232 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



1 20. Carex afrata, L. — Ascends to 11 30 m. on the Grampians 

 of Aberdeenshire ("Cyb. Brit. Comp." 370). In the great corrie 

 of Ben Avon, at about 1000 m. (E. S. Marshall and W. A. Shool- 

 bred in " Journ. Bot." 1906, 160). 



121. Carex Halleri, Gunn. (1772 ). — Ascends to 1 000 m. on Ben 

 Heasgarnich, in turfy places (G. C. Druce, 1906, as C. alpina, in 

 "Bot. Exch. Club Rept." ii. 246 [1907]. 



122. Carex rigida^ Good. — On the very top of Snowdon (Hudson 

 ex "Trans. Linn. Soc." ii. 193 [1792]). Mountain ridges and rock- 

 ledges ; ascending to the summits of all the hills on which it occurs, 

 not infrequently forming a turf on the ridges ("Fl. Perthsh." 326). 

 Ascends to the summit of Ben Lawers (White), of Ben Macdhui 

 (Watson, 1832), of Ben-na-Bourd (Watson, 1844), and of Ben Ime 

 (G. R. Lee in "Ann. Andersonian Nat. Soc." iii. 119 [1908]). 

 Ascends to 1005 m. on Cam Tual ("Cyb. Hib." ed. 2, 400). 



123. Carex rariflora, Smith (1813). — Ascends to 1070 m. on 

 Loch-na-gar, in alpine bogs (E. S. Marshall, 1906, in Watson, "Bot. 

 Exch. Club Rept." ii. 118). 



124. Carex vulgaris, Fries (1842). — Bog near the top of 

 Loch-na-gar (E. S. Marshall, 1906, in "Bot. Exch. Club Rept." ii. 

 246 [1907], C. Goodenovii). Ascends to 1000 m. on the mountains 

 of the Breadalbane district ("Fl. Perthsh." 327). 



125. Carex saxatilis, L. — Marshy places on the mountains of 

 the Breadalbane district, up to 1070 m. ("Fl. Perthsh." 338, C 

 pidld). In a careful examination of the specimens of C. saxatilis 

 in Herb. Linn. Mr. E. S. Marshall says in " Journ. Bot." 1907, 

 p. 366: — "The type-sheet and a second unnamed sheet are both 

 excellent /?///«. The citation in "Spec. Plant." ed. i, from " Fl. 

 Lapp.," cannot be anything else ; nor does the description (quoted 

 from "Fl. Suec") appear contradictory. Taking into account the 

 specimen of C rigida above mentioned, I am convinced that C 

 saxatilis ought to displace C. pulla, Good., rather than C rigida, 

 Good." 



126. Carex panicea, L. — Ascends to 11 30 m. on the Grampians 

 of Aberdeenshire (Dickie ex F. B. White in "Scott. Nat." i. 119 

 [1871]). 



127. Carex lagifiata, Tausch. — On alpine rock-ledges and 

 marshy places, up to 11 50 m., on the Grampians of Aberdeenshire 

 ("Cyb. Brit. Comp." 374). In the mountain form "the leaves are 

 rather less glaucous ; the glumes darker, with the dorsal green stripe 

 not broader than the midrib and the scarious margins very narrow ; 

 and the fruit more or less tinged with purplish-brown " (Syme, " Engl. 

 Botany, x. 134). At 1152 m. on Cairn Toul (Prof. J. Trail, 

 1902).
