116 THE LIFE AND WORK OF GEORGE DON. 
The specimen in Miss Palmer's collection shows that Don’s 
plant is not the cerinthotdes of Linnzeus but the H. ara 
of Backhouse, of which Don was the first discoverer in Britai 
Smith was again in error in identifying it with the foes 
species 
Hieracium amplexicaule, Z 
“Mr. Borrer ces specimens from = Don, gathered on 
the Clova mountains.” Hooker, Fl. Scot., p. 2 are See also 
Gardiner, FI. Forfar. re 102. Watso on, Cy. Brit.,A- pe G1 
“Found in the Clova mountains by the late a G. Don.” 
Eng. Bot., Suppl., t. 2690 (1831) 
“Said to have been found on a rock called the Garrie Barns, 
Clova, Forfarshire, by G. Don, but no one else has been able to 
detect its presence there.” Syme, Eng. Bot., v., p. 178. See 
also Watson, Comp. Cyb. Brit., p. 527. 
There is no probability of the true amplexicaule being found 
native in Britain, although now naturalised in a few localities. 
Don probably saw H. anglicum, var. amplexicaule, Bab., and 
SE, it with the Linnean species. 
Salix Doniana, Sm. 
“Sent from oe as British, by the late Mr. G. Don to 
the late Mr. G. Ander Mr. Borrer” Smith , Eng. FL, iv. ae 
213, and Eng. Bot.  Stuple t. 2599 (1829). 
“ Baldovan ae rare.” Gardiner, Fl. Forfar., p. 165. 
“Prov. ? Scotland ; Ambiguity. Resembling 5. 
purpurea.” Sa Comp. ‘Cyb. Brit., De B73: 
‘“‘A native of dry places in mid and south Germany, described 
by Andersson as exactly intermediate between repens and pur- 
purea, was stated by the late Mr. G. Don to be a native of 
Forfarshire, no. doubt erroneously.” Hooker, Student’s FI. 
(1870), p. 343. 
“T do not see that this hybrid willow is ‘no doubt erroneously 
recorded,’ or why a hybrid willow (both parents of which grow 
in the vicinity) should not as likely be found in Baldovan 
s as elsewhere.” Druce, in Scott. Nat., p. 263 (1884). - 
This willow has been re-found by Dr. Buchanan White on 
the = k of the Aue! below Pitlochry, see White, Fl. Perth., 
p- and there is no doubt that Don was the first observer 
of this ‘hybrid willow i in Forfarshire.
