SOMERSET PLANT-NOTES 223 



Hieracium Pilosella L. var. nigrescens Fr. 9. Cheddar Gorge. — 

 Var. continuation F. J, Hanb. 3. Cothelstone Hill. 9. Cheddar 

 Gorge. — H. Schmidtii Tausch. The Cheddar plant formerly so 

 called has now been identified by Mr. Ley as his H. cyathis ; the 

 Minehead Schmidtii being referred by Rev. W. R. Linton to var. 

 devoniense F. J. Hanb. — H. vulgatum Fr. The Cheddar plant 

 placed here in Fl. Sow. is H. sciaphilum Uechtr., a very distinct 

 species. — H. rigidum Hartm. var, trichocaulon Dahlst. 3. Hedge- 

 banks below Buncombe Hill, Kingston. "Much like the English 

 plant so named. The Scandinavian plant has longer, narrower 

 leaves, less toothed, and many fine glands on the heads ; so that 

 your plant is not exactly it," W. R. Linton, in litt. Nominally a 

 new county record, but very likely included under H. tridentatum 

 Fr. in FL Som. I greatly doubt the occurrence of true H. gothicum 

 Fr. in this southern county, but have not seen the Ebbor plant 

 which has been referred to it. — H. umbellatum L. Lane near 

 Kingston ; a form approaching var. coronopi folium Fr. 



Leontodon hirtus L. 3. Cotbelstone, 



Taraxacum lavigatum DC. 3. Wall-tops, Cotbelstone ; agrees 

 very well with De Candolle's description in the Prodromus. What 

 seems to be the same thing, dwarfed, ascends to over 1000 ft. on 

 Cothelstone Hill. — T. palustre DC. 5. Low ground near Dunball, 

 sparingly. — T. udum Jord. 1. Dulverton. 6. Plentiful near Chard; 

 I saw no good T. palustre thereabouts.

 ham and Highbridge ; locally plentiful.
