. A new record for this

 Leaves runcinate — pinnatifid, with small lobes between the 

 large lobes ; midrib purplish ; blade dull green above, paler 

 somewhat glaucous-green beneath. Outer phyllaries re- 

 curved or spreading both in flower-bud and in flower, 

 oblong-lanceolate, acuminate ; inner phyllaries strap-shaped, 

 gibbous, and appendaged at the apex. Achenes olive- 

 coloured, spinulose — muricated at the apex ; beak thickened 

 at the base. With reference to my specimens, Reference 

 No. 457, Dr. Hugo Dahlstedt, in a note dated 12th January 

 1922, writes as follows: — "This form belongs to Vulgaria 

 [ = T. officinale (coll.) olim] and seems to be allied to 

 T. angustisquameum, Dahlstedt. But probably it is a new 

 related species." My specimens do not agree with the 

 description of any of the varieties of Taraxacum officinale, 

 Wiggers, mentioned in " English Jiotany," ed. iii, pp. 142 

 and 143 (1873).
