fine  ;  otherwise,  they  did  not  appear  to  differ  materially 
from  Capel  Curig  examples  which  Mr.  Linton  had  agreed 
with  me  in  naming  H.  diaphanoides.  I  think  they  are 
best  referred  to  this,  as  a  strong  form,  due  to  situation — 
E.  S.  Marshall.  I  agree  to  this  as  H.  diaphanoides— E.F.L. 
H . diaphanoides  Lindeb.,  a  form  or  var.  (Ref.No.  3733). 
On  boulders  of  volcanic  ash,  Cwm  Idwal,  Carnarvonsh., 
v.c.  49  (between  1300  and  1800  feet),  July  13,  1912.  Styles 
livid ;  ligules  glabrous-tipped ;  leaves  much  tinged  with 
dark,  purplish  brown.  I  was  inclined  to  consider  this  as 
only  a  dwarf  state ,  due  to  exposure  ;  but  the  Rev.  E.  F. 
Linton  says  : — “  I  think  H.  diaphanoides  ;  perhaps  the  form 
referred  to  in  “British  Hieracia,”  p.  70;  or  perhaps  var. 
ornatum,  since  the  phyllaries  are  more  or  less  floccose.” 
W.  R.  Linton  wrote  ( loc .  cit.) “  A  form  occurs  in  Cwm 
Idwal,  Carnarvonsh.,  with  more  numerous  leaves,  very  dark, 
short  thick  heads,  and  phyllaries  incumbent.”  We  saw  no 
other  form  in  the  glen  ;  very  likely  it  is  the  same  thing  as 
var.  ornatum  Dahlst.,  which  I  believe  was  not  known  to 
him  when  he  was  preparing  the  monograph.  Probably 
smaller  than  usual,  as  there  had  been  a  long  spell  of  dry 
weather _ E.  S.  Marshall.  I  suggested  that  this  was  var. 
ornatum ,  as  the  plant  is  very  like  one  from  Clova,  so  named 
by  the  Rev.  W.  R.  Linton  for  me.  But  I  have  no  authentic 
specimen _ E.F.L. 
H.  gothicum  Fr.  By  a  streamlet,  near  Capel  Curig, 
Carnarvonsh.,  v.c.  49,  July  23,  1912.  (Ref.  No.  3741). 
Styles  yellow ;  ligule-tips  glabrous ;  phyllaries  closely 
appressed.  The  Rev.  E.  F.  Linton  endorses  the  name. —

H.  [tridentatum  Fr.] .  Road-side  near  Wych  Cross,  E. 
Sussex,  v.c.  14,  Sept.  3,  1912 _ R.  S.  Standen.  Certainly 
not  that,  but  H.  boreale  Fr.,  and  perhaps  a  variety.  One 
of  my  two  examples  is  abnormal,  owing  to  a  gall,  low  down 
on  the  stem _ E.S.M. 
H. - ?  Banks  of  Ouse,  Lindfield,  E.  Sussex,  v.c.  14, 
Sept.  4,  1912 _ R.  S.  Standen.  Under  H.  boreale  Fr.;  it 
agrees  better  with  the  description  of  var.  virgultorum 
(Jord.)  in  W.  R.  Linton’s  “British  Hieracia,”  p.  91,  than 
with  any  of  the  other  varieties  mentioned  there — E.S.M.
