PLANTS OF SUTHERLAND AND CAITHNESS 41 



Ranunculus acris, Z., var. tomophyllus (Jord.). — A very characteristic 

 plant, with broad segments to the lower leaves, which are 

 densely hairy, and with rich golden -yellow blossoms, occurs 

 by the coast at Bettyhill, Tongue, and more rarely in barren 

 soils at Inchnadamph. It also occurs on the Ross-shire coast 

 near Ullapool, and on the Caithness coast at Reay, etc. It 

 may be a distinct species, as it has a different facies from the 

 plant of Jordan, to which it has been referred.
