384 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Hieracinm pratense^ Tausch. On wall a short distance south 
of Shrewsbury, Salop, June 1908. This Hawkweed, of which I 
forwarded a small set last year to the Club, has this year increased 
in quantity in the same locality — in the interstices of a limestone 
wall a short distance south of Shrewsbury. The naming has been 
confirmed by the Rev. Edward F'. Linton. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
Hieracium Langwellense, F. J. H. By Corrie Mulzie River, E. 
Sutherland, v.-c. 117, nth July 1908. — Coll. W. A. Shoolbred. 
Hieracium hyparcticum, Dahlst. Banks of stream, Inchna- 
damph, W. Sutherland, v.-c. 108, 15th and 22nd July 1908. — W. A. 
Shoolbred. My specimen is rightly named. — E, S. M. 
Hieracium Schmidt ii, Tausch., substylose form of var. eustomon, 
Linton? [ref. No. 3196]. Root from a rocky wood at Culbone, 
v.-c. 5, S. Somerset, 1907. Cult, in shade. West Monkton Rectory, 
15th June 1908. Rather glaucus. Styles yellow. Ligules, when 
present, glabrous. Phyllaries porrect in bud. This seems to me 
not materially different from the plant of the coast near Greenaleigh, 
Minehead, which has been referred to var. devoniense, F. J. Hanb. 
That is a large-flowered robust form, with much the same appear- 
ance as authentic specimens of var. eustomon^ and very different 
from the Tutshill (W. Glos.) devoniense. The heads are, also, too 
glandular, I think. — E. S. Marshall. 
Hieracium ? [ref No. 655]. By Upper Traligil, W. 
Sutherland, v.-c. 108, 23rd July 1908. Near rubiginosum or 
ruhicundum. Styles yellow; ligules glabrous. — W. A. Shoolbred. 
“ Very probably not ruhicundum." — A. Ley. Rtibi- 
cundum, or near it.” — E. F. Linton. H. ruhicundum., F. J. Hanb. ; 
is a rather weak, probably shade-grown plant. Styles yellow ; 
ligules glabrous-tipped. Foliage strongly ciliate, with the charac- 
teristic colouring of this species. — E. S. M. 
H. maculatum, Sm. Railway Bank, Sapperton Tunnel, v.-c. 
34, i8th and 19th June 1908. Is this rightly named? — H. J. Rid- 
DELSDELL. One of the most striking features is the extraordinary 
development of the lower branches in mature specimens. — E. S. 
Marshall. 
Plieracium nitidutn., Backh., var. siluriense, F. J. Hanb. Dry 
railway bank at the head of Glyn Collwng, Brecon, at about 1,350 ft., 
15th July 1908. This plant is extremely variable in stature, and 
soDiewhat so in breadth and toothing of the leaves ; it also grows in 
a diversity of situations: exposed precipice at 2,500 ft.; stream- 
side rocks ; dry or wet mountain banks ; even on hedge-banks at 
under 900 ft. elevation. I have never seen any. Welsh plants 
which could be placed under type niiidum of Backhouse. — A. Ley.
