(5)  has  narrower  leaves,  which  are  also  more  sharply 
dentate  and  distinctly  ciliate  and  more  pubescent,  and 
the  heads  are  slightly  less  glandular ;  but  the  specimens 
have  had  their  main  stem  arrested  in  growth,  and  better 
examples  than  I  have  seen  would  be  required  to  establish 
varietal  distinction  between  the  two  forms. — E.F.L. 
H. - .  On  granite  refuse,  Mountsorrel  Quarries, 
Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Oct.  1,  1907.  This  hieracium,  which  is 
most  abundant  in  this  station,  was  last  year  distributed 
through  the  B.  E.  C.  of  the  British  Isles  as  var.  mutabile, 
Ley.  But  the  late  Rev.  W.  R.  Linton,  after  growing  it 
from  seed  and  transplanted  plants,  wrote  (Sept.  27,  1907)  : 
“  Dahlstedt,  to  whom  I  sent  specimens,  says  it  is  not 
exactly  mutabile,  but  another  form.  I  see  it  is  not  quite 
the  same,  so  may  have  to  publish  it  as  a  var.  I  have  not 
yet  thought  of  a  name  but  hope  to  work  it  out  before 
long.”  I  fear  he  was  never  able  to  do  so. — F.  L.  Foord- 
Kelcey.  Poor  material — too  poor,  I  consider,  to  name 
definitely.  Not  H.  sciaphilum,  as  the  ligules  are  glabrous  - 
tipped. — E.S.M. 
H.  subramosum,  Lonnr.  Coast,  Pettycur,  Fifesh., 
v.c.  85,  July  18, 1907.  Styles  livid. — E.  S.  Marshall.  (See 
Kept.  B.  E.  C.,  1907,  p.  299). 
H.  sciaphilum,  Uechtr.  (1)  Cropstone,  Leics.,  v.c.  65, 
July  24,  1906. — C.  B.  Headly.  Rightly  named,  I  believe  ; 
ligules  strongly  pilose-tipped.  A  state  of  exposure ;  the 
leaves  are  accordingly  less  strongly  toothed  than  usual. — 
E.S.M.  Yes. — A.L.  Correctly  named. — E.F.L.  (2)  Wirks- 
worth,  Leics.,  July,  1906. — C.  B.  Headly.  Ligules  ciliate- 
tipped  ;  no  doubt  correct.  But  such  ill-prepared  specimens 
of  a  critical  species  are  useless. — E.S.M. 
H.  - .  Swithland,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  July  23, 
1906. — C.  B.  Headly.  Only  one  sheet  sent. — F.H.D. 
Under  H.  cacuminatum,  Dahlst.,  of  which  species  it  is 
the  prevailing  British  form. — A.L. 
H.  - .  Newly-made  railway  bank,  Uxbridge, 
Middlesex,  v.c.  21,  Sept.  3,  1907. — A.  Loydell.  H.  dia- 
phanoides,  Lindeb.  A  remarkable  extension  of  this 
species,  and,  of  course,  a  new  County  record. — E.F.L. 
Only  one  specimen  sent. — F.H.D.
