124 FLORA OF THE LAKE DISTRICT. 



Hieracium Auricula, L. 



W. ' Supra Dalehead, non longe a Grassmere in Westmore- 

 landia, sed sparsim.' — (Hudson.) Patterdale. — (Rev. W. 

 Richardson.) 



Hieracium dubium, Sm. 



W. ' In Monte Fairfield dicta, prope Rydall, in comitatu 

 Westmorelandia.' — (Hudson. ) Patterdale. — (Rev. W. Richard- 

 son.) 



How it was that Hudson came to record these two grossly 

 unlikely species as Lakeland plants I have not been able to 

 make out. They belong to a group quite unlikely to be 

 found anywhere in Britain. 



570. Hieracium alpinum, L. (liolosericeum, Backh.). Native. 

 Highland type. Range 3. High slate crags ; very rare. 



C. Head of Piers Ghyll, Scawfell, and on the rocky summit 

 of Glaramara.- — (J. Backhouse, Jr.!) 

 W. Langdale Pikes. — (Borrer ! ) 



571. Hieracium chrysanthum, Backh. Var. microcephalwn, 

 Backh. Native. Highland type. Range 3. High slate crags. 

 Very rare. 



C. Head of Wastdale. — (J. Robson ! ) Near the summit of 

 Glaramara. — (J. Backhouse, Jr. ! ) 



W. Rocks over Grisedale Tarn.— (J. Flintoft.) On the 

 Striding Edge crags of Helvellyn, and on the High Street 

 range. — (J. Backhouse, Jr.! B.) 



572. Hierachi7ii murorum, L. (Backh.). Native. British 

 type. Range 1. This sub-species, though not infrequent in 

 Yorkshire, is very rare at the Lakes. 



W. Stock Ghyll, Ambleside. — (Borrer.) Westmoreland, pro- 

 bably on the limestone near Kendal. — (Watson ! ) H. aggrega- 

 tum of the Whitehaven Cat. is no doubt wrongly determined.
