 Ullaval, above 1000 feet, plentiful, W. S. Duncan, sp. A 

 small, pretty form of the species, recorded in Sweden from 

 Skane to Gottland. As found on Ullaval it is 2 to 3 inches

P. RAII, Bab. North Harris, W. S. Duncan, sp., Hushinish. Occurs 

 in Mid (Macvicar, sp.} and South Ebudes (A. Somerville, sp.\ 

 and said to be common in Shetland (Edmonston's " Flora "), 

 but I know of no confirmation of this. Rare in Sweden and 

 South and North Norway ; in Finland occurs at Hanjo, and 

 in eight localities in the " Isthmus karelicus," with Cakile and 

 Sahola. European authors spell the name Rayi, Rajii, and 

 Raii ; the last is what Babington has in " Kng. Bot. Supp." 

 t. 2805 (Aug. i, 1837), and in the ist ed. of his "Manual," 

 p. 259, 1843. Hooker referred this to P. Roberta, Loisel, 

 but according to Dr. Meisner this is made up of specimens of 

 P. aviculare, L., P. litforale, Link., and P. Rait, Bab. Grenier 

 and Godron (" Fl. Fr." iii. p. 82, 1885) refer it to P. littorale, 

 Link., var. [3 latifoliitm, G. et G., and say, " Bab. Prim. Fl. 

 Sarn. 87, et exsicc ! Eng. Bot. Supp. t. 2805."
