BOTANICAL NOTES AND NEWS 251 



2. U. intermedia x ochroleuca, Melander = f. subintermedia. 



3. U. intermedia x minor, L., f. subminor, Neum. = U. ochroleuca, 



R. Hartm., f. microceras, J. Strandmark, in exsicc. 



In the "Bot. Notiser," 1900, pp. 65-66, Dr. Neuman discusses 

 these plants, and the above is the result of his study of them. 



The specimens sent are both in flower and so are satisfactory ; 

 but I have seen no specimens that seem to be referable to these 

 from Scotland that are in flower; so we are left in the unsatisfactory 

 state of relying simply on the other characters. 



So far as these will allow of being compared, I think the follow- 

 ing specimens are probably referable to one or the other of these 

 ochroleuca forms. 



1. Utricularia, sp. Lochan Feior, near Skaig Bridge, Loch 

 , Assynt, West Sutherland, i4th September 1887, E. S. 



Marshall. 



2. Mr. Macvicar's specimens from near Broadford, Skye, July 



1895. 



U. intermedia and U. minor both occur in West Sutherland ; 

 and I have specimens of U. intermedia from Broadford (leg. H. N. 

 Dixon). U. minor also grows near there. 



Other specimens I am inclined to refer to ochroleuca are : 



3. Specimens from Moidart, Argyle, July 1893 and August 



1894 (leg. S. M. Macvicar). 



4. Loch Urr, Dumfries, leg. J. Fingland, July 1887. 



5. Capenoch Moss, Wigtownshire, J. M 'Andrew. 



These all vary as much as such plants usually do ; the Dumfries 

 specimen represents a very slender and delicate form ; while the 

 Wigtown probably represent subintermedia. When Mr. Macvicar 

 kindly sent numerous specimens from Moidart, both he and I were 

 much puzzled by the various forms ; some apparently true minor, 

 others receding from it, and such as could only be doubtfully 

 referred to any species. These specimens are all destitute of 

 flowers ; so the identification must be held doubtful, though I 

 have little doubt it will prove correct. 



Juneus tenuis, Willd., in Kineardineshire. This rush has 

 already been recorded from widely-scattered localities in England 

 and the west of Scotland, and its claim to be regarded as not an 

 alien in at least some of these habitats is now generally admitted to 

 be strong. But as yet it has not been noted, so far as I know, in 

 east Scotland, except a single example found by me in 1894 on a 

 newly filled-up portion of the bed of the river Dee at Aberdeen. 

 As many undoubted casuals sprung up on the same ground, its 

 occurrence there could not be regarded as giving reason to look on 

 it as other than itself a casual. But on i7th August 1903 I met 

 with plants in flower and in fruit among short vegetation on a wet
