HIERACIUM ANGLICUM Fries AND ITS VARIETIES. 
By Freperic N. Witutams, F.L.S. 
In an attempt to group the British Hawkweeds, the critical 
examination of the many forms of the species found to occur in 
Central Europe recorded in Die Hieracien Mittel-Europas (so far as 
published) by Naegeli and Peter, and exemplified in their excellent 
Series of specimens issued under the supervision of Prof. Peter as 
: ] s 
revision of the fewer forms met with in other countries. The 
present paper is therefore tentative and, as it were, introductory, 
taking up H. anglicum as a well-known British species. The 
stoup of Cerinthoidea, as represented in this country, does n 
include typical members of the group, and many forms referred to 
it must probably find a place elsewhere. In a recent paper in this 
Journal a few points were touched on, and a further examination 
of specimens of H. callistophyllum tends to show that it would, 
perhaps, be better transferred to Oreadea,
