REPORT FOR 1902.

Hieracium euprepes, F. J. H.; form or variety. Fan-las Waterfall, 
at the head of Glen Collwng, Brecon Beacons, 24th July 1902. I. 
have great hesitation in describing the plant I now send under a fresh 
varietal name ; but it is abundantly distinct both from typical H. 
euprepes^ F. J. FT., and from Linton’s variety, glabratum^ as a form, in 
that the peduncles are all lengthened and consequently the plant 
almost entirely lacks the geminate heads which usually give it so 
marked an aspect. I am unable to point out any leaf characters by 
which it stands apart from the type ; in the clothing of the phyllaries 
and peduncles the tomentum is as a rule less dense than in the South 
Welsh type, but this is not so conspicuous when it is compared with 
the North Welsh or Scotch plants. Typical H. euprepes clearly varies 
considerably in the amount of hair and tomentum present in these 
parts. The difference, however, which the uniformly lengthened 
peduncles makes to the general aspect of the plant may be appreciated 
when I mention that the variety in question has been at various times 
named for me by good hawkweed authorities H. Schfuidtii, Tausch., 
and H. ccesium, Fr. I have had this form under cultivation for about 
ten years, and in the garden the features above noted are fully main- 
tained and even developed. I have seen specimens of it from the 
Carmarthenshire Van, Riddelsdell, 1902 ; Kingshouse, Glencoe, 
Marshall ; West Inverness, Marshall and Shoolbred ; and I have 
picked it myself at the following Breconshire localities: Craig Gledsiau, 
Craig-ddu, Dyffryn Crawnon ; Fan-las — all in the Brecon range, — 
Taren Llwyd, Black Mountain. I should like to propose that it should 
stand for the present as H. euprepes^ F. J. H,, type, forma excuosa, 
nov. form. — Augustin Ley.

H. duriceps., F. J. H., wsixiety crav on ie ns e, F. J. H. Chapel-le-Dale 
(and other stations in this neighbourhood). West Yorkshire, July 
1902. This is one of the most widely spread and characteristic 
hawkweeds of the West Yorkshire dales, occurring in the stream 
glens, both on the limestone and slate, and on the limestone scaurs. —
