So tar as I can tell from description alone, the plant I send seems to 
be that described by Mr. Hanbury, ‘Journ. of Bot.’ 1894, p. 226 
Styles darkened. — Augustin Ley. “ I think these are quite right.” 
— F. J. H. 
Hieraciiim Schnidtii, Tausch. Cliffs, West Tarbert Bay, S. Harris, 
20th July, 1894. Ligules glabrous, styles yellow. Cliffs, Gilaval 
Glas, N. Harris, i8th July, 1894. — W. A. Shoolbred. “Yes.” — F.J. H. 
H. Schmidtii, Tausch. var. (fide F. J. Hanbury). Stream side 
rocks, alt. circa 900 feet, Clisham, N. Harris, 22nd July, 1894. 
Leaves leathery, ligules very hairy at tips, styles slightly livid. Mr. 
Hanbury says, “ H. Schmidtii, Tausch, var. A very similar form to what 
I found near Braemar,” The very hairy ligules had led me to suppose 
that it belonged to another section. — W. A. Shoolbred. Mr. Hanbury 
confirms his previous naming, pointing out that Fries says of 
H. Schmidtii in his Symbol, p. 94, “foliis membranaceis, ligulis evi- 
denter ciliatis,” and that type Sclmiidtii includes plants with ciliate 
and plants with glabrous ligules, and adds, “ In the hairiness of the 
involucre Ur. Shoolbred’s plants agree better with the type perhaps 
than with the Braemar form, (the Irish plant has a hairier involucre), 
but the ciliate ligules and livid styles join it better to that form than 
to the type.” 
H. Sclmiidtii^ Tausch. var. crinigerum, Fries. Cliffs near coast, 
Obe, S. Harris, 26th July, 1894. Exposed rocks, Rueval, Benbecula, 
30th July, 1894. Both fide F. J. Hanbury. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
H. Schmidtii^ Tausch. var. devoniense, Hanb. Old wall, Tuttshill, 
W. Gloucester, Sept., 1894. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
II. lasiophyllum, Koch. Great Doward, Herefordshire, 12th June, 
1894. — xYugustin Ley. Excellent specimens of the typical plant. 
a. caledonicum, F. J. Hanbury (fide F. J. H.) Cliffs, near Tarbert, 
Harris, 20th July, 1894. Ligules glabrous, styles yellow. — W. A. 
Shoolbred. 
a. clovense, Linton, forma (fide F. J. Hanbury). Mountain cliffs, 
Ben Eaval, N. Uist, 14th July, 1894. — W. A. Shoolbred. Dr. 
Shoolbred’s plant can hardly go under H. clovense^ having neither 
the foliage nor the phyllaries nor the involucral clothing of that species. 
It is rather a stunted or rock-exposed state of H. caledonicum, F. J. 
Hanb., somewhat more glandular than the type as described in ‘Journal 
of Bot.’ 1889, p. 75, but agreeing closely in this respect with 
Dr. Shoolbred’s well developed Tarbert specimens so named by Mr. 
Hanbury. — ^E. F. L. and W. R. L. 
H. rubicundim, F. J. Hanbury, var. Bosivelli (Linton) (fide F. J. 
Hanbury). Rocks by stream, Clisham, N. Harris, 22nd July, 1894. 
Cliffs, Beesdale, Luskingtyre, S. Harris, 20th July, 1894. Sea cliffs, 
near Tarbert, S. Harris, July, 1894. — W. A. Shoolbred. The total 
of specimens was quite few and they have not been circulated. They 
appeared to be a mixture of different forms if not species, differing in 
heads and foliage, one specimen coming under Boswelli, another 
under caledonicum., the remainder being uncertain. — E.F.L. and W.R.L.
