REPORT FOR 1 893.

Hieracium . Riverside rocks, Mellte glen, Breconshire, 
22nd August, 1892. This plant has been seen both by Mr. Hanbury 
and Rev. E. F. Linton, and is I believe pronounced by them a form 
of H. tridentatum , Fr. In cultivation it looks to me very distinct. 
Styles dark ; buds cylindrical, often over-topping the flowers. — 
Augustin Ley. “ H. rigidum , Hartm., var. nidense , Hanb.” — F. J. H. 
II. Dewari , Bosw. Rocks by alpine stream, near Kingshouse, 
Argyll, and Buchaille Etive, Argyll, 26th and 28th July, 1893. 
Coll. E. S. Marshall and W. A Shoolbred. Comm. W A. 
Shoolbred. “ Yes.” — F. J. H. 
H. reticulatum , Lindeb. Riverbank, Inveroran, Argyll, 1st 
August, 1893; and Strathfillan, Mid Perth, 9th August, 1893. — 
W. A. Shoolbred. “This I think may be best placed as a form of 
H. reticulatum , Lindeb., though approaching II. corymbosum much 
more than the Scandinavian form does ” — F. J. H. 
II Eupatorium , Griseb. —corymbosum, Fr. Banks of R. Ruchill, 
below Dalrannoch, Comrie, Perthshire. August, 1891. This species 
grew with H auratum , Fr., and in some specimens of the series seems 
to be beginning to merge into it — indeed it was hard to draw a clear 
line between them. — J. Cosmo Melvill. Mr. Hanbury has made 
no comment on this. — J. G. 
II. Eupatorium x boreale. Hedgebank, Torpantau, Breconshire. 
August, 1892, and 16th August, 1893. Seen along with both 
parents, and confirmed by Mr. Hanbury this year as well as in 1892. 
See ‘ Journ. Bot.,’ 1893, p. 16. The station is there mis-printed 
“ Forfantan.” — A ugustin Ley. “ Elfstrand labels this 1 H. boreale , 
var.’ I really cannot say certainly whether only a var. or a hybrid. 
Both supposed parents grow close by and the boreale is quite typical.” 
— F. J. H. 
H. umbellaium , L. var. curtum , Linton. Abersoch sand hills, 
Carnarvonshire, August, 1892. — J. E. Griffith. “Yes.” — F. J. H. 
Taraxacum officinale , Web., var. udum (Jord.). Pasture at 
Chesterton, Warwickshire, May, 1893. — H. Bromwich. “ T. udum , 
}ord., is a form of T. palustre , DC., the phyllaries of which are never 
horned. Mr. Bromwich’s plants have the phyllaries more or less 
horned. The leaves of two of the specimens are simply-dentate above, 
but Willkomm and Lange (‘Prod. FI. Hisp.’) even place I obovatum, 
DC., with their T. taraxacoides, Willk., which includes T. Icevigahim , 
Willk., and T. erythrospermum, Andrz. T. corniculatum , DC., T. 
officmale ft glaucescens , Koch, Schultz, Bip. Cich. 73, well represents 
the Chesterton form. Koch says of his ft glaucescens, “ Si foliola 
interiora ante apicem callo vel cornu brevi instructa sunt, tunc oritur : 
T. officinale , b, corniculatum , Koch.” (‘FI. Germ, and Helv.’) The 
achenes are unripe, so their colour when ripe cannot be ascertained.” — 
F. Townsend. 
Sonchus palusiris , L. L eaves only. In a secluded part of Oxford- 
shire, in the Thames district of my ‘ Flora,’ where it was first noticed by 
my friend Mr. Ellwood some years ago, but he could not conduct me 
to the exact locality, and I omitted the notice of it in my ‘ Flora,’ 
concluding as T raddv did that he had mistaken a form of S. arvensis
