cultivation all these plants appear to be the same species. There is a 
Savoy plant of M. Arvet-Touvet’s, which he names H. buglossoides 
(Hier. des Alpes Franc., p. 72), with the description of which our 
plant seems rather to agree. — Wm. R. Linton. “I have sent a sheet 
of the plant from each of the three stations, Skye, Braemar, and 
Moffat, to M. Arvet-Touvet, and give below what he says. I may 
add to the note above that the florets of these plants are more or less 
imperfect, the ligules being closed and erect in the Skye and Braemar 
plants, and only half unfurled in the Moffat one. This singularity 
persists under cultivation.’— E. F. Linton. “Tout cela rentre dans 
H. buglossoides , var. subrude , ‘Hier. Alp. Franc.,’ p. 72. Le H. 
onosmoides que j’ai regu de Fries lui-meme! est bien different par son 
pericline oblong-subcylindrique et non arrondi-ovoide, glauque et non 
noiratre ou grisatre, couvert de poils blancs au sommet, qui le rend 
un peu velu, et non glanduleux ainsi que les pedoncules; par ses 
poils raide-setiformes et tres-longs, etc. Voyez la description de 
l’Epicrisis, p. 89, qui repond exactement a la plante que j’ai regue de 
Fries: — ‘involucra subcylindrica, pilis apice canis eglandulosis villosa’; 
‘setis longissimis strictis hispidum’; ‘folia caulina numerosa,’ &c. 
Lindeberg s’est trompe selon moi, et dans ses Exsiccata c’est 
egalement mon buglossoides qu’il a publie sous le nom d’ onosmoides ” — 
Arvet-Touvet. 
Hieracium Oreades , Fr., var. latifolium . Cult., June, 1890. Grown 
from seed brought from the East coast of Caithness in 1888. The wild 
plants grew with Oreades , differing from it in the broad dark green 
and much less glaucous foliage. The styles are yellow. The above 
name was suggested to me by Mr. F. J. Hanbury, who saw the 
growing plants in my garden. — Wm. R. Linton. “ I see nothing here 
but H. Schmidtii , Tausch., grown rather strong in garden soil. The 
account given above of the foliage of the wild plant agrees with this 
view. One specimen out of the lot shows an approach towards 
H. Oreades , and looks as if it might be a chance cross between 
H. Oreades and H. Schmidtii .” — E. F. Linton. “I concur in regard- 
ing this as good H. Schmidtii, Tausch.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. stenolepis, Lindeb. Limestone rocks, Coldwell, West Glouces- 
tershire, 5th June, 1890. — Augustin Ley. Basaltic cliffs, Sallagh 
Braes, Co. Antrim, 15th June, 1890. This is a fairly abundant 
Hawkweed on the basaltic cliffs of Co. Antrim, and I have little 
doubt but that it extends further north into Derry. It seems to have 
escaped observation, because we considered it to be typical murorum , 
until Mr. Hanbury detected it amongst our specimens. It is certainly 
absent from the siliceous rocks of the county of Down. — S. A. Stewart. 
“ The Coldwell specimens have rather broader blunter phyllaries and 
broader leaves than the type, and the Antrim specimens rather blacker 
ehads ; but both are rightly named.” — E. F. Linton. 
H. caledonicum , F. J. Hanb. Bettyhill, Sutherland, 30th July, 
1888. — Wm. R. Linton. “ All the specimens distributed are rightly 
named ; the one exception (which I have detained) is a weak specimen 
of the Bettyhill form of H. Schmidtii — E. F. Linton. 
H. nitidum , Backh. Mountain rocks, Craig-y-llyn, Glamorgan,
