64 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



but hopes to look this plant up next year. At present it seems 

 impossible to rightly determine it, until its surroundings are carefully 

 observed. Dr. Almquist s engaged on the genus Carex for the 

 twelfth edition of Hartmann's " Scandinavian Flora." ARTHUR

Scotch Hieraeia. Mr. F. J. Hanbury has recently examined 

 some Hawkweeds which I collected some years since in Scotland. 

 Among the interesting records are H. callistophylluni, F. J. Hanb., 

 from Glen Callater, South Aberdeenshire, in July 1878, and named 

 for me in that year by Mr. G. J. Baker H. pallidum. H. Sommerfeltii, 

 Lindeb. This is the H. pallidum from Glen Ennich, Easterness, 

 1887, recorded in "Journ. Bot," 1888, p. 21. H. dovense, Linton ; 

 Glen Callater, July 1878, South Aberdeenshire. This was named 

 H. ccesiuni by Mr. J. G. Baker during the year. Neither H. callisto- 

 phylluni nor H. dovense had, at the time I got these specimens, 

 been described. G. C. DRUCE. 



Melaneonium Pandani has been recorded ("Trans. Bot. Soc. 

 Edin.," xx. p. 413) as destructive to Pandanus tenuifolius a 

 Rodriguez plant in Edinburgh Botanic Garden. It had not been 

 recorded previously from Scotland, though destructive in gardens 

 elsewhere.
