Abstract

A new species of hawkweed Hieracium maccoshiana T.C.G.Rich sp. nov. is described. It is related to the Norwegian H. dovrense Fr., but differs in the shape and toothing of the stem leaves and inglabrous-tipped ligules. It is endemic to the county of Sutherland, Scotland where it has been recorded from four sites. A lectotype of H. dovrense is designated.
