NEW AND RARE SCOTTISH MOSSES 117 



ISOETES LACUSTRJS, L. Rare ; small loch at the summit of Scuir 



ridge, a few plants. 

 CHARA FRAGILIS, Desv. Rare; ditch above the "Cottage." 



To the above must be added a Hicracium gathered on 

 the Scuir by Mr. Miller, who tells me that it is a small plant 

 not much like typical H. argentcum, Fr. ; but that Mr. 

 Hanbury said of it : " This agrees with a plant from the 

 Hebrides marked H. argenteuin, modif., in the Herbarium " 

 (Boswell Syme's ?). 



Epilobium adnatum, Grisebach, must be deleted. Rev. 

 E. S. Marshall, to whom I have sent a specimen since the 

 above was in print, has named it E. obscurum, Schreb. 



The following, inadvertently omitted, are to be in- 

 cluded, viz. : 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SEGETUM, L. Very common in cornfields ; has 



spread to roadsides and waste places. 

 CHRYSANTHEMUM LEUCANTHEMUM, L. Banks near the Hotel.

CAMPYLOPUS FUSCOLUTEUS (published 1865) is distinguished 

 by the compact tufts, with abundance of red or, in older 

 specimens, brown tomentum, which ceases rather suddenly a 

 little below the long, somewhat spreading apical leaves. The 

 nerve is very broad, two-thirds or even three-fourths the 

 breadth of the leaf near the base, with the usual broad 

 pellucid cells next the nerve, and very narrow cylindrical 

 cells near the margin ; the upper cells are small and quad- 

 rangular. A section of the nerve reveals an anterior layer 

 of largish pellucid cells ; two intermediate rows of small dark 

 cells, and an outer row of large bullate projecting, pellucid 

 cells. The alar cells are scarcely developed, but larger cells 

 with a tinge of red are often seen next the nerve, and this 

 red colour is frequently seen for a considerable distance up 

 the side of the nerve. Ben Voirlich, 1864. 



CAMPYLOPUS SYMPLECTUS (described 1887) is distin- 

 guished from C. fuscoluteus by the pale or pale brownish
