peduncular e? Wallr., as a variety of II. Pilosella ; but as lie quotes the 
same page of the Sched. Crit. (406) as that ou which Wallrotli 
gives his H. pedunculatum, no doubt Fries means to put II. peduncu- 
latum as a variety of II. Pilosella. Whether it be a variety or sub- 
species remains to be proved by raising the plant from seed. 
Hieracium dubium, Linn. Dr. Roy sends a specimen of a Hieracium 
which was noticed several years ago, by the Eev. James Keith, of 
Forres, on a piece of waste ground near that town. I believe it to be 
the plant formerly called, by Fries, II. collinum, but which he now 
considers to be the true II. dubium of Linnaeus. The periclines of 
the only Forres specimen I have seen are smaller, the peduncles 
longer, and the leaves on the stolons less developed than in the 
ordinary form of the Scandinavian H. dubium ; but Fries states that 
it is even more protean and polymorphous than the very variable 
H. preealtum, which it replaces in colder countries. I cannot, there- 
fore, speak with certainty as to the name of the Forres plant until 
I have seen a series of specimens. 
II. Borreri, Syme. Cultivated in Balmuto Garden. The root 
originally from Mr. Borrer, through Mr. TI. C. Watson. It is pro- 
bably the H. perfoliatum, Frolicli, though I have a specimen named 
‘ II. Grenier i,’’ Fries, collected at Freiburg by Dr. Lagger, and sent 
me last year by Dr. Huter, which comes very near it, though it is 
more hairy, and with larger and fewer anthodes. H. Grenieri is not 
described by Fries in his ‘Epicrisis Ilieraciorum ;’ but he proposes 
the name for a plant intermediate between//, cydonicefolium, Vill., and 
II. prenantltoides, Vill. Dr. Hooker, in the ‘ Student’s Flora,’ quotes 
my II. Borreri as a synonym of H. strictum, with which it has no 
affinity. Probably this is a clerical error in the position of the 
synonym, which ought to have been placed under prenanthoides. 
II. strictum , Fries. Banks of the Devon between the Crook 
of Devon and Rumbling Bridge, Kinross. It occurs very sparingly 
on rocks by the river-side ; and as the plant does not seem to be 
generally known, I thought it advisable to mention this station, 
although it has been long known in two others in the neighbourhood, 
viz. Glendevon, Perthshire, and Lethansdene, Fife. 
Borkhausia feetida, DC. “ Railway banks, Bathampton, near Bath, 
Somerset.” T. B. Floweh. — New to the province, but the designation 
“ railway banks ” suggests a suspicion that it is not native. The
