I32 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OE THE BRtTISH ISLES. 
Pier is hieracioides , L., var. arvalis. Sandy bank near Tabor 
Chapel, Jersey, July, 1885; hedge bank near Three Cocks, Brecon- 
shire, Aug., 1885 .— Augustin Ley. “ The Brecon plant is not so 
satisfactory as that from Jersey, but belongs, I should say, rather to 
arvalis than the type.” — J. G. 
Lactuca Scariola, L. Chatteris, Cambs., Aug., 1885. A garden 
weed introduced in 1879 from Meadlands Drove. — A. Fryer. 
Crepis foetida , L. In great plenty near Greenhithe, Kent, July, 
1885. Most of the specimens are branched from above the middle, 
like C. taraxacifolia. — W. R. Linton. 
Hieracium nigrescens, Willd. Glen Callater, S. Aberdeen, Aug., 
1884. — W. R. Linton. “Probably correctly named, but from colour 
of styles not being noted, it is impossible to declare with certainty.”* 
J. Backhouse. 
H. chrysanthum, Backh. Glen Callater, S. Aberdeen, Aug., 1884. 
W. R. Linton. “ The same remark applies as to the preceding. 
Here the styles ought to be pure yellow.” — J. Backhouse. 
H. anglicum , Fr. Braemar, S. Aberdeen, Aug., 1884. — W. R. 
Linton. “ Near var. acutifolium .” — J. Backhouse. Glen Shee, 
Perth, Aug., 1884. — -W. R. Linton. “Yes, but not typical.” — J. 
Backhouse. Quiraing, Skye, Aug., 1884. — E. F. Linton. “Yes.” 
J. Backhouse. Basaltic rocks, Winch Bridge, Teesdale, Durham, 
July, 1885. — J. Soutter. “Yes.” — J. Backhouse. Killarney, Kerry, 
July, 1885. — E. F. Linton. “ H. iricuin certe.” — J. Backhouse. 
H \ iricum , Fr. Sligachan and Uig, Skye, August, 1884. — W. R. 
Linton. “Yes.” — J. Backhouse. Of one of the specimens from 
Sligachan, however, Mr. Backhouse writes, “ I am doubtful about 
this. In many respects it resembles the H. cerinthoides , a, of my 
monograph more than H. iricum .” 
H. Gibsoni, Backh. Root from Settle, Yorks. Leg., A. Craig 
Christie. Hort ., Croydon, 1885. — Arthur Bennett. “Styles? 
probably correct.” — J. Backhouse. 
H. caesium , Fr., var. cambricum , Baker. Root from Great Orme’s 
Head, N. Wales. Leg., E. Straker. Hort., Croydon. — A. Bennett. 
Probably depauperated H. ccesium. “ Styles (if £ livid ’) would have 
settled it.” — J. Backhouse. 
H. vulgatum, Fr. var. nemorosum. Magdalen College Water Walks, 
Oxon, August, 1885. — G. C. Druce. “A form of H. vulgatum, no 
doubt.” — J. Backhouse. 
Erica Mackaiana, Bab. Roundstone, Galway, August, 1885. 
E. F. and W. R. Linton, 
Solanum nigrum , L., with bright green berries. Waste ground* 
near Bournemouth, October, 1884. — E. A. Lomax. 
Lyciurn barbarum, L. Hedges about Barrow, N. Somerset, Aug. 
1885. — J. W. White, 
Verb as cum nigro - pulverulentum. The specimens I send were 
gathered from two plants, growing within 100 yards of one another, 
on a chalky hill-side, Hellesden, Norfolk, E., July 20th, 1885. Both 
plants were a good deal branched, and had woolly-pubescent leaves, 
but the hairs on the filaments were purple, as in V nigrum. The 
station is not a new one for this hybrid. — E. F. Linton.
