Llanilar, Cardigan, 6th July 1906, under name of H. irriguum . — 
W. H. Painter. “ It is doubtful whether H. scanicmn and H. 
irriguum can be kept apart from each other. H. scanicum, as 
described in Dahlst. Bidr., iii., p. 89, differs from H. irriguum in 
the long white hairs of the stem, the broader oval subentive or less 
toothed leaves, the rather thicker heads, narrower phyllaries, and 
styles more nearly pure yellow; the above specimens agree rather 
with H. scanicum, which however, as already implied, is scarcely 
more than a slight variety of H. irriguum. — W. R. Linton. 
? H. cacurninatum, Dahlst. This name appears (provisionally) 
to cover ‘all the common sciaphilum — XxVo, plants which we used to 
put to sciaphiluni — wherever the ligules are glabrous,’ as Mr. Ley 
informs me. H. cacuminatian has considerably fewer stem leaves 
than has H. sciaphiluni. It is a common plant in Glamorgan. 
These specimens were gathered at Ystabyfera, Gowerton, Ewenny 
Down, &c., in July 1906. — H. J. Riddelsdell. Woods, Lower 
Chapel, Brecon, 31st July; road-bank, Harewood, Herefordshire, 
23rd July 1906. Named on the authority of Rev. W. R. Linton. — 
Augustin Ley. For a notice of this plant and the next, see 
‘Journ. Bot.’ 1907. 
H. cacurninatum, Dahl. var. barbareccfolium, Lonnr. Wall top, 
Pen-cae, Brecon, 7th July 1906. See on H. cacurninatum, above 
— Augustin Ley. Quarries, Wirksworth, Derbs., 7th July 1906. 
— W. Bell. sciaphiluni has a very close panicle with a number 
of parallel subpatent branches, which gives the panicle a marked and 
characteristic look. The number of leaves on the stem is only 
a reliable feature in well developed plants. All the above, including 
the Pen-cae plant, I think, H. cacuminatum type.” — W. R. L. 
H. protractuni, Fr. Origin, Hepste Glen, Brecon. Garden, 
Sellack, 30th June 1906. 'Phis plant has unfortunately been wrongly 
labelled, it should be 983 H. truncatum, Lindeb. Origin, Mellte 
Glen. See Linton’s' British Hieracia,’ p. 75. Will members kindly 
make necessary correction ? — Augustin Ley. 
H. sparsifolium, Lindeb., var. Lingua, A. Ley. Origin, West 
Brecon. Garden, Sellack, 23rd July, 1906. See Linton’s ‘ British 
Hieracia,’ p. 79. — Augustin Ley. Var. longiciliatum, F. J. Hanb. 
Glen Clunie, S. Aberdeen, 17th July 1906. — W. A. Shoolbred, 
“ Characteristic specimens of the variety from the locus classicus.”
