the rocky debris at the base of the great cliffs of Lochnagar in 

 full exposure. 



Deschampsia alpina, Beaitv. Very plentiful and particularly fine in 

 the Spout of Lochnagar in 1899. 



Poa annua, Z., var. sufina (Schrad.). On the cliffs of Corrie 

 Ceannmor. 



P. alpina, L. I again carefully collected all the forms of Poa 

 which I could gather on Lochnagar, and am convinced that 

 the plants we have been calling P. stricta, Lindeb., from this 

 locality and from the cliffs of Canlochen, Forfar, and from the 

 Ben Nevis range in Westerness, are not identical with that 

 plant, but are only forms of Poa alpina, so far as my own 

 gatherings go, and so far as any specimens yet seen by me 

 from Britain are concerned. In this opinion Professor Hackel 

 quite agrees. It may be worth while to give the varietal name 

 of angustior to the more caespitose plant with narrow panicles, 

 which appears to be always viviparous, and which 

 occurs in Canlochen, on Aonach Mor, and on Lochnagar; 

 but Professor Hackel has not separated these plants from the 

 type. In the case of the occurrence of this variety or form, it 

 appears to be correlated with the factor of greater shade, and, 

 consequently, of lower temperature. Poa stricta, Lindeb., 

 . should be deleted from our lists. 



P. pratensis, Z., var. subavrulea (Sm.). Corrie Ceannmor. 



Festuca rubra, Z., sub-var. barbata, Hack. Lochnagar and Glen 



Callater. 

 Arrhenatherum precatorium, Beauv. In uncultivated ground at 



Ballater.
