TWO NEW HIERACIUM FORMS. 
By tae Rev. Aveustin Ley. M.A. 
Hreractum ozsium Fr., var. coractnum, nov. var. Original root- 
leaves rolled, later elliptic and elliptic-lanceolate ; these latter 
acute or acuminate, with pointed Jeet the blade shortly decurrent, 
with 2-4 larger ascending teet t base: all bright yellow-green, 
lighter beneath, firm in texture. "St tem 6-15 in., alas or wit 
one nearly linear’leaf, slightly tomentose, i short white soft hair, 
branched only at summit. Heads 4-8, short spreading and 
ascending peduncles. Bud oval, its plisticee bending over so that 
their tips touch at a very acute angle, not tucked in as in ordinary 
H. murorum L. pt. Peduncles with rather dense white tomentum 
and a few sete. Phyllaries densely clothed with long white black- 
heat pee and very few sets, subobtuse ; the shorter outer ones 
Ligules rather broad, full yellow, their tips naked or 
abbas so, in bud. Style rather dark. 
iffering from typieal H. cesium Fr. (which grows in the sam 
locality) in the light yellow-green of its leaves, with blade devant 
and deeply toothed at its base; in the ss corymb of sub- 
umbellate heads, and in the very ‘hairy phyllari

over the cliff, alt. 1500-1800 ft., but not abundant. First observed 
n 1895, and cultivated since that date 
In cultivation the peduncles Tengen, and the leaves develop 
more of their characteristic toothi 
Hieracium scrapaitum Uechtr., var. puLcHRIus, nov. var. Stem 
about 1 ft., bearing 2-3 leaves, oi aig erect, shag at hese: with 
long white hairs. ea i obovate, coarsely toothed with shallow 
ck of 
base of the stem. Stem-leaves elliptic or the uppermost o 
toothed as those of the root, somewhat acute. Corymb cakenioiaie 
peduncles ate floccose but not hairy, beset, as are the dark 
phyllaries, with numerous sete. Ligules naked-tipped, style not 
quite pure yellow. Picea ~— with reddish brown. 
Differing cpenonely from the type in the shorter, stouter, 
This plant seems to be quite ai para between typical

handsome appearance of the plant, ee socauce a passage
