i;8 AXXALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



"A?, major' of Mr. J. S. Rcnvse from Lincolnshire. 

 Dr. Sterneck gives specific rank to the plant named 

 R. Crista-galli, var. Drummond-Hayi by Dr. Buchanan 

 White, and which I have from Perth, Argyll, Forfar, 

 and West Ross ; and this form ascends to over 3000 

 feet on Ben Lawers. 



AlectorolopJms stenopliyllus, Schur., " Enum. PI. Transs.," Index. 

 RhinantJius stenopliyllus, Schur., " Enum. PI. Transs.," p. 

 512. Rhinanthus Crista-galli, var. angustifolius, Gren. & 

 Godr., for the larger portion of my printed records. This 

 I first gathered near the Boat of Garten, Easterness, 

 in 1888, and in Glen Spean, Westerness, in 1891, 

 at Polglass and Braemore, West Ross, in 1893, ar >d from 

 Forfarshire and South Aberdeenshire. It is the plant 

 which Mr. Hanbury gathered near Tain, East Ross, in 

 1890, and first named R, major, but I believe after- 

 wards thought to be a variety of R. Crista-galli. I 

 gathered it at Glengariff in Co. Cork in June 1890; 

 and it is the plant distributed through the Exchange 

 Club in 1896, from Bog of Lynn, Mullingar (coll. H. 

 C. Levinge), and from Lough Owel, Co. Westmeath 

 (coll. W. R. Linton, 1895), under the name " R. Crista- 

 galli, var. falla.r." I have it from Newbury, Berkshire, 

 etc., in 1891, and we may presume it has a wide dis- 

 tribution in the British Isles. 



Alectorolophus borealis, Sterneck, in " Ann. du Cons, et du 

 Jard. Bot. de Geneve," 1899, p. 25. RJiinantJius 

 borealis. This plant, which I gathered at high eleva- 

 tions on several Scottish mountains, and which I noted 

 as a variety of minor, but not Drummond-Hayi, because 

 the capsules were hairy all over, I noticed on Ben 

 Lawers in 1890 and 1898 at 2600 feet, on Lochan na 

 Larige at 2400 feet, on Ben Heasgarnich at 3000 feet, 

 and on Ben Laoigh, Argyll, at 2200 feet. 



Alectorolophus monticola, Sterneck, R/tinantkus monticola. 

 A small pretty branching form which I first gathered 

 at Munlochy in the Black Isle in 1880, near the coast 

 level, and at Invercauld, South Aberdeen, at nearly 

 1500 feet elevation in 1896.
