Island Life Part 23

29. H. lingulatum (Backh.). ,, A var. of this in Scandinavia.

30. H. senescens (Backh.). ,,

31. H. chrysanthenum (Backh.). ,,

32. H. iric.u.m (Fr.). Teesdale and Scotland.

33. H. gibsoni (Backh.). Yorkshire and Westmoreland.

34. Hieracium nitidum (Backh.). Lower glens of the Scotch Alps. Mr.

Bennett writes:--"The following Hieracia have been named by Mr. F. J.

Hanbury _as endemic forms_. One can only safely say they are certainly not known in Scandinavia, as they have all been submitted to Dr.

Lindeberg. But usually Scotch species are not represented in Central Europe to any great extent, though several do occur. Still these new forms ought to be critically compared with all Dr. Peters' new species."

35. H. Langewellense (Hanb.). Caithness.

36. H. pollinarium (Hanb.). Sutherland.

37. H. scotic.u.m (Hanb.). Sutherland and Caithness.

38. H. Backhousei (Hanb.). Aberdeen, Banff, Inverness.

39. H. caledonic.u.m (Hanb.). Caithness and Sutherland.

40. H. Farrense (Hanb.). Sutherland and Shetland Is.

41. H. proximum (Hanb.). Caithness. With regard to all these {362} Hieracia Sir Joseph Hooker and Mr. Baker say:--"No case can be made of these. They are local forms with the shadowest of shady characters."

Mr. Bennett writes: "H. iric.u.m and H. Gibsoni are the best marked forms."

42. *Campanula rotundifolia (L.), _var._ speciosa (A. G. More). W.

Ireland. "Very well distinguished by its large flowers and small calyx lobes, approaching the Swiss C. Scheuzeri." (J. D. H.)

43. Statice reticulata (Sm.). "Baker agrees with me that this is also a Mediterranean species." (J. D. H.)

44. Erythraea capitata (Willd.), _var._ sphaerocephala (Towns.). Isle of Wight. "A form of _E. centaurium_ utterly anomalous in its genus in the insertion of the stamens. A monster rather than a species." (J. D. H.)

45. *Erythraea latifolia (Sm.). On the sandy dunes near Liverpool. "A local form." (J. D. H.)

46. Myosotis collina (Hoffim.), _var._ Mittenii (Baker). Suss.e.x.

47. Veronica officinalis (L.), _var._ hirsuta (Hopk.). Ayr, Scotland.

48. Veronica arvensis (L.), _var._ eximia (Towns.). Hampshire.

49. Mentha alopecuroides (Hull). Nearest to _M. dulcissima_ (Dum.).

50. Mentha pratensis (Sole). Only once found.

51. Chenopodium rubrum (L.), _var._ pseudobotryoides (H. C. Watson).

52. Salix ferruginea (Forbes). England, Scotland. "Probably a hybrid between _S. viminalis_ and _S. cinerea_." (J. D. H.)

53. Salix Grahami (Borr.). Sutherland, Perth. "A hybrid?" (J. D. H.)

54. Salix Sadleri (Syme). Aberdeen. "A hybrid?" (J. D. H.)

56. *Sisyrinchium angustifolium (Mill.). Ireland. (Arctic and Temp. N.

58. *POTAMOGETON LANCEOLATUS (Sm.). Anglesea, Cambridgeshire, Ireland.

Mr. Bennett writes:--"Endemic! I have taken a good amount of trouble to ascertain this. Nearly 400 specimens I have distributed all over the world with requests for information as to anything like it. The response is everywhere the same, 'nothing.' The nearest to it occurs in the Duchy of Lauenberg but is referable to _P. heterophyllus_."

59. Potamogeton Griffithii (Ar. Bennett). Carnarvon. "Nearest to this is a probable hybrid from N. America, but not identical." (Ar.

Bennett.)

60. Potamogeton pusillus (L.), _sub-sp._ Sturrockii (Ar. Benn.). Perth.

(J. D. H.)

65. Luzula pilosa (Willd.), _var._ Borreri (Bromf).

66. *Carex involuta (Bab.). Cheshire. "A distinct enough plant but probably a hybrid between _C. vesicaria_ and _C. ampullacea_, found in one place only." (J. D. H.)

67. Carex glauca (Murr.), _var._ stictocarpa (Sm.). Scotland.

{363} 68. Carex prec.o.x (Jacq.), _var._ capitata (Ar. Benn.). Ireland.
