y.c.  24,  Aug.  22,  1910.  The  Rev.  A.  Ley,  to  whom  these 
specimens  were  submitted,  writes :  “  This  is  a  form  of 
H.  sciaphilum  which  I  know,  and  have  been  in  the  habit 
of  calling  sylvicola  (ined.)  in  my  own  herbarium — with 
whitish  heads,  more  hair  and  fewer  glands  than  usual. 
Usually  in  woods.”  He  recommends  their  distribution. 
Both  localities  (about  1  to  1-^  miles  apart)  were  on  steep 
rubbly  ground  on  a  limestone  hill  of  the  Cotswolds  on  the 
borders  of  thick  beech  woods. — F.  L.  Foord-Kelcey.  I 
had  thought  of  var.  transiens  for  this,  before  seeing  Mr. 
Ley  s  note  ;  but  as  he  called  it  his  /.  sylvicola,  one  of 
four  forms  into  which  he  divided  the  species,  I  leave  it 
there  for  the  present ;  though  my  specimens  lack  the 
ciliate  ligule  of  H.  sciaphilum. — E.F.L.  This  rather  weak 
material  has  not  the  habit  of  the  type  ;  nor  can  I  find  any 
trace  of  the  ciliation  on  the  ligule-tips,  which  is  so 
characteristic  of  that  plant.  I  believe  it  to  be  the  var. 
transiens  Ley. — E.S.M. 
H.  Deivari  Bosw.  Dalmally,  Argyllsh.,  v.c.  98,  July  25, 
1910.  Styles  sooty ;  ligule-tips  pilose.  Characteristic 
specimens  of  this  very  distinct  species. — Edward  S. 
Marshall. 
H.  protr actum  Lindeb.  Origin,  S.  Breconsh.,  Cult. 
July  and  Aug.  1910.  I  am  sorry  to  have  to  question 
whether  this  plant  originated  in  Brecon  or  not :  but  I 
searched  for  it  in  the  Breconshire  glens  in  1908  without 
result :  and  the  balance  of  probability  is  now  in  favour  of 
its  having  originally  come  from  a  more  northern  county.

H.  stictophyllum  Dahlst.  Dalmally,  Argyllsh.,  v.c. 
98,  July  5  and  6,  1910.  Styles  yellow.  This  is  not  un¬ 
frequent  in  the  Orchy  Valley ;  a  form  with  unspotted 
leaves  occurs  sparingly  with  the  normal  plant. — Edward  S. 
Marshall.  Confirmed. — E.F.L. 
H.  strictum  Fr.,  var.  angustum  (Lindeb.).  (Ref.  No. 
8582).  By  the  River  Orchy,  Dalmally,  v.c.  98,  Argyllsh., 
v.c.  98,  July  25,  1910.  Styles  yellow  ;  ligule-tips  glabrous. 
In  my  opinion  both  H.  angustum  and  H.  reticulatum 
deserve  specific  rank,  and  are  as  well  marked  as  a  good 
many  of  our  segregates  in  the  genus ;  so  that  they  ought
