128 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



pro var. Wettst. "Mon. Euph." (1896), p. 228). I gathered this pretty 

 small form near Invercauld, South Aberdeenshire, in June 1896. 



E. gracilis, Fries ("Mantissa," iii. p. 62). Invercauld in South 

 Aberdeen ; near Strathpeffer in East Ross ; Ben Lawers, Mid- 

 Perth. 



E. brevipi/a, Burnat et Gremli (ex. Townsend in " Journ. Bot." 

 (1884), p. 167). In several places about Braemar, South Aberdeen- 

 shire, 1896. 



E. borealis (Towns.) Wettst. ("Mon. Euphrasia" (1896), p. 108). 

 Applecross, Ullapool, Dundonell, etc., in West Ross ; Glen 

 Spean in Westerness ; Kingussie in Easterness ; near Loch of Spynie 

 in Elgin. 



E. Rostkoviana, Hayne (" Arzneig.," ix. (1823), t. 7). Ben 

 Lawers, in Mid-Perth. G. CLARIDGE DRUCE. 



[In Highland Plants collected in 1896 ("Journal of Botany," 

 March 1897. Messrs. Marshall and Shoolbred record the follow- 

 ing Euphrasia?: " E. Rostkoviana Hayne and E. gracilis Fr. are 

 frequent about Glen Roy ; E. scottica Wettst. (E. paludosa Towns., 

 non R. Br.) is also plentiful, and ascends to fully 2000 feet, 

 preferring wet, grassy, or sedgy spots."] 



Scotch Cariees Carex cedocarpa, Anderss., " Plantaa Scandina- 

 vian " (1849), p. 25, as a sub-species of C. (Ederi, Ehrh. Calam. n. 79. 

 C. CEderi (Ehrh. Cal.), Hoffm., " Deutsch. Fl.," var. cedocarpa 

 (And.), Hartm., "Hand. Skand. Fl." (1879), P- 459 : " Spica masc. 

 valde pedunculata, fern, ovatis-globosis remotis, fructibus nervis 

 acutioribus rostroque evidentiori, recto, bracteis erecto-patentibus ; 

 culmis decurvis. In Roslagia (ad Ranas) tantum observavi." " Flora 

 Danica," t. mmdccxciv., Exs. Herb. Norm., f. 13, n. 83 : " Differt a 

 speciei forma typica spica mascula longius pedunculata, foemineis 

 ovalibus vel globoso-ovatis, inter se remotis, bracteis erecto-patentibus, 

 perigynii rostro magis conspicuo recto, nervis magis prominulis." I 

 gathered this sedge near Loch-an-Eilan, Easterness, as noted in the 

 "Scottish Naturalist" for 1888, p. 330. 



C. canescens, Linn., " Sp. PI." (1753), p. 974, var. tennis, O. F. 

 Lang in "Linnrea" (1851), xxiv. p. 538: " Tota valde gracilis et 

 debilis habitum fere referens Caricis Persoonii. Spicula? paucifloras. 

 Hujus memorabilis formae caespitem circiter culmorum octodecim 

 in consortio normalis planta; prope Erlangam quondam legi." In 

 the year 1888 I found this variety in Glen More, Easterness. I owe 

 the identification to Dr. Lange of Copenhagen. I had placed it in 

 my Alpine ca/iescentes, as it bears considerable resemblance to the 

 var. alpicola of British botanists. I may refer those botanists who 

 continue to use the name of C. curt a for the species to Andersson's 

 " Cyperaceae Scandinavia?," p. 58, where the author says : " Auctores 

 Anglici Linnaeum C. canescentis nomine C. brizoidem v. C. Buxbaumii 

 intellixisse contendunt, quare nostram C. canescentem C. curtain
