H.  crocatum  Fr.  (Styles  olive).  Vale  of  St.  John, 
Keswick,  Cumberland,  v.c.  70,  Sept.  4,  1908.— R.  S.  Standen. 
This  belongs  to  H.  boreale  Fr — E.S.M.  Leaves  much  too 
clasping  and  broad-based  for  crocatum ,  and  flowering 
season  too  late :  under  boreale ,  aggregate _ A.  Ley.  II. 
boreale  Fr _ E.F.L. 
- .  Cropston,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Sept.  5,  1908 _ 
F.  L.  Foord-Kelcey.  H.  boreale  Fr.,  under  group  obli- 
quum  Jord.,  characterised  by  long  hairs  on  peduncles  but 
nearly  epilose  heads — A.  Ley.  With  these  green  pubescent 
heads  I  should  call  this  var.  Hervieri  Arv.-Touv.— E.F.L. 
H.  boreale  Fr.  (dry  ground  form).  Rocks  at  Bowder- 
stone,  Borrowdale,  Cumberland,  v.c.  70,  Aug.  19,  1908 _ 
R.  S.  Standen.  H.  boreale  Fr.,  apparently  from  a  dry 
bank,  rock,  or  wall:  a  freak  in  the  opposite  direction  to 
the  next  sheet _ E.F.L. 
H.  boreale  Fr.  (luxuriant  form  from  damp  spot  by 
roadside).  Vale  of  St.  John,  Keswick,  Cumberland,  v.c. 
70,  Sept.  4,  1908 — R.  S.  Standen.  H.  boreale  Fr.  in  the 
main,  but  with  very  extraordinary  foliage  for  that  species. 
If  hybrids  were  frequent  in  the  genus,  instead  of  exceed- 
ingly  rare,  I  should  imagine  this  was  one,  but  the  variation 
may  be  only  a  freak  of  luxuriance _ E.F.L. 
H.  umbellatum  L.,  var. - .  Origin,  Nant  Francon, 
Carnarvonsh.  Cult.  Aug.  12,  1908.  For  the  name  of  this 
plant  see  B.E.C.  Rept.  1907,  p.  801.  I  have  given  it  here 
the  varietal  name  “ paniculatum  Cariot,”  this  name  having 
been  assented  to  by  the  Rev.  W.  R.  Linton  in  1906.  It 
will  be  seen  that  the  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  ( l.c .)  questions 
this;  and  I  think  rightly — A.  Ley.  On  seeing  better 
specimens  and  better  dried  than  two  years  ago  (see  Rept. 
B.E.C.  1907,  p.  801)  I  think  this  may  be  placed  under  var. 
paniculatum  Cariot,  at  least  temporarily.  It  differs  from 
the  Bangor  plant  in  the  colour  of  the  styles,  but  has 
much  the  same  habit,  phyllaries  and  leaves.— E.F.L. 
H.  umbellatum  L.,  var.  c or onopi folium  Fr.  Pointed 
out  to  me  in  Holme  Fen,  Hunts.,  v.c.  31,  (in  a  part  used 
for  turf  cutting),  by  Mr.  E.  W.  Hunnybun  ;  Aug.  28,  1908. 
A.  Ley.  I  agree — E.F.L.  Very  narrow-leaved  for  this 
variety ,  perhaps  it  is  rather  referable  to  var.  linariifolium
