i84 BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF BRITISH AND IRISH BOTANISTS.
short (^— ^ incli), broadly ovate to oblong-lanceolate. In habit it
is not unlike a small plant which we have gathered on limestone in
Upper Teesdale. We collected it too early and in too small
quantity for satisfactory determination.
We have received some determinations of Hieracia from Dr.
Lindeberg since writing this paper, several being forms new to this
country ;
we shall hope to record them before long.
