Hieracium anglicum Fr., var. cerinthiforme Backh. (Ref. No. 
636). IBfapool Burn, W. Sutherland, v.c. 108, July 20, 1908. — 
W. A. Snoolbred. A well-marked form of this distinct variety, 
very similar to that so abundant near Clova. The leaves of var. 
cerinthiforme vary from subentire to deeply dentate, and the 
heads are sometimes much darker and more glandular than in 
o 
these specimens, simulating those of II. Marsmlli Linton. It is 
noteworthy that Backhouse (Mon. Hier. p. 36) placed II. anglicum 
among the nigrescentia.— H. W. Pugsley. 
II. silvaticum Gouan. Burford Bridge, Surrey, v.c. 17, Aug. 
5, 1924. — J. L. O’Loughlin. This interesting hawkweed is not 
H. sylvaticum Gouan, which differs essentially by the clothing of 
its heads not being wholly or even chiefly glandular, and is not 
known, I think, in the south of England. Mr. O’Loughlin’s 
plant falls within Linton’s group subvulgata, among the species 
characterised by “heads glandular, epilose or nearly so.” Its 
habit recalls H. pellucidum Laest. (II. lucidulum Ley), but its 
leaves are less truncate-based than in that plant, and it lacks the 
conspicuously white pappus. It agrees closely with Linton’s 
description of II. serratifrons, v$r. lepistoides (Johansson), which is 
recorded for Surrey, and with specimens so named in Herb. 
Mus. Brit. The forms of II. serratifrons occur chiefly in the 
west and south of England, and seem to require comparison with 
the French as well as the Scandinavian allied forms.— H.W.P. 
H. [ gothicum Fries]. Styles yellow. Wet banks above Cwm- 
y-glo, Carnarvon, v.c. 49, Aug. 30, 1924. — J. L. O’Loughlin. Is 
II. umbellatum. — H.W.P. 
H. rigidum Hartm. Burford Bridge, Surrey, v.c. 17, June 14, 
1923. — J. L. O’Loughlin. This is not H. rigidum. but one of the 
Eu-Vidgata. It is very close to II. vulgatum Fr., but its cauline 
leaves are abnormally numerous, broad, and glabrate for that 
species, and its heads too glandular. I collected this plant at 
Burford Bridge in 1922, and have it under cultivation; but I 
cannot name it at present. I suspect that, like the spotted- 
leaved hawkweed of the railway banks near Kingswood, it is a 
recent introduction in Surrey, probably during the great war, 
and perhaps from France. In June, 1921, 1 gathered at St. 
Pierre Vauvray, in Normandy, an almost exactly similar hawk- 
weed, which remains unnamed. — H.W.P. 
II. cambricum F. J. Hanb. Great Orme’s Head, Carnarvon, 
1912. — W. A. Shoolbred. Correct. The specimens are only in 
bud, but are quite unmistakeable. — H.W.P.
