Hieracium sciaphilum , Uechtritz. Small mountain form, mountain 
banks, Nantymwyn, Carmarthenshire, 6th August 1897. Verified by 
Mr. Hanbury. — Augustin Ley. Also from Benthall, Salop, July 1897. 
— W. H. Painter. “Yes.” — F. J. Hanbury. Also from Boars Hill, 
Berkshire, and Burnham, Bucks. — G. Claridge Deuce. 
Hieracium , sp. This is an interesting plant, common on dry 
mountain banks in the neighbourhood of Nantymwyn, Carmarthenshire, 
and in the adjoining parts of the counties of Brecon and Cardigan. 
Mr. Hanbury, to whom I shewed the dried specimens, was unable to 
suggest a name. I have the plant under cultivation, and this may 
very probably prove it to belong to some well-known species much 
reduced by the dry mountain situations in which it grew. With it 
grew a form of H. sciaphilum , Uecht., similarly reduced, of which I 
send some specimens. Typical sciaphilum was, however, common in 
the neighbourhood, but I found nothing in the neighbourhood of 
which the plant at present under notice could be a reduced form. 
Style slightly darkened. — A ugustin Ley. “Probably abnormally 
starved and reduced H. sciaphilum , Uechtr.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. lapponicum , Fries. Root, Cwm Tarell, Brecon ; cult. 9th 
July 1897. I have failed to find this plant as yet elsewhere in 
Breconshire but in its one station. I find it to have a considerable 
range along the mountain side, and not confined to the one spot 
where first discovered. — A ugustin Ley. “This is the hairy form 
or variety of H. lapponicum .” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. sparsifolium , Lindeb. Roots from Nant Francon and Bethesda, 
Carnarvonshire; cult. 9th July 1897 . — Augustin Ley. “Yes.” — 
F. J. Hanbury. 
H. rigidum , Hartrn., var. pullatum, Dahlst. Rocky banks of the 
Elan, Radnorshire, nth July 1889. Gathered in company with Mr. 
F. J. Hanbury, and subsequently verified in his herbarium by Prof. 
Elfstrand. Styles livid. — A ugustin Ley. “ Correctly named.” —

sent to me is H. boreale, Fries.” — F. J. Hanbury. “ So are mine.” —
