REPORT FOR 1892. 
377 
Hieracium diapha 7 ioides^ Lindeb. Railway embankment, Conway, 
May, 1892, — J. E. Griffith. Beresford Lane, near Alstonfield, North 
Staffordshire, August, 1889. — W. H, Purchas. Rocky bank, Man- 
gotsfield. West Gloucester, 20th July, 1892. — J. W, White. “These 
specimens of Mr. White’s are poor and insufficient, and are probably 
only a starved vulgatum form.” — F. J. Hanbury. Referring to Mr. 
Griffith’s plant Mr. Hanbury says, “ We appear to have in this country 
forms intermediate between H. vulgatum and H. diaphanoides, Lind., 
which form a connecting link. In this plant we have the dark 
phyllaries, densely clothed with setse, and almost or quite destitute of 
simple hairs, but the presence of stellate hairs in considerable quantity 
prevent it from being placed to typical H. diaphanoides. The radical 
leaves moreover are abruptly narrowed instead of being gradually 
decurrent into the petiole. The only British examples I possess that 
really agree well with the type (No. 123 H. Sc. Exs.) are from the 
neighbourhood of Settle and from Upper Teesdale.” 
H. V 7 ilgatu 7 n, Fr., var. rubescens, Backh. Scaleber, W. Y orks., August, 
1892, H. vulgatiwi, var. sciaphihwi, Uechtr. — J. A. Wheldon. 
“ These specimens agree even more closely than Mr. Linton’s, Dr. 
Shoolbred’s, or Mr. White’s with the Austrian specimens, of which I 
have a fine series collected by F. Schultz and C. Baenitz. I have 
known the plant for years as a peculiar limestone form, prevalent in 
Derbyshire, but it is to Rev. W. R. Linton’s suggestion that I owe 
its identification. F. Schultz says, ‘ solo calcareo.’ The wiry, 
arcuate, densely floccose and setose peduncles are very striking, as is 
also the clothing of the narrow, cuneate involucres.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
“ A form of sciaphihini, Uechtr.” — W. R. Linton.
