OX SOME SCOTTISH PLANTS OBSERVED JULY 1891 187 



true C. gr&nlandica, from which, however, it greatly differs. 

 Brought from Ben Lawers in 1887, it has grown in my garden 

 ever since ; doubtless it occurs also on other high mountains. 

 It does not agree at all well with the specimens of C. arctica, 

 Schlecht., which I have seen, nor with Fries's description of 

 that plant. The very numerous and crowded leaves which are 

 produced in early spring under cultivation suggest C. conferta 

 as an appropriate name, should it eventually prove to be an 

 undescribed species. 



*C. groenlandiea, Z. — Sandy ground, west shore of Inver Bay, 

 near Tain (106) ; locally abundant. A small and characteristic 

 form ; confirmed by Dr. Lange. I hope to treat this more 

 fully elsewhere. It was found by Mr. Hanbury and myself. 

 in July 1890, at Lochinver, West Sutherland (' f io8), and 

 recorded as C. danica. New to the mainland of Britain, but 

 found by Mr. Beeby in Shetland in 1886. 



Sisymbrium Sophia, L. — Coast, Balintore ; looking like a native. 



"Senebiera didyma, Pers. — Damp ground, Balintore ; only a few 

 plants. Doubtless introduced. 



"Lepidium Smithii, Hook. — Bank near the station, Kildarv (106). 

 Like the following, it is recorded from East Inverness. 



• Teesdalia nudicaulis, R. Br. — Near Tain (106); apparently 

 very scarce, but it may have been mostly withered up. 



'Viola eanina, L. (pro parte). — With the last. 



Poly gala vulgaris, L. — By the Carron river, near Bonar Bridge 

 (106). Banks of the Lilian, above Crianlarich. P. serpyllacea, 

 Weihe. — Rather common on the heaths about Tain and Nigg. 



Cerastium semideeandrum, Z. — Sandhills east of Tain; much 

 scarcer than C. tetrandrum. 



Arenaria serpyllifolia, L. } var. leptoclados, Guss. — Plentiful and 



characteristic on the railway-bank at Kildarv. 



A. sedoides, Schultz. — Associated with Cochlearia alpina on the 



shingles of the Lilian, below 600 feet; several vigorous plants 

 in flower. Seed evidently washed down from Pen Laoigh in 



both cases. 



Lepig'onum rubrum, Fr. On the railway at Kildarv. Very rare, 



I believe, so far north. 



Hypericum quadratum, Stokes. — Lane at Kildarv; only a few 



plants. 



*Geranium pratense, /.. — Between Learn and Balintore, sparingly, 

 but probably wild ; not previously recorded north of Banffshire.
