108 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 



F. sciuroides Roth, Catalect. Bot. i. 11 (1800) ; Linnaeus's refer- 

 ences to Kay and Plukenet indicate the plant in question. 



502. Triticum biflorum Brignoli, Fasc. PL Forojul. 18 (1810). 

 We follow Mitten, who first described Don's plant (Hook. Lond. 

 Journ. Bot. vii. 533 (1848) ), in referring it to this species. We 

 have compared a specimen from Don with plants from Brignoli's 

 classic locality. 



504. Hordeum EUROPiEUM AUioni, Fl. Pedemont. ii. 260 (1785) 

 FJymus europaus L. Mant. 35 (1767) ; H. sylvaticum Hudson, 

 Fl. Angl. ed. 2, 57 (1778). 



H. nodosum L. Sp. PI. ed. 2, 126 (1762). Bay's plant cited 

 by Linnaeus was evidently a monstrosity, but the identity of fl. 

 nodosum with H. pratense Huds. Fl. Angl. ed. 2, 56 (1778), is 

 established by the Linnean Herbarium. 



516. Polypodium molle Allioni, Fl. Pedem. ii. 287 (1785), is 

 an earlier name for P. alpestre Hoppe ex Sprengel, Syst. iv. 2, 

 320 (1827). 



517. Woodsia alpina S. F. Gray, Nat. Arr. ii. 17 (1821) : 



Acrostichum alpinum Bolton, Fil. Brit. 76 (1790). 



A. hyperboreum Liljeblad in Vet. Acad. Nya Handl. Stockh. 



1793, 201. 

 Woodsia hyperborea Br. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xi. 173 (1813). 



518. Lastrea Montana T. Moore, Handb. Brit. Ferns, ed. 2, 

 100(1853):— 



Polypodium montanum Vogler, Dissert. (1781). 



P. oreopteris Ehrhart, Beitr. v. 44 (1789). 



L. aristata comb. nov. The earliest name for L. dilatata 

 Presl, Tent. 77 (1836) is Polypodium aristatum Villars, Hist. PL 

 Dauph. iii. 845 (1789). 



529. Hymenophyllum peltatum Desvaux, Prodr. 333 (1827). 

 This is the earliest trivial for H. Wilsoni Hook. Brit. Fl. 446(1830), 

 which was first described as Trichomanes peltatum Poiret, Encycl. 



viii. 76 (1808), and for which Hooker himself (Sp. Fil. i. 96 (1846) ) 

 cites it as a synonym. 



HIERACIUM , NOTES. 



By Rev. Augustin Ley, M.A. 



The detection in Britain of more than one well-marked form of 

 this genus hitherto undescribed may perhaps legitimately be used 

 as an opportunity of describing a few Scandinavian forms also 

 recently detected in this country. In compiling this paper, tne 

 writer wishes to acknowledge continual help and kind encourage- 

 ment received from Rev. W. R. Linton, M.A., without which it 

 would have been impossible for him to have undertaken it. 



Records, unless otherwise stated, are on the authority of tne 

 writer.
