THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Hieracium chrysanthum , Backh., var. microcephalum , Backh. In a 
gully on Helvellyn, Westmoreland, Aug., 1890. — H. E. Fox. Clova, 
Forfar, 19th and 21st July, 1890. — Wm. R. Linton. “The latter are 
undoubtedly right. The Helvellyn plant is quite distinct ; I do not 
know it.” — E. F. Linton. “Mr. Fox’s plant is unquestionably the 
plant Mr. Backhouse has called H . chrysanthum , var. microcephalum , 
of which there are specimens thus labelled in his herbarium. It is, 
however, so different from plants placed by him under the same name 
from near Braemar, that I expect it will have to be distinguished by a 
separate name. Mr. Backhouse (Monogr. p. 36) says that Fries 
referred the var. microcephalum to his H. atratu m, and admits that its 
attachment to H. chrysanthum is somewhat doubtful. I do not like 
to definitely commit myself on the point, but am inclined to think, 
on present knowledge, that we cannot do better than place this form 
under Fries’ H. atratum — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. anglicum , Fr. Dove Crags, Fairfield (2,000 feet to 2,500 feet), 
Westmoreland, Aug., 1890. — H. E. Fox. “The specimens with 
fully expanded florets are type anglicum. The remainder with no 
perfect ligules and prominent styles, are a 1 stylosa’ form of a 
variety of H. anglicum , unnamed as far I know ; these have smoother 
stems, more glabrescent petioles, a stalked stem-leaf, and phyllaries 
with a floccose edge and a senescent tip.” — E. F. Linton. “ I have a 
large series of this (latter) plant from various parts of the Lake 
District; and have had it in cultivation for three years, where it 
maintains its distinctive habit. As it seems generally distributed in 
the Lake District, and does not, to my knowledge, occur outside it, 
I have thought of giving it a local name denoting if possible that 
portion of the kingdom.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H ' Schmidtii , Tausch., var. Clova, Forfar, July, 1889, and cult., 
Aug., 1890. This plant grows at Clova, on a gravelly bank over- 
hanging the river. Styles pure yellow. Dr. Lindeberg said on wild 
specimens gathered in 1887, “ H. cinerascens , Jord., verum f 
minus glandulosaP — W. R. Linton. 
H. Schmidtii , Tausch., var. Cult., June, 1890, from seeds from 
the rocks above Loch Wharral, Clova, Forfar. Styles pure yellow. — 
Wm. R. Linton. “This is a plant allied to H. Schmidtii and H. 
murorum , but probably a good species, which I have collected and 
grown since 1887, but not as yet published.” — E. F. Linton. 
H. . No. 11. Twll Du, Carnarvonshire, August, 1890. 
Styles livid. — J. E. Griffith. “Form of H. Schmidtii , Tausch.” — 
E. F. Linton. “ I see nothing against your suggestion of this being a 
form of H. Schmidtii; in fact I think it certainly is such.” — F. J. 
Hanbury. 
H. onosmoides , Fr. ? Isle of Skye, August, 1888; and cultivated 
from Skye seeds, September, 1890. Braemar, S. Aberdeen, July, 
1889 ; near Moffat, Dumfriesshire, July, 1889 and 1890. My brother 
gave this name to one form of the Braemar plant (not the one I am 
chiefly sending), and for that form of the plant Dr. Lindeberg con- 
firmed the naming. The form I send from Braemar is one which Dr. 
Lindeberg said he knew in Scandinavia, but had no name for. In
