HIERACIUM NOTES 109 



Group Oreadea. 



Hieracium britannicum F. J. Hanb. var. nov. ovale. Differs 

 from the type in having the leaves less firm in texture, large, 

 regularly oval from a truncate or shortly cuneate base, obtuse, 

 their margin shallowly aud evenly repand-dentate. The leaf-hair 

 is partly setose, and the receptacle exhibits a few cilia on the 

 margins of the dentate pits. 



Brecon : Craig Cille, first in 1894; Cefn Coed, H. J. Riddelsdell ! 

 in both instances on limestone. West Yorkshire : Moughton 

 Scaurs, Ingleborough, 1901; Smearsett Scaurs, Settle, 1901. 



Group Sub-vulgata. 



H. ciliatum Almq. var, nov. venosum. Differs from the cognate 

 variety repandum Ley by the root-leaves being larger, deep green, 

 broadly ovate-acute, from a truncate or subcordate often coarsely 

 dentate base, with the veins strongly impressed ; by the ligules 

 being densely and longly ciliate-tipped; and by the receptacle-teeth 

 bearing cilia. Stalked glands are occasionally present on the 



petioles. 



West Brecon : abundant on Craig-y-Nos Ridge, at about 

 1700 ft. (limestone). First noticed in 1899 ; cultivated since 

 that date. 



H. serratifrons Almq. var. nov. Cinderella. Aspect and 

 height of var. lepistoides K.. Johanns., which it closely resembles in 

 its root-leaves. The following characters separate it from that 

 plant : — Stem-leaf well developed, ovate-lanceolate, often deeply 

 toothed at the truncate base. Peduncles long ; phyllaries long, 

 narrowly subulate, senescent, very glandular ; floccose on the sur- 

 face, and very floccose-edged. Heads narrow, light grey to brown, 

 never black; small, normally cuneate-based. Ligule rather densely 

 ciliate-tipped. Style livescent. 



Banks and woods ; June.

In this section several forms described by Scandinavian botanists 

 having been recently recognized as British, it becomes desirable, 

 before giving a short description of these, to insert in this paper 

 a part of the scheme in which they are placed by Aman. H.
