PLANTS OF GLEN SPEAN, WESTERNESS 131 



S. nivalis, L. — Aonach Mbr. S. stellaris, Z. ; Common. On 

 Aonach Mbr occurred a curious form. It grew at the base of 

 high and steep cliffs, down which water was dripping, among 

 Bartramia and Epilobium alpinum, the latter of which it 

 somewhat mimicked. Instead of the usual rosette of leaves 

 with a leafless erect scape, this had procumbent flower stalks 

 alone: which the leaves were scattered. The stalks and leaves 

 were more fleshy than usual and the leaves less cut. Whether 

 these marks are permanent or not cultivation may decide. 

 The form might be provisionally distinguished as var. fontana. 



S. aizoides, L. — Common; also with the leaves ciliate, i.e. S. 



autumnalis, L. S. rivularis, L. ; Abundant at the base of 



the high cliffs in the corries, as on Aonach Mbr, Stob Coire, 

 etc.
