ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF HEREFORDSHIRE 323 



R. sylvestris Woods. Much the same in its distribution as R. 

 scabriuscula, but far less abundant. 



R. tomentosa Sm. The most common member of the group 



throughout the county. 



R. farinosa Rau. Rare and local. Aymestry, Kimbolton, Din- 

 more and Westhope, and one or two other localities. The plants 

 here placed under the name of R. farinosa Rau are none of them 

 typical, differing from Rau's plant in not having the peduncle 

 quite naked. 



Pyrus communis L. var. Pyraster (L.). Further investigation 

 makes it probable that this pear is really native in the woods of 

 the Great Doward Hill. — P. *cordata Desv. Native at several 

 stations in the south and centre of the county. Great Doward; 

 Penyard Park Wood, Ross; Haugh Wood, Mordiford, Dr. Wood. 

 This interesting plant cannot be supposed to be anything but a 

 native plant in the county. The writer has watched it for four 

 or five years on the Great Doward, but has never detected fructifi- 

 cation, yet seedlings occur in the vicinity of the older bushes.

A great part of the 



fordshire appears to be the S. albescens of Ha worth. There is, 

 however, no indication that this stonecrop has any claim to be 



accounted native in the county. 



anqustifolium Huds. Bosbury, 



Moorhampton, Foxley, Moccas, Bickham. Abundant and commonly 

 distributed. 



Galium *erectum Huds. Rare. Pasture between Cradlev and 

 Leigh Sinton, just within the Herefordshire boundary, 1898, Town- 

 drow ! — G. Mollugo L. *var. Baheri Syme. Rare, only known in 

 the southern districts. Grass-field, Tretire, about 1890, B. M. 

 Watkins ; rough field-border near Sellack, 1905. 



JScabiosa Columbaria L. In one new station — on the Ridgeway, 



Eastnor, Towndrow ! 



Solidago Virganrea L. *var. cambrica (Huds.). On the cliffs of 

 the Black Mountain ; Olchon Daren, 1886; Red Daren, 1888.— 

 *Var. angustifolia Koch. Lowland Woods ; Great Doward, 1904; 



Whitfield, 1906. 



Hieraciwn. In this genus the Rev. W. R. Linton's Handbook 



is exclusively followed for the order and nomenclature of the 



forms. 



H. Pilosella L. *var. concinnatum F. J. Hanb. Growing with 



the type, but less common. Hope Mansel ; Great Doward ; 

 Breinton ; Eardisley ; Honddu and Grwyne Valleys of the Black 

 Mountain. — *Var. nigrescms Fr. Usually on wall-tops, rare. Wall- 

 top, Brampton Bryan, 1902 ; the typical plant of Fries. Hope 

 Mansel and Great Doward ; with dark shaggy heads, but the hair 

 less black than in Fries's plant. The Great Doward plant is 

 recorded by Mr. Linton as H. Peleteriannm Mer. 



H. lasiophyllum Koch (H. cinerascens Jord. Fl. Heref. 193). 



Still found at the Great Doward Hill at the stations for which it 

 was recorded in the Flora, but unknown elsewhere. — Var. plani-
