to  the  Club  unnamed  ( see  Kept.  1907-8,  p.  148).  It  had 
been  known  to  my  brother  and  myself  (as  our  No.  37)  for 
some  years  previously,  but  never  found  in  sufficient 
quantity  for  distribution.  It  is  allied  to  H.  lasiophyllum 
Koch,  but  distinguished  from  that  species  by  its  livid 
styles,  broader  leaves,  etc, — E.  F.  Linton.  I  was  with 
Mr.  Linton  when  be  collected  this  ;  it  is  satisfactory  to 
have  authentic  specimens,  but  these  are  poorly  dried,  and 
hardly  do  justice  to  such  a  fine  plant. — E.S.M. 
H. - .  (Ref.  Nos.  3602,  3603,  3605  to  3608.  From 
several  stations  near  Dalwhinnie,  E.  Inverness,  v.c.  96, 
July,  1911;  also  gathered  on  rocks  facing  the  west  side 
of  the  Sow  of  Atholl,  Mid  Perth,  v.c.  88.  Ranges  from 
2000  to  2300  feet  or  more.  This  well-marked  plant  seems 
to  be  identical  with  a  hawkweed  (my  Nos.  3284  and  3285) 
found  by  Mr.  W.  A.  Shoolbred  and  myself  only  on  the 
limestone  near  Inchnadamph,  W.  Sutherland,  in  1908, 
whereas  in  these  Invernessshire  localities  the  soil  is 
non-calcareous.  The  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  suggested  com¬ 
parison  with  H.  sanguineum  Ley,  and  there  are  several 
points  of  resemblance,  but  also  plenty  of  differences ; 
and  I  believe  it  to  be  distinct  from  ail  our  accepted 
British  species. 
Plant  6  to  16  inches  high.  Primordial  root-leaves 
round  to  oval,  entire  or  somewhat  toothed  at  the  base ; 
the  rest  varying  in  shape  from  oval  to  oval-oblong  or 
oblong-lanceolate,  their  tips  rounded  or  acute,  usually 
apiculate ;  truncate  or  rounded  at  the  base  ;  sometimes 
entire  or  very  obscurely  toothed,  but  frequently  with 
many  scalloped  or  repand  teeth  in  their  lower  half;  all 
grass-green  (often  purplish  in  exposure),  fringed  with 
rather  long  white  hairs,  glabrous  above,  more  or  less 
hairy  below  (chiefly  on  the  midrib);  stem -leaves  subsessile, 
sometimes  none  in  small  plants,  otherwise  1  to  2  (often 
one  near  the  base,  with  a  second  minute,  bract-like  one 
subtending  the  inflorescence),  variable  in  size,  shape,  and 
outline,  but  generally  like  a  smaller  edition  of  the  root- 
leaves.  Petioles  a  third  to  half  the  length  of  the  blade, 
shaggy  with  white  hairs,  as  is  the  base  of  the  stem. 
Inflorescence  often  branching  rather  more  than  half-way 
up  the  stem  in  luxuriant  specimens ;  peduncles  nearly 
straight,  rarely  arcuate,  the  terminal  often  exceeded  by
