leaved form, with intensely red flowers, grows in the sub- 
alpine meadows which are cut for hay. When brought into 
my garden, its flowers became paler in colour, but its foliage 
more luxuriant. This plant is almost identical with these 
specimens of H. aurantiacum L., which was probably first 
obtained from a similar locality, where the peculiarly bright 
colour of its flowers would attract attention. 
In alpine pastures at higher altitudes near St. Anton quite 
different forms occur, some with red and some with orange 
flowers, but all with the lingulate leaves of H. brunneo- 
croceum. These are usually relatively dwarf plants in the 
wild state, but one form that I cultivated in the garden 
quickly developed the very rampant habit of H. brunneo- 
croceum, to which it was clearly closely allied. 
Last summer in Graubunden I saw hawkweeds of this 
group in several localities, but always in extremely small 
quantity. They were all in rough, alpine pastures, sometimes 
among scattered bush. These plants were tall and very 
slender ; one, with bright red flowers and fairly broad leaves, 
would come under H. aurantiacum L., but the rest, with more 
orange flowers, were nearer to H. brunneo-croceum. None 
of them exactly matched those from St. Anton, and I have 
not yet attempted to identify them with Naegeli and Peter’s 
sub-species.- — H. W. Pugsley.
