112 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



POLYGONUM AMPHIBIUM, L., forma terrestre, Leers. Laig Bay, with 

 under side of leaves and peduncles glandular. This form 

 I have also gathered on the mainland in Moidart and at 

 Corpach near Fort-William. 



RUMEX OBTUSIFOLIUS, Z., and RUMEX CRISPUS, L. Sides of fields 



and waste places. 

 RUMEX ACETOSA, L. Common. 

 RUMEX ACETOSELLA, L. Common in dry places. 

 EUPHORBIA HELIOSCOPIA, L. Rather common in cornfields. 

 MERCURIALIS PERENNIS, L. Uncommon ; Cleadale. 



URTICA DIOICA, L. Common in waste places and on ground 

 manured by frequent visits of animals. 



URTICA URENS, L. Side of Scuir, with U. DIOICA, Z., in a sheep- 

 shelter. 

 MYRICA GALE, L. Moorland near the Manse ? W. F. M. 



(BETULA, sp. Extinct. Professor Macpherson told me that he 

 remembers two birch trees on the island ; but that they were 

 cut down by crofters, as the sheep spoiled their wool by rubbing 

 against them. Birch stems are frequently found in the peat 

 mosses.) 



CORYLUS AVELLANA, L. Native ; locally common. 



QUERCUS ROBUR, L. Native ; grows only a few feet high. 



f SALIX FRAGILIS, L. A large tree at Cleadale planted about seventy 

 years ago (Professor Macpherson), and plants grown from 

 cuttings from it are in the neighbourhood. 



SALIX CINEREA, L. Native ; uncommon ; near Macleod's Cave 



and the Hotel. 

 SALIX AURITA, L. Native; rather common. 



SALIX REPENS, L. Very common. 



SALIX REPENS x AURITA (AMBiGUA, Ehfh.} Near the Hotel, with 



both parents. 

 fSALix VIMINALIS, L. Planted by Professor Macpherson. 



SALIX HERBACEA, L. On the Scuir, descending to about 900 ft. alt. 

 POPULUS TREMULA, L. Native, as stunted plants on Cleadale cliffs. 

 EMPETRUM NIGRUM, L. Rather common, and fruiting on the Scuir. 



JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS, L. Uncommon, occurring usually as a 

 prostrate plant. Prof. V. B. Wittrock, to whom I sent speci- 

 mens from Eigg and other parts of the neighbouring coast, 

 remarked that they were nearer J. communis than J. nana, 

 but did not agree fully with any Swedish forms that he 

 had seen.
