Ascends to 100 or 200 yards, in England. 



Range of mean annual temperature 51 — 47. 



Native. Agrestal, Glareal. Thinly scattered over great 

 part of Britain ; but the recorded Scottish habitats are so 

 few and distant (Ayr, Forfar, Moray) that it has appeared 

 better to deem this plant an example of the English type 

 of distribution. Mr. Gardiner does not appear to have 

 confirmed its occuiTence in Forfarshire, where G. Don re- 

 corded it. Like the Arnoseris pusilla, often found in com- 

 panionship, the H. glabra seems almost restricted to sandy 

 ground as a permanent resident.

Native. Rupestral ? I make no doubt that the greater 

 number of localities recorded for this plant are wide errors, 

 through mistaking the maculate varieties of Hieracium 

 murorum, and probably other species of the same genus, 

 for the present plant. My only specimen was received 

 from Sir William Hooker, and labelled from Suffolk. The 

 Cambridge and Caernarvon habitats appear deserving of 

 credit; and perhaps that of the Lizard, in Cornwall, may 

 be equally so; although some doubt will attach to this 

 latter, from the plant being too large and conspicuous to
