NOTES ON THE FLORA OF WESTERN ROSS-SHIRE 167 



opposite the mansion house of the Mackenzies has been 

 much curtailed ; but there are still likely places for Corallo- 

 rhiza if not for Goodyera to grow in. The district, however, 

 does not afford plants of much interest, though it was here 

 I gathered Caltha radicans some years ago. 



The western corrie of Ben Dearg yielded several species 

 new to the vice-county ; and there remains much to be 

 done at this land of mountain and flood, especially in 

 investigating the lacustrine flora. 



In these and in my excursions in East Ross I had the 

 advantage and pleasure of the companionship of my friend 

 the Rev. H. J. Riddelsdell. 



Signifies a new county record. 



t Denotes that the plant is probably not native. 



Thalictrum alpinum, L. Near the head of Corrie Lael, Ben Dearg, 

 etc. 



*Ranunculus hederaceus, L. Strathcarron, S. Macvicar, 1902. 

 This corroborates the occurrence in the vice-county, and fills 

 up the only blank left in its general comital distribution. 



R. acris, Z., var. vulgatus (Jord.), Inverbroom. 

 R. Ficaria, L. Foich woods, Lady fowler. 



Caltha palustris, Z., var. minor, DC. Near the summit of Beinn 

 Fiodha (H. N. Dixon\ on Ben Dearg at 2500 feet. 



Capnoides claviculata, Druce (Corydalis). Elphin, Lady Fowler. 

 Fumaria officinalis, L. Inverbroom, Lady Foivler. 



Cardamine pratensis, L. The true plant, with sessile leaflets, grows 

 near Loch Droma. 



Cochlearia groenlandica, Z. Near Inverbroom. 



Subularia aquatica, Z. Loch Feith-an-Leothaid, Gleann na Muice, 

 Loch Maree, C. E. Salmon. 



*Viola canina, Z. Strathcarron, W. A. Shoolbred. This confirms 

 the previous doubtful record for the vice-county. 



Silene acaulis, Jacq. Brought to Lady Fowler by one of her stalkers 

 from Ben Dearg, where I found it abundantly, and flowering 

 freely in August 1902, occasionally with white flowers. Some- 

 times in a diffuse lax form, but usually in the dense cushions 

 so characteristic of the plant. Also on other hills near 

 Braemore. 



*Cerastium trigynum, Vill. Summit of Beinn Fiodha, H. N. Dixon
