 with the remains of leaf stalks. Stem brittle, striated, rough 

 with long scattered white hairs, more or less floccose and setose

the name of " Hieracium gUmcum piUmim foUisparum dentatis," are evidently 

 fonns of S. pallidum ; but on the same sheet is another plant (apparently a 

 a piece of H. cerinthoides B anglicxtm) -srhich appears to have been taken for the 

 same species. Both of these plants may now he found in the district referred to. 

 " In loco decUvi Gordil prope Malham Cravonise vioum." Other specimens in 

 the same Herhaiium, bearing the same number (" 4896 "), and to which the 

 name " Mieraciu alpinu • * rotundifoKu flore specioao from Malha " is 

 annexed, apparently in the handwriting of Dr. Richardson, are unquestionably 

 forms of Hieracium vulgatum.
