BRECON AND WEST YORKSHIRE HAWKWEEDS. By tum Rey. Aveustin Ley, M.A.

I nave been asked by Dr. F. Arnold Lees to contribute a list of hawkweeds for a reissue of the West Yorkshire Flora; and T

sufficient interest to the readers of the Journal ; and that a place may also be obtained where several forms, previously undescribed

forms of the genus by a botanist possessing the requisite know- ledge, and that I may have the Opportunity of publishing notes on Lakeland.

_~ ne present paper is limited to two districts with which I can claim better PS, sot With regard to West xperi ctly limited to the Settle district, includin r Ribblesdale, the Ingleton district, and the heads of Where gained in summer holidays of no great duration in 1900 and four subsequent years in company with W, - Linton, in which flying visits were also paid to Dent Dale and the Rothay Valley above Sedbergh. With Breconshire I have a more thorough acquain-

myself responsible for the record.

In addition to W. R. Linton, without whom I could not have attempted this paper, I wish to acknowledge the kindness of Rey. . F. Linton; of Mr. F. J. Hanbury in allowing his great her- barium to be consulted; and the un rudging assistance of the late Miss Rachel F. Thompson, whose knowledge of the hawkweeds of

her home at Settle was for many years unequalled. or the purposes of this paper the county of Brecon has been divided into four districts corresponding with the four outstand- ng blocks of hills which occupy its area. These districts are :—

It appears that we have in Britain, in addition to the two above-mentioned plants, the following allied forms (Dahlst. Bidr. t. Syd. Sver. Hier. ii. 1893) :—

H. GRANDIDENS Dahlst. Leaves broad, + ovate at base, cor- date-hastate, coarsely reverse-laciniate. Involueres rather thick, short; phyllaries rather narrow, linear-lanceolate, floccose on margin, but not on middle surface.

H. rorticers Dahlst. Leaves narrow, lanceolate to ovate- lanceolate, acutely serrate dentate, acutely laciniate at base. Involucres narrow, often twisted (‘‘contorta”’). Phyllaries narrow, densely glandular, floccose on margin, the floceum also sprinkled over surface.

H. crassicers Dahlst. is described in Brit. Hier, p. 46, and differs from both the above in having the root-leaves entire o subentire, often shorter and more obtuse, and in the large thick heads

All these forms have glabrous ligules, and styles yellow at first and becoming sublivescent. The colour of the heads appears to be full black in crassiceps, green or greenish brown in lepistoides,

NOTES ON THE FLORA OF SUSSEX.—III.* By C. E. Saumon, F.L.S.

THE receipt of numerous notes upon the plants of Sussex from various observers seems to justify the publication of this fresh batch of records.

The most interesting species mentioned are:—Ulex Gallii, Rubus tereticaulis, Chrysosplenium altarne/Otsiiia: Gentian baltica, Atropa, Euphrasia borealis, Melittis, Ajuga Chamepitys, Orchis hircina, Colchicum, Paris, and Carex cheto top y la.

The county seems to justify its reputation for being one of the most prolific in “aliens” (particularly amongst the Crucifere and Leguminose), the warm coast, sheltered by the Do ‘Aide harbouring many “casuals,” some of which (Brassica elongata, Rapistrum perenne, Bromus unioloides, &c.) seem to be babdinstti? ‘persistent.

It will be noted that some more records are quoted from ee, s po y of the County of Sussex (1834), which are omitted

n the new (1907) edition of Arnold’s Sussex Flora; some of ee tekahitiog are in the neighbourhood of Tunbridge Wells, as Harrison’s Rocks, Penn’s Rocks, and ae Rocks; these are all in Sussex, although claimed for Kent in Hanbury and M ; Flora of that county (see Osmunda, “Hypndtiphattain, Asplenium lanceolatum, &c.).
