Hieracium murorum , L. Bulstrode, Bucks. The old records are 
unsatisfactory. — G. C. Druce. 
Hieracium murorum , Linn., var. lepistodes, Johanss. Root from 
limestone dales near Buxton; cult. 27th May 1897. I have had this 
plant from more than one of the limestone dales near Buxton, Derby- 
shire ; and (through the kindness of the Rev. W. H. Purchas) from the 
neighbourhood of Alstonfield, Staffordshire, for many years. It keeps 
all its characteristics remarkably well in cultivation, and under 
cultivation stands clearly apart from the plant sent from Dyffryn 
Crawnon, Breconshire, to which I think in a wild state it bears con- 
siderable resemblance. — Augustin Ley. “ I think correctly named, 
though cultivation seems to have developed more ciliation of the tips 
of the phyllaries than is found in the wild state.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. murorum , Linn., var. caliginosum ? Lime rocks, Dyffryn 
Crawnon, Breconshire, May and June 1894 and 1896; also cult, 
end of May 1897. For the only account as yet given of this plant, 
see ‘Rep. Bot. Exchange Club’ 1893, p. 48. {H cinerascens, Jord.) 
I have had it under cultivation for some years. Styles yellow. — 
Augustin Lev. “ It is impossible to name single specimens 
(whether cultivated or otherwise) with any degree of accuracy in such 
cases as the present, where so many varieties of a single species 
occur. But this is certainly not caliginosum , which has ciliate ligules, 
and hardly any (? any on some specimens) floccose down on the 
involucres; phyllaries porrect in bud. It is much nearer crebridensP —

H. murorum , Linn. ; var. pachyphyllum, Purchas. Symonds Yat, 
Monmouthshire, and Great Doward. Herefordshire, May 1894. The 
plant described by the Rev. W. H. Purchas, ‘ Journ. Bot.’ (1894), 
p. 1 14. — Augustin Ley. “Yes.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. e2iprepes, F. J. Hanb. Taren-r-Esgob, Breconshire, July 1897. 
This well-marked species grows abundantly and finely on the old red 
sandstone cliffs of the Black Mountain, in Hereford, Brecon, and 
Monmouthshires, keeping its characters well. — Augustin Ley. 
“Yes.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. Adlerzii , Almq. Rocky stream side, Llanwrtyd, Breconshire, 
13th July 1897. These specimens are far from being good and 
typical, the characteristic toothing of the leaves being absent. I send 
them, however, being unable this year to send typical specimens, 
thinking that some of the members may be glad to possess specimens 
of a rare species. — Augustin Ley. “Yes.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. subanfractum , Marshall. Origin, Corrie Ardran, Mid Perth ; 
cult. Shirley, June 1896. — W. R. Linton. “Yes.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
IP. sciaphi/um, XJecht. Eddlesborough, Bucks, 1897. New county 
record. — G. C. Druce.
