58 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



extended to algre and fungi, ultimately being centred in the Dis- 

 comycetes, on which in 1887 he published a "Manual of British 

 Discomycetes." This at once took rank as the leading authority on 

 the subject, and has earned him the gratitude of students of these 

 fungi. He took part in one or two of the meetings of the Scottish 

 Cryptogamic Society, and won the regard and esteem of those who 

 had the pleasure of meeting him, and who benefited by his ready 

 assistance in the study of the fungi of Scotland. In recent years he 

 had chiefly turned his attention to the past history and antiquities 

 of Shropshire. 



A Census Catalogue of British Hepaties, compiled by Symers 

 M. Macvicar, has just been issued by the Moss Exchange Club, 

 and can be procured for pd. from Mr. W. Ingham, 52 Haxby Road, 

 York. It will be gladly welcomed by students of the group. 



Some Perthshire Plants. Radiola linoides, Roth. In Dr. 

 White's " Flora of Perthshire," this plant is not mentioned as having 

 been observed in his district of " Breadalbane." It grew in con- 

 siderable quantity in August of 1904 and 1905 on a by-road on 

 Kiltyrie Farm, on Loch Tay, about five miles east of Killin, in the 

 centre of the above-named district. 



Trifolium agrarium, L., grew plentifully in a field on the farm 

 of Edramucky, on Loch Tay, four miles from Killin, its seed having 

 evidently been introduced as an impurity (or adulterant) in foreign 

 clover seed. 



CaUitriche hatnitlata, Kiitz., var. homiophylla, Gren. and Godr., 

 occurs plentifully in Loch Tay, at the mouth of the Alt a Mhoirneas, 

 four miles from Killin. This form of C. hamulata is described by 

 Grenier and Godron as having "feuilles toutes lineaires," and is C. 

 angustifolia, Hoppe, and C. autumn-alts, Godrn. 



I am indebted to Mr. Arthur Bennett for the name and synonyms 

 of this plant. JAMES ERASER, Leith. 



Scottish Hieraeia. In July last I collected a few hawkweeds 

 which are either new to Scotland or new county records. 



Hienicium sagittatuin, Lindeb.,var. sitbhirtum (F. J. Hanb.), W. R. 

 Linton, in "Brit. Hieraeia," p. 52 ; Glen Dole, Forfar, new to 92. 



H. sciapliilitni, Uechtr., var. stntmosuin, Ley, I.e. p. 68, Melrose, 

 Roxburgh. New to Scotland, only recorded from Wales in "Brit. 

 Hieraeia." 



H. ochro/eiu'i/ui, Stenstr., I.e. p. 64, Melrose, Roxburgh. New 

 to Scotland. Recorded previously from Carnarvonshire, and doubt- 

 fully from Westmoreland. 



H. petrocharis, Linton, Glen Fiagh, Forfar. Not given for that 

 county in " Brit. Hieraeia." 



The Rev. W. R. Linton kindly named the specimens. G.
