CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS FLORA OF OUTER HEBRIDES 241 



RANUNCULUS MARINUS, Fr. ? I have seen no British specimens 

 that I could refer with certainty to this ; all seem rather forms 

 of Baudottii without floating leaves, and not having the nearly 

 sessile 1 and shorter and stouter leaves of marinus. 



R. PETIOLARIS, Marshall. N. Uist, Dr. Shoolbred. Dr. Shoolbred 

 also gathered a form that decidedly tends to form a step 

 towards typical Flammnla ; and after seeing a large series of 

 forms of Flammnla, I am inclined to alter my opinion as to 

 petiolaris being a species, and would now prefer to call it a 

 sub-species. Dr. Shoolbred also gathered a curious small form 

 near Scalpeg, N. Uist ; but he says it shaded off towards the 

 ordinary plant as the ground became damper. 



CALTHA PALUSTRIS, GUERANGERII (JBor.} West side of N. Uist, Dr. 

 Shoolbred. Under the nomenclature of Dr. Huth this is v. 

 typica, forma 2 cornuta, Schott, Nyman, and Kotschy, 

 "Analecta hot.," torn, i (1854); he also says it is C. croatica, 

 Schur. I suppose that most would prefer to write it C. 

 palustris, var. scrratus, Breb., " Fl. Norm.," ed. 2, = C. 

 Guerangerii, Bor. : a name Dr. Huth has failed to note. 



NUPHAR LUTEUM. Lake Larnvagha in Lewis ; Gorrie, I.e. In fair 

 quantity in several small lakes on the east side of N. Uist, Dr. 

 Shoolbred. This confirms Macgillivray's record. On the main- 

 land this seems to fail to reach so far north as Nymphcea alba. 

 I know of no record higher than W. Ross ; while alba reaches 

 Shetland, though rare there, and is unreported for Orkney. 

 In Scandinavia their distribution is almost identical, as it is in 

 Finland, failing to reach only the far northernmost provinces. 



BRASSICA CAMPESTRIS. West shore of Benbecula and N. Uist. 



DRABA INCANA. On Capval in Harris, W. S. Duncan, sp. Con- 

 firms Macgillivray's report for same mountain. 



RAPHANUS MARITIMUS. Harris, Sept. 1892, W. S. Duncan, sp. 

 Also confirming Macgillivray's record. 



LYCHNIS ALBA. " Seen in meadows near Balleloch, N. Uist, but 

 no specimen gathered" (Dr. Shoolbred). 



COCHLEARIA GRCENLANDiCA, L. N. Uist and Benbecula. I am 

 unable to concur in the naming of some of Dr. Shoolbred's 

 specimens in this genus ; but I give it as he reports it. 



SPERGULARIA MARGINATA. Valley Strand, Loch Maddy, N. Uist, 

 Dr. Shoolbred. 



S. RUPESTRIS. West side of Benbecula, near Loch Maddy, N. Uist, 

 Dr. Shoolbred. A form of this plant not nearly so glandular as 

 usual, and nearly the var. glabrescens, Lebel, and not so robust 

 as usual, takes the plant further west, but not quite so far north 

 as previously on record, viz. W. Ross.
