HIERACIUM ORARIUM 
IN DURHAM AND WEST YORKSHIRE.

SHORT time since I sent to Mr. Fr. dB ates some //ieracia 
collected last autumn (August 1890), and among them were speci- 
mens of a plant I gathered first in Teesdale on the banks of 
Langdon Beck, Durham, and afterwards near Clapham in Yorkshire. 
These Mr. Hanbury has named Z. ovarium Lind. It is probable 
that in both localities, as well as elsewhere, the plant has been taken 
by botanists to be a montane form of Z. vulgatum. 
Hieracium Gibsoni Backh. is still marked in the last revision of 
the 8th Edition of the London Catalogue as occurring only in one 
county—Mid-West Yorkshire. To this, however, must be added 
Westmorland, where it is most likely pretty generally distributed on 
the limestone. It occurs in fair abundance on Scout Scar. Here 
my father gathered it in 1861 or 1862, though for many years he 
looked upon it as a maculate form of 4. murorum. Other persons 
who met with it there are the late Mr. Barnes, my friend Mr. George 
Stabler, and the Rev. E. F. Linton, who informs me that he gathered 
it in 1874. In the year 1883 it was collected near Kirkby Stephen 
by the Rev. E. S. Marshall (Journ. of Botany, xxvi. 27).
