Native. Sylvestral, &c. Curiously enough, with refe- 

 rence to a species of Hieracium reported from every other 

 province, I do not find any locality for that of the Lakes 

 among my notes and compilations, although I feel a tole- 

 rably certain recollection of having seen the species there. 

 The figure of H. maculatum in English Botany, cor- 

 responding with the specimen in Smith's herbarium, pro- 

 bably represents an example of H. sylvaticum with spotted 

 leaves. More fi-equently, however, the maculate Hieracia 

 belong to H. murorum. Three distinguishable forms are 

 included under H. sylvaticum by British botanists. One 

 of these has few leaves on the stem, unless in its luxuriant 

 and branched state, and con-esponds closely with H. macu- 

 latum, except in the absence of dark stains on the leaves. 

 A second is the form with a long and leafy, but scarcely 

 branched stem; and from which the third fonn differs 

 chiefly by its more rigid leaves, of a darker gi-een colour, 

 and its less copious pubescence.
