 H. auratum, Fries. Glen Nevis. 



Leontodon autumnalis, L., var. sordida, Bab. Fort William. 

 var. pratensis, Koch. Glen Nevis. 



Taraxacum palustre, DC. Corrie of Ben Nevis. 



*Statice pubescens, Sm. -This pleurotrichous Thrift was the only 

 form noticed in Westerness, either at the sea-level at Arisaig, 

 or from the corrie of Ben Nevis, where some specimens were 

 the broad-leaved plants var. planifolia (Syme), Druce. 



Centunculus minimus, L. Very small near Morar, on sandy peaty 



soil. 



Erythrsea Centaurium, Pers. Morar. 

 Gentiana campestris, L. Arisaig, local. 



Myosotis palustris, Relh.

fMimulus Langsdorffii, Donn. Arisaig. 



Euphrasia brevipila, Burn, and Gremli. Arisaig, Mallaig, Glen 



Nevis, etc.

 p. 178). Corrie of Glen Nevis. 



*R. borealis (Sterneck), Druce, I.e. Ben Nevis corrie. 



Utricularia minor, L. Loch nan Eala, Arisaig. 



U. intermedia, Hayne. Arisaig. 



*Mentha piperita, Linn. Growing plentifully among Phragmites on 

 the border of Loch nan Eala, Arisaig. M. Briquet considers 

 M. piperita to be a hybrid of M. viridis and M. agi/atica. 

 The author of the name M. piperita is Linnaeus. He gave it 

 this name in the first edition of the " Species Plantarum," and 

 refers to the plant described in Ray's "Synopsis," and that 

 plant is M. piperita and not a form of M. aquatica, which 

 Smith thought the plant of Linnaeus to be, moreover it is 

 properly represented in his herbarium. In the above locality 

 it looks native, but the place is within a mile or less of the 

 Arisaig gardens, and this may have been its source. At no 

 distant period the lake was of much larger extent, but a channel 

 was cut through the rocky margin to the sea, which has resulted 

 in draining a very considerable portion of the neighbourhood.
