Arctium  majus,  Bernh.,  var.  subtomentosum,  Lange. 
(  =  A.  tomentosum ,  Bab).  East  Langton,  Leics.,  v.c.  65, 
July,  1907.  New  county  record. — Coll.  F.  Brown.  Comm. 
W.  Bell.  This  has  nothing  to  do  with  A.  majus ,  Bernh. ; 
nor,  I  think,  had  Babington’s  plant.  It  is  much  too 
young,  and  not  a  terminal  shoot ;  but  it  probably  may  be 
A.  nemorosum,  Lej.,  var.  subtomentosum ,  Ar.  Benn. — 
E.S.M.  Not  majus ,  but  probably  intermedium,  Lange, 
var.  subtomentosum,  Ar.  Benn. — A.L.  In  spite  of  the  solid 
petioles  (which  is  not  a  constant  character,  I  believe) 
I  do  not  think  this  is  a  majus  form.  I  should  call  it 
A.  intermedium,  Lange  (=  A.  pubens,  Bor.)  var.  subtomen¬ 
tosum,  Ar.  Benn. — C.E.S. 
Picris  hieracioides,  Linn.,  ?  var.  arvalis  (Jord.).  Near 
Holford,  Worcs.,  v.c.  37,  Aug.  1906.— C.  H.  Waddell. 
I  should  call  it  P.  hieracioides. — F.H.D.  I  have  never 
gathered  the  var.  arvalis ;  but  this  appears  to  me  to  be 
merely  a  few-headed  form  of  the  type. — E.S.M.  Not  the 
var. —  A.L. 
Grepis  biennis,  Linn.  Fen  Ditton,  Cambs.,  v.c.  29, 
July  24,  and  Aug.  3,  1907.— R.  H.  Goode  and  G.  Goode. 
Hieracium  centripetale,  F.  J.  Hanb.  Midlaw  Burn, 
Moffat  Dale,  Dumfriessh.,  v.c.  72,  July  23,  1907.  Styles 
livid.  Some  members  may  be  glad  to  have  specimens 
from  the  headquarters  of  this  endemic  and  characteristic 
species.  Owing  to  the  backward  season,  it  was  mostly  in 
bud,  but  the  heads  are  so  peculiar  at  that  stage  that  it  is 
no  great  drawback. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
H.  - - .  Shaly  rocks,  Craigmichen  Scaurs, 
high  up  the  Selcoth  Burn,  near  Moffat,  Dumfriessh.,  v.c. 
72,  July  25,  1907. — W.  R.  Linton  and  E.  S.  Marshall.  A 
remarkable  plant,  with  rather  livid  styles,  glabrous  ligules, 
and  the  leaves  usually  blotched,  unless  shade-grown. 
This  was  sent  to  Dahlstedt  some  years  ago  and  then 
considered  by  him  to  be  a  new  form,  allied  to,  but  distinct 
from,  H.  lasiophyllum  and  H.  Schmidtii.  The  Rev.  W.  R. 
Linton  lately  sent  to  Dahlstedt  better  examples  from  the 
present  gathering  ;  it  was  his  intention,  should  it  still  be 
considered  as  an  undescribed  species,  to  name  it  H. 
sordidum  :  but  multis  flebilis  occidit.  The  affinity  with 
H.  lasiophyllum  appears  to  me  much  more  evident  than
