C. decipiens, Thuill. Mr Marquand, Fl. Guernsey, says the rayed 

 form is generally distributed, but I found it only in the marshy part 

 of one field, where it was dominant. The involucre bracts varied 

 from dark to light brown; all heads were rayed. — W. C. Barton. 

 "Yes, what I call var. decipiens, Syme." — G. C. Druce. "Appar- 

 ently C. consimilis, Bor., which has pale brown appendages and the 

 calathia arachnoid at the base."— J. A. Wheldon. 



Crepis capillaris, Wallr., var. diffusa (DC). Stow Wood, Oxon., 

 in sandy fields, Aug. 1912. This appears to be a second flowering of 

 the year, as there are remains of the previous stems. Perhaps some 

 one will try to grow it from the achenes to prove its constancy, if, 

 indeed, this species, like so many of the Compositae, is not apogamous. 

 — G. C. Druce. 



Hieracium aurantiacum, L. Alien. Origin, sand dunes near 

 Formby. Cult., Walton, S. Lanes, v.-c. 59, July 1912.— J. A. 

 Wheldon. "Correct; not easily mistaken." — E. F. Linton. 



Hieracium iricum, Fries. Sandstone crags at seashore, 10 — 25 

 feet above sea level, south side of Pegal Bay, Waas, Hoy, Orkney, 

 July 16, 1912. — H. H. Johnston. "Very fine specimens of this 

 species, showing the gradation from few-leaved to stems with five 

 to six leaves. The head in formation shows well the lax outer 

 phyllaries, with their usual clothing." — E. F. Linton. " Fine speci- 

 mens. Reported for Gordale, v.-c. 64, N.W. Yorks, but not seen for 

 many years. Probably extinct now." — J. Cryer. 



Hieracium amplexicaule, L. Walls at Oxford, where it has been 

 naturalised since 1794, but I did not gather the root-stock. July 1912. 

 — G. C. Druce. " Yes. Specimens do not show the persistent 

 characteristic root-leaf." — J. Cryer. " Correct." — E. F. Linton. 



Hieracium ruhicundum, F. J. H. Cwm Idwall, Carnarvonshire, 

 v.-c. 49, July 13, 1912. — W. A. Shoolbred. "Good specimens of 

 H. ruhicundum, F. J. H." — J. Cryer. "Rightly named." — E. F. 

 Linton. 



Hieracium ruhicundum, F. J. H. Sandstone crags at sea-shore 

 10— 25 feet above sea level, west side of Walkmill Bay, Orphir, 

 Mainland, Orkney, July 19, 20, 1912. Native. Leaves dark green 

 above, paler purplish green beneath ; phyllaries blackish green, with 

 copious blackish bristles ; flowers not scented ; corolla yellow ; style 

 and its spirally recoiled branches yellow. — H. H. Johnston. " Very 

 typical specimens with the rather thick leathery purpurascent leaves, 

 broad phyllaries thinly clothed." — E. F. Linton.
