PLANTS OF LISMORE 39 



HYPERICUM ELODES, L. Rather common. A very local plant in the 

 Inner Hebrides. It is given by Balfour for Islay, by Mr. A. 

 Somerville for lona, and I have seen it in Tiree and Canna. 



RUBUS DUMNONIENSIS, Bab. Occurs here, as in Mull and parts of 

 the West Coast mainland, as one of the most frequent 

 brambles. 



AGRIMONIA EUPATORIA, Z. Rare. Among shady rocks remote from 

 houses. It has here all the appearance of being native, but it 

 has been introduced into some places on this coast in former 

 times for its medicinal qualities. 



HIPPURIS VULGARIS, L. Rather common. Very local in the Inner 

 Hebrides. It is given for Islay by Lightfoot, as well as by 

 later botanists ; and it occurs commonly in Tiree. 



CAMPANULA ROTUNDIFOLIA, L. Very abundant. This is a local 

 species north of Loch Linnhe. While common on the basalts 

 of the islands and mainland, and occurring rather commonly 

 on the Lewisian Gneiss of Tiree, it is absent from large tracts 

 of the Dalradian schists of the mainland, or occurs very 

 rarely, and usually as an undoubted introduction with grass 

 seeds. 



VERONICA ANAGALLIS-AQUATICA, L. Common. As in Tiree, Coll, 

 and the Outer Hebrides, this is the common plant, V. Beccabunga 

 being rare. It is a very rare plant on the mainland north of 

 Lismore. 



EUPHRASIA BOREALIS, Towns. Common and generally spread in 

 uncultivated pastures. E. BREVIPILA, Burnat and Gremli. 

 Less common and more local than the preceding. E. GRACILIS, 

 Fr. Uncommon, probably owing to the scarcity of peaty soil. 



SU/EDA MARITIMA, Ditm. Salt marsh near the Pier. No personal 

 authority is named in "Top. Bot.," ed. 2. 



*SPARGANIUM NEGLECTUM, Beeby. Mr. Beeby, after a careful 

 examination of my specimens, considers that he cannot do other- 

 wise than name them as this species ; but as the fruit is not 

 nearly ripe, and as it has not hitherto been recorded in 

 Britain north of Yorkshire, he considers it desirable that ripe 

 fruit should be examined. Its range in Denmark has, however, 

 recently been extended northward to c. 56 25', and in Sweden 

 to c. 56 10', while Lismore is c. 56 30'. I found the plant in 

 three localities on the island. 



'"SPARGANIUM MINIMUM, Fr. In a few localities. 



LEMNA MINOR, L. Rare. A rare plant on this coast north of 

 Loch Linnhe.
