H. crebyidens Dahlst. There are two distinct forms of this 
‘interesting hawkweed—a Scotch form which was taken as 
type, and an Irish form. The Scotch form grows at Arncliffe 
and the Irish form at Linton near Skipton. Fine examples of 
“each were gathered in June, 1913. A third form with more 
‘cordate leaves which Mr. Linton describes as the ‘ Yorkshire 
plant ’ was found at High Force in Teesdale, June 5th, 1914. 
H. sagittatum Lindeb. var. subhirtum F. J. Hanb, Winch 
Bridge, Yorkshire side, Teesdale, June 6th, 1914. A new 
- Yorkshire record I believe. 
H. rotundatum Kit. Ling Gill, August 1oth, rg12. After, 
careful examination of specimens from Ling Gill, Mr. Linton 
“writes: ‘I am much inclined to place this plant to H. votwn- 
‘datum Kit.. a Yorkshire form with rather broader leaves and 
‘fewer heads than Scotch or Scandinavian specimens usually 
‘have. I do not think Yorkshire has been credited with this 
species, but it might weil occur.’ This hawkweed has only 
been recorded for two counties in Scotland—Forfarshire and 
Perthshire; not hitherto recorded for England. 
H. caesium Fr. Mr. A. Ley in Journal of Botany (loc. cit.) 
says: ‘ not.detected in Yorkshire.’ Mr. Linton unhestitatingly 
places a series of plants gathered in Bastow Wood near Grass- 
inton, June 12th, rg11, under the above name. 
. H. acroleucum Stenstr. Ling Gill. There are only three 
stations known in West Yorkshire—Ribblehead, Shipley,. and 
“above. 
. H. mutable A. Ley. Heseldon Glen, August 11th, 1913. 
First record for Yorkshire. Since found in Ling Gill, Gordale, 
and in Bastow Wood. 
H. ovarium Lindeb. MHeseldon Glen, June 26th, 1915. 
New to Yorkshire; a first record. 
H. maculatum Sm. Heseldon Glen, Bastow Wood, Ling 
Gill. New localities. 
H. rigidum Hartm. var. Friesit Dahlst. Near Grassington. 
A ‘rare’ Yorkshire hawkweed. Confirmed by Mr. Linton. 
H. crocatum Fr. Abundant in Ling Gill. A new locality. 
The writer of these notes is very anxious to make as com- 
plete a record as possible of Yorkshire hawkweeds, and would 
(be glad to co-operate with any Yorkshire botanists who are 
interested in this difficult vet interesting genus. Any com- 
munications addressed to 182 Bradford Road, Shipley, will 
receive immediate attention.
