H.  lingulatum  Backh.  forma.  (Ref.  Nos.  3275,  3276, 
3280).  Near  Inchnadamph,  W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  July, 
1908.  All  the  H.  lingulatum  that  we  met  with  in  this 
neighbourhood  had  yellow  styles.  It  descends  to  about 
1000  feet. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
H.  rubicundum  F.  J.  Hanb.  Frequent  near  Inchna¬ 
damph,  W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  July,  1908. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
H.  nitidum  Backh.,  var.  siluriense  F.  J.  Hanb.  Taf- 
fechan  Glen,  July  13,  and  Fan-las  Waterfall,  July  15,  1908: 
both  localities  in  the  Brecon  Beacon  range,  v.c.  42.  This 
plant  is  abundant  in  the  Brecon  Beacons,  occurring  on 
bleak  mountain  rocks  at  2500  feet,  river-side  glens,  and 
even  hedge-banks  as  low  down  as  1000  feet.  It  varies 
greatly  in  stature  and  in  the  breadth  and  toothing  of  the 
leaves,  often  suggesting  type  nitidum  ;  yet  always  really 
the  variety. — A.  Ley. 
H.  silvaticum  Gouan,  var.  tricolor  W.  R.  Linton. 
Origin,  W.  Yorks.  Cult.  June  8,  1908. — A.  Ley. 
H. - .  (Ref.  Nos.  3284,  3285).  Near  Inchna¬ 
damph,  on  limestone,  W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  July  15, 
1908.  1  send  my  few  remaining  specimens  (some  of  them 
not  very  good)  of  this  peculiar  hawkweed,  as  yet  not 
identified.  The  Rev.  A.  Ley  referred  it  to  H.  silvaticum 
Gouan,  var.  tricolor  W.  R.  Linton  ;  but  it  differs  from  the 
description  of  that  ( inter  alia)  by  its  very  glandular  heads 
and  very  ciliate  ligules ;  nor  should  I  consider  it  well 
placed  under  H.  silvaticum.  The  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  says 
that  it  does  not  match  his  Yorkshire  specimens  of  var. 
tricolor ,  and  writes:  “  To  me,  this  is  a  new  form.  Points :- 
Leaves  grass-green,  at  least  in  shade,  often  purple-marked. 
Heads  extremely  grey-floccose,  with  many  glands.  Phyl- 
laries  long,  porrect  in  bud.  Styles  darkened.  Ligules 
very  ciliate... Confined  to  the  limestone.  Local  species?” 
The  leaves  are  fringed  with  long,  white,  crisped  hairs _

H.  silvaticum  Gouan,  var.  subcyaneum  W.  R.  Linton. 
(Styles  yellow).  Ashwood  Dale,  July  17,  1903,  and  Black- 
well  Mill,  Great  Rocks  Dale,  July  9,  1903,  Derbysh.,  v.c.  57; 
two  of  the  original  stations  for  this  variety _ E.  F.  Linton. 
H.  silvaticum  Gouan,  var.  subtenue  W.  R.  Linton. 
(Ref.  Nos.  3318,  3319,  3320).  Streamsides  in  the  Oykell 
Bridge  neighbourhood,  E.  Ross,  v.c.  106,  July  10,  1908.
