Hieracium Schmidtii, Tausch. Sandhills, Melvich, VV. Sutherland, 
1 6th July 1897. — -W. A. Shoolbred. “ None of these are H. Schmidtii. 
Tjjje parcel contained one specimen of H. riibicundum^ one of H. 
Farrmse (?), and one weak specimen that I cannot name; all the rest 
appear to be simply H. vulgatum, Fr,” — F. J. H. 
H. maculatum, Teesdale in Turner and Dillwyn’s ‘ Bot. Guide,' 
707 (1805); Smith in ‘Trans. Linn. Soc.,’ix., 239 (1808). Old quarries. 
Prior Park, Bath, June 1898. — G. C. Druce. “As this plant is usually 
only found in the neighbourhood of botanic gardens and ornamental 
grounds as a doubtful native, I thought it might be well to send these 
specimens gathered in quarries and open ground in the neighbourhood 
of Prior Park, near Bath. I also saw it on the walls of the Park, and 
it may be that the plant has spread from the gardens of that place. 
At any rate, it is now completely naturalised. I give it specific 
honours because, although I should put it under vulgatum, I am not 
sure whether Mr. Hanbury would do so or refer it to sciaphilwn. In 
either case the name maculatiDu is in order, but I suppose a slightly 
varying form would be objected to by many botanists as the aggregate 
name, although it may have priority.” — G. C. D. “This appears to 
be the plant that has hitherto been designated under the name H. 
vulgatum, var. maculatum." — F. J. H. 
H. strictum, Fr., form. Coast sandhills, Melness, W. Sutherland, 
31st July 1897. — W. A. Shoolbred. “The ligules are very slightly 
pilose.”— F. J. H. 
H. strictum, Fr., var. subcrocatum, Lindeb. River bank, Glen 
Spean, W. Inverness, 26th July 1896. — W. A. Shoolbred. “I believe 
these to be correct.” — F. J. H. 
H. . Near Fleet, N. Hants, 17th June 1898. — E. S. 
Marshall. “ Near to if not identical with H. surrejanum, F. J. 
Hanb., I believe. Heads glandular, but almost without simple hairs; 
leaves dull green, flaccid. I have exactly the same plant from Pir- 
bright and the railway banks between Brookwood and North Camp, 
Surrey. It seems to be about midway between H. vulgatum and H. 
murorum." — E. S. M. “Apparently a young, luxuriant, shade-grown 
form of H. sciaphilum, Uechtr.” — F. J. H. 
H. sciaphilmn, Uechtr., var. pulchrhcs, Ley, ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1899, 
p. 35. Llyn-y-fan-fechan, Carmarthenshire, 2nd August 1898. — 
Augustin Ley. 
H. gothicum, Backh.? In the. Nedd Glen, Breconshire, 3rd August 
1898; Haffys Glen, near Cellwen, Breconshire, 2nd August 1898; 
cliffs of Llyn-y-fan-fechan, Carmarthenshire, 2nd August 1898. — 
Augustin Ley. “Style in all these pure yellow. I do not know 
whether these are rightly named. The above name was suggested by 
Mr. Hanbury, but H. scoticum, F. J. Hanb., has also been suggested 
to me, and I am inclined to think some of the specimens sent quite 
as near to this.” — A. L.
