208 PUBTHER NOTES ON HIERACIA. 



basi sensim decurrentia, nee abrupta. Capitula Hieracii pallidi 

 sunt fere duplo majora, crinigera, parum glandulosa at floccosa. 

 H&c forma propria species videtur ! " We found it between the 

 localities for H. stmolepis Lindeb. and H. lasiophylhim Koch, and it 

 certainly bears strong resemblances to both these species; but 

 I have not as yet sufficient evidence of hybridity to express a 

 definite opinion on this point. 



LASIOPHYLLUM 



This name 



I give to a widely distributed form that has puzzled many collectors. 

 Moncrieff Hill, Perth, has perhaps yielded the most striking speci- 

 mens. Its distribution in Britain extends from rocks on the summit 

 of Dartmoor, where it was found in 1880 by the late Mr. T. R. 

 Archer Briggs, to the Little Craigindal, in Aberdeenshire. The 

 Rev, E. S. Marshall has gathered a remarkably glaucous, carious 

 and graceful form of it on Craig Maskeldie, above Loch Lee, Forfar. 

 Dr. White has sent me specimens from Killiecrankie and the Falls 

 of Tummel, in Perthshire, in addition to the Moncrieff Hill station, 

 where we gathered it together. The Rev. H. E. Fox collected it 

 from Glaramara, near Keswick, and the Rev. A. Ley from Llanberis, 

 Carnarvon, and 1 have a specimen collected in 1866 by Mr. J. Sim 

 from the Slack of Birnie. Unlike the last variety, the radical leaves 

 are long and narrow, subentire towards the apex, but cut towards 

 the base into extraordinarily broad, triangular, unequal teeth. This 

 character is less observable in specimens dwarfed by great exposure, 

 as on Dartmoor and the Little Craigindal, but is at once reproduced 

 directly the plant is cultivated. It is usually of smaller and more 

 graceful dimensions than the type. Specimens from various 

 localities have from time to time been sent to Dr. Lindeberg, 

 who has in most cases placed it to H. lasiophyllum in the aggregate, 

 pointing out differentiating characters (which I hope to indicate 

 fully in my Monograph), and adding at one time, "Nova pulcher- 

 nma forma; " at another, " Forma nova elegantissima, ab Hio," &c. 

 The small habit, graceful form, and glaucous colour are characters 

 that remain constant when cultivated under favourable conditions. 

 H - . jubieundum, n. sp.— This is a handsome, well-marked, 

 and widely distributed species, occurring chiefly on the western 

 side of Great Britain, extending from Sutherland to Brecon. It 

 occurs also in Co. Donegal, N.W. Ireland, where it was gathered 

 by Mr. H C. Hart in more than one locality in Innishowen. Its 

 nearest ally is, probably, H. caledonicum. This plant is of very robust 

 habit, from 10 to 20 in. high, with a rosette of three or four rather 

 broad lanceolate radical leaves, gradually narrowed at the base into 

 shaggy petioles, almost entire, though bearing small teeth, or more 



aceous, the colour dull
