REPORT FOR 1902. 
51 
Hieractum Auricula, Linn. Old limestone quarry, Cave Hill, 
Belfast, 5th July 1902. I have known this plant growing on the 
debris of the Whitewell limestone quarries. Cave Hill, for at least six 
years. During that time it has neither increased nor decreased. It 
partially occupies an area of about two square yards. The district 
around it is uncultivated, save for grass. There are few gardens in 
the vicinity — none close at hand. I consider it an alien, but how it 
has reached here is not easily understood. Was its old recorded 
occurrence in Westmoreland that of a casual ? — S. A. Stewart. 
H. protractum, Fr. Origin, Upper Tawr, Brecon ; cultivated 30th 
July 1902. — Augustin Ley. “These are cultivated, and may be 
abnormal, but they have the general appearance of a form of H. 
rigidum, Hartm.” — F. J. Hanbury. 
H. lima, F. J. H. Cheddar Gorge, Somerset, May 1902. The 
earliest of the Cheddar hawkweeds in flower, 26th to 29th May 1902. 
(Not seen by E. F. L. or F. J. H.) — Augustin Ley. 
H. lima, F. J. H., variety Brigantum, F. J. H. Chapel-le-Dale, 
West Yorkshire, July 1902. Abundant all round Ingleborough, 
but not always easily distinguished from states of H. anglicum, Fr. 
This and the other hawkweeds which I have contributed this year 
have all been submitted to Rev. E. F. Linton and Mr. F. J. Hanbury, 
unless otherwise expressly stated. — Augustin Ley. 
H. Farrense, F. J. H. Rocky river gorge at Ribblehead, West 
Yorkshire, 9th July 1902. — Augustin Ley.

side at Fan-las, Glyn Collwng, Brecon Beacons, 24th July 1902.

H. sp. Fissures in rocks by Upper Lake, Killarney, North 
Kerry, 27th June 1902. — W. A. Shoolbred. “Dr. Elfstrand named 
very similar specimens collected by Mr. Scully on Mangerton, Killar- 
ney, as H. saxifragnm, var. ormeles. I also collected the same plant 
there many years ago.” — F. J. Hanbury.
