PLANTS OF GLEX SPEAN, WESTERNESS 1S1 



Sparganium minimum, Fries. — (S. natans, L., herb, et auct. plur.) 

 Gairlochy. 



Scirpus paueiflorus, Lightf. — Near Inveroy. S. esespitosus, L. ; 

 as type, and viviparous on moorland above Lianachan. S. seta- 

 eeus, Z. ; by the Spean near Inveroy. 



Eriophorum polystaehyon, Z. ; and var. minus, Koch. — Beinn 

 Chaoruinn. 



Rhynchospora alba, Wahl. — Coneachan, etc., locally common. 



Carex dioica, Z. — Apparently rare, but perhaps gone over. C. pauei- 

 flora, Lightf. ; rather frequent on one moorland above Lian- 

 achan. C. eaneseens, Z. ( = C. eurta, Good.) ; near Roy : 

 also '" C. alpieola, Wahl. ; Roy; the former on south side of 

 Spean nearly opposite Roy. C. rigida, Good. ; which I should 

 certainly keep separate from the next species, C. Goodenovii, 

 Gay, which occurs in several fornio. C. flaeea, Schreb. : 

 "Fl. Lips." (177 1) ; common and very variable. (In Richter's 

 " Plantae European," p. 160, the author writes C. glauca, Murr. 

 "Prod. Fl. Goett." p. 76 (1770). If this were a correct citation 

 the name C. glauca would take precedence, but it is not so : 

 on the page cited, Murray quotes Haller's description but gives 

 no name to the variety. It is given by Scopoli as C. glauca 

 in ed. ii. of Fl. Cam. 223). C. pilulifera, Z. ; typical, also 

 in a bracteate form on Creag Meaghaidh. 



C. palleseens, Z. — The usual British form (C. uudulata, Kunze) 

 according to my observation is that in which the lowest bract is 

 transversely crimped at the base. In several specimens met 

 with in the Spean valley, as at the bridge near the Roman 

 Church, the bracts were free from this wrinkling. C. vaginata, 

 Tausch., very rare ; Stob Coire. 



C. Hornschuehiana, Hoppe. — Common.* C. xanthoearpa, De^J. ; 

 near Inveroy. Corrie of Stob Coire. C. flava, Z. ; type 

 on Stob Coire and Aonach Mor, etc. : * var. (Ederi, Lilj. : 

 Roy, Moy, etc. 



C. rostrata, Slakes. — Near Roy and by Loch Laggan, etc. C. 

 saxatilis, /,. — On the moist grassy slopes of the Corries of 

 Aonach Mbr, Stob Coire, Beinn Chaoruinn, and Creag Mea 

 ghaidh. 



Phleum pratense, Z. — Roy; also var. nodosum, /.. — Inveroy. 

 * P. alpinum, L. ; rare, Stob Coire an Lusuin. 



Agrostis vulgaris, //////.; var. A. nigra. With. — Roy. A. canina. 

 Z. ; rare ; Aonach Mor. 



Desehampsia csespitosa, Beauv. ; var. alpina. Gaud. — Aonach
