By a Note at page 706. in Tumer’s Botanist's Guide, we observe that the late Mr. Teesdale considered the spotted variety of this Plant distinct from Hieracium murorum, finding it to be reproduced from seed, for many successive years, without variation: and, from our own experience, we know this feet to be correct. In our neighbourhood, however, the Plant, when in a wild state, is without spotted leaves; and we strongly suspect it to be Hieracium sylvaticum of Withering and Hull, agreeing in every particular with the descriptions of those Authors.

Grows on the Banks of Hedges and old Pit Heaps, in. the the vicinity of Gateshead, D. Rh
