FtJBTHER NOTES ON HIERACIA* 133 



previous determination ; on these he wrote, " Cum Hieracio reticu- 

 lata nostro haud male convenit," adding that the British form 

 appeared to run into H. corymbosum. I have no doubt the two 

 species are closely associated. In 1889, Mr. W. F. Miller collected 

 the Reay plant, but in a fresh locality, by a burn to the south of the 

 road running parallel with the coast, and these specimens agreed 

 more closely than any of the preceding with the type No. 147, 

 Hierac. Scand. Exsicc. Again they went to Dr. Lindeberg without 

 comment. " H. reticulatum var. involucro glabro. Confr. H. Sc. 

 Exs. No. 147," was the reply. I give the above details at some 

 length to justify the long interval occurring between the discovery 

 of this species, six years ago, and its publication now. 



H. pr^longum Lindeb. — Specimens of this species were collected 

 by Dr. F. Buchanan White in August, 1885, from "Kock of Linn 

 of Campsie, Perth." Mr. G. C. Druce also collected it in 1889, 

 from Kinlochewe, W. Ross. Of these latter specimens Dr. Linde- 

 berg writes, " H. praelongum var., at veruni." Dr. White's speci- 

 mens agree well with the type No. 42, Hierac. Scand. Exsicc. 



H. angustatum Lindeb. — The English Lake District appears as 

 the first locality for this species. Specimens from a " ravine near 

 Ennerdale, Cumberland," gathered on the 30th July, 1867, by 

 Frederic Addison, were the first so named for me by Dr. Linde- 

 berg. On July 27th, 1876, the Kev. Augustin Ley collected it from 

 " Piers Gill, Scawfell Pikes, Cumberland." These specimens were 

 seen at the time by Mr. J. G. Baker, who wrote, " sylvaticum 

 nearing gothicwn," showing that he did not consider it could be 

 placed definitely under any of the then known British species. In 

 August, 1888, the Eev. H. E. Fox sent it me growing, from Ease- 

 dale, Westmoreland. These specimens Dr. Lindeberg returned as 

 11 H. angustatum (Cnfr. H. Sc. Exs. n. 64)," with a further note 

 pointing out how the species differed from H. vulgatum Fr. I may 

 here remark that in the Hierac. Scand. Exsicc. No. 64, the plant was 

 first issued as a variety under H. ctesium Fr. Dr. Lindeberg has, 

 however, altered this label with a pen in the sets more recently 

 issued, and in Fasc. hi. No. 128, has issued a variety under the 

 name " H. angustatum Lindeb. v. elatum in." This latter variety I 

 gathered in August, 1888, from the rocky cliffs above Loch-na- 

 Chait on Ben Lawers ; and in 1889 the Rev. E. S. Marshall and I 

 gathered it near Kingshouse, Argyle. The same year the Rev. E. 

 F. Linton sent me specimens from the Unich Water, Clova, Forfar; 

 also from alpine rocks on Craig-na-dalabeg, all of which I sent to 

 Dr. Lindeberg for confirmation, who returned them as " JET. 

 anyustat. f. Cnfr.H. Scand. Exs. 128." I have specimens from several 

 other places differing slightly from the foregoing, but which must in 

 all probability be eventually placed to this species ; I refer especially 

 to plants gathered on mountains near Killin and Tyndrum. 



H. cinerascens Jord. — This name has been loosely associated 

 with those of H. lasiophyllum Koch, and H. Schmidtii (or pallidum) 

 var. crinigerum Fr., by many English botanists, as though the three 

 were synonymous, and foreign specimens show that almost equal 

 confusion exists on the Continent. Unfortunately I have not yet 

 seen Jordan's type, so write with much diffidence on the subject.
