pale margins. I fear this can only be regarded as a form of vulgatum , 
which is the more to be regretted as Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill has failed 
to refind the plant in the original station, from which it was named by 
Dr. Lindeberg. Mr. Melvill’s specimen from Prestwich exactly 
resembles the Scandinavian plant, and differs widely in the above 
particulars from the Longridge specimens.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
FPieracium diaphanum, Fries. Railway bank, Longridge, north east 
of Preston, Lancashire, 25th July, 1891, a station indicated to me by

remarks on Mr. E. F. Linton’s specimens, which apply equally to 
these.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. protractum, Lindeb. Rocks, near Brae, Cliva Hill, Belting, 
Shetland, 14th August, 1891. A few specimens of this species from 
a fresh locality. Many of the plants in this station grew among long 
herbage, and bore considerable resemblance to the garden state. — 
W. H. Beeby. 
H Friesii, Hartm. Cwm Llebrith, Moel Hebog, Carnarvon. 
New record for County. — J. E. Griffith. 
H. Friesii , Hartm. ( = H ’. gothicum , Backh.) Grassy places 
near the sea, Hamar Voe, Northmaven, Shetland, 10th August,

H. sparsifolium , Lindeb. Moel Hebog, Carnarvonshire, July,

H. sparsifolium , Lindeb. Glen Lyon, Perth, Scotland, 31st July 
and 1st August, 1891. — W. R. Linton. “In 1888 I sent similar 
specimens to these collected in Glen Lyon by Mr. W. F. Miller, 
under the name of H. sparsifolium to Dr. Lindeberg for confirmation. 
He erased this name and called the plant ‘ H. norvegicum , Fr., f. 
confertuml ” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. Friesii , Hartm. Rocky banks of Bann river, Hilltown, Co. 
Down, 24th July, 1891. — S. A. Stewart. “Yes, but a very remark- 
able form occurring by various streams among the Mourne 
mountains.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
FT. crocatum , Fries. In sheltered places on the north side of 
Roeness Voe, Shetland, 31st July, 1891, and 5th August, 1891. A 
few specimens to confirm record. — W. H. Beeby. 
H. corymbosum , Fr. ? Glen Lyon, Perth, Scotland, 1st August, 
1891. — W. R. Linton. “Though fairly coming under the name of 
H. corymbosum , Fr., this plant should now be placed to H. reticulatum , 
Lindeb.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
Ffypochczris glabra , Linn. Near Ambarrow, Berkshire, August, 
1891. New County record. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Vaccinium Oxycoccos , Linn. This abnormal growth of Vaccinium 
Oxycoccos has, I believe, been reported from Scotland ; but not from 
Ireland. It is not uncommon in this neighbourhood, and is caused 
according to Mr. Cooke by the attack of a fungus, Exobasidium 
Vaccinii , Woronin. I send a few specimens in case it may prove of 
interest to any members of the Club. — H. C. Levinge. 
Asperugo procumbens , L. From Botley, Oxford, June, 189T.
