REPORT FOR 1887. 185 
Hieracium holosericeum^ Backh. Lochnagar, S. Aberdeen, 6th 
August, 1887. — W. R, Linton. “Correct” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. calenduliflorum^ Backh. Lochnagar, S. Aberdeen, 6th August, 
1887, — W. R. Linton. The specimen sheet retained by me for 
examination was submitted to Mr. Hanbury, who says the “ larger 
specimen is H. chrysanthum^ the smaller one H. calenduliflorum^ 
though I know Mr. Linton collected the latter species abundantly, 
and in fine condition. The bulk, therefore, of what are sent out 
are probably correct, though I have not seen them. The shaggy 
involucre of H. cale 7 ididiflorum at once distinguishes it from H. 
chrysanthiimd — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. gracilentiim^ Backh. Lochnagar, S. Aberdeen, 6th August, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. “Correctly named.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
sp. (i) plant, Ben Hope, Sutherland, August, 1886; (2) 
flower and leaf = id. cult., Shirley, 15th July, 1887. W. R. 
Linton. “AT. nigrescens^'^'^di.^ var.,” fide Lindeberg and F. J. 
Hanbury. Referred to in ‘ Top. Bot.’ as supposed error for Vice- 
county 108. 
H. Imgulatujn, Backh. Glen Fiadh, Clova, Forfar, i^h August, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. 
H. senescens, Backh. Glen Callater, S. Aberdeen, 8th August, 
1887. — W. R. Linton. 
H. gracilentum^ Backh. Ben-na-Bourd, S. Aberdeen, loth 
August, 1887. — W. R. Linton. “This plant is absolutely identical 
with specimens in Mr. Backhouse’s herbarium, which are called by 
him H. cJirysanthum^ b. 77 iicrocephalu 7 n^ and which are also from Ben- 
na-Bourd.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. a 7 iglicu 77 i^ Fr., cermthifor 77 ie^ Backh. in litt. Settle, Yorkshire, 
July, 1887. — VV. H. Painter. 
H. cr mi ger 11771 ^ Fries. Clova, Forfar, 13th August, 1887. — W. R. 
Linton. 
H. pallidu 77 i^ Biv., crmigeru 77 i^ Fr. Craig Breidden, Montgomery- 
shire, 13th June, 1887. Great Howard Hill, Herefordshire, nth 
June, 1887. — Augustin Ley. “I believe these two plants to be 
the true H. lasiophylhmi of Koch. I know Mr. Backhouse considers 
them so, and I have just received back a plant so named by Dr. 
Lindeberg from another part of Britain.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. arge7iteimi, Fries. Clova, Forfar, 15th August, 1887 ; and 
Glen Fiadh, Clova, Forfar, 15th August, 1887. — W. R. Linton. 
H. ccesiu77i^ Fr. (?). River Clunie, Braemar, S. Aberdeen, 5th 
August, 1887. — W. R. Linton. “Certainly not typical H. ccesumi, 
Fr., and I do not think it can be included under that species. ^ It is 
a form that is found in many parts of Scotland, and must, I think, be 
described under a new name. I have it from Clova, Sutherland, 
&c.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. c(Esiu77i^ Fr., ca77ibricii77t. Banks of the Wye, Erwood, Brecon, 
and Radnor, 15th June, 1887. — Augustin Ley. “Though resem- 
bling the Gt. Orme’s Head plant in some respects, it cannot be 
united with it. Its coarse habit, ciliated leaves, &c., separate it from 
Mr. Baker's plant. I have the two plants in cultivation, side by side,
