1 6 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Mr. F. Stratton from cliffs, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, 25th Sep- 
tember, 1879. 
The Rev. E. F. Linton sends a Hieradum from Scout’s Scar, 
Kendal, 5th July, 1875, which Mr. Baker thinks is anglicum, and 
Dr. Boswell names H. pallidum , var. crinigerum ; the latter adds the 
following note : — “ This is the H. cinerascens of British botanists ; but 
not, I think, of Jordan, which is much nearer H. murorum than to 
H. pallidum .” 
Hieracium coesium Fries. From steep banks of the Tees at 
Langden Beck, Teesdale, S. Durham, 2nd August, 1879. Dr. 
Boswell believes this plant to be rightly named coesium as applied 
by British authors ; but that it is not the H. coesiujn of Lindberg’s 
‘ Hieracia Scandinavia exsiccata ; ’ he expects Lindberg would call 
the Teesdale plant a form of H. muronwi . 
Hieracium vulgatum , Fries, var. rosulatum E.B. ed. iii., non 
H. rosulatum , Lindberg, ‘Hier. Scand. No. 117.’ Sent by Dr. 
Boswell from Burntisland, Fife, July, 1879, with the following 
remarks: — “ This is the common form of H. vulgatum in Scotland 
and the north of England. The specimens now sent had fuscous 
styles, but it also occurs with yellow r styles. The leaves are always 
narrower, and thinner in texture, and less numerous on the stem than 
in the form of H. vulgatum, common in the south of England.” 
Hieracum strictum, Fries, and Hieracium Dewari Bosw r ell. Dr. 
Boswell sends these species with the following note : — “I send a 
few cultivated specimens of these to show the great difference in the 
fully developed inflorescence — the H. strictum from Hobbister, 
Orphir, Orkney, the H. Dewari from Glen Quay, Glen Devon, 
Perth, cultivated in Balmuto Garden. A curious result of cultivation 
is that both become nearly glabrous in the open ground : wdiile in 
pits in a cool green-house they retain then hairiness — showing of how 7 
little specific importance characters drawn from pubescence are in 
this genus.” 
Hieracium crocatum , Fries. Sent by Mr. S. A. Stew 7 art from 
basaltic cliffs, Cave Hill, Belfast, 15th September, 1879, and by Dr. 
Boswell from Corby Den, Kingcaussie, Kincardineshire, September, 
1879. 
A Hieracium sent by the Rev. E. F. Linton as crocatum from 
Glen Lochray, Perthshire, 13th August, 1878, is thus referred to by 
Dr. Boswell : — “ It is I believe a stunted specimen of H. corymbosum 
or possibly H. strictum . I have the greatest difficulty in distinguishing 
these two plants, if indeed they be tw 7 o, but the reticulation of the 
underside of the leaves agrees better with that of the specimens of 
H. corymbosum than of those of H strictum in Lindberg’s ‘Hieracia 
Scandinavia exsiccata,’ though the panicle is less compound than is 
usual in H. corymbosum of the same size.” 
Hieracium boreale , Fries, var. Dr. Boswell sends a variety 
from Deeside, opposite Kingcaussie, Aberdeenshire, September, 1879, 
with the following note: — “ A form with the upper and knver leaves 
less dissimilar thon usual. Specimens from this station in my 
herbarium are named “ H. gothicum ,” though afterwards I rightly 
named them H. boreale. Mr. Brotherston says his specimens had 
yellow styles, those now sent had livid styles; but I have come to the
