— Epilohium alsinifolium alone is found in Wales ; it has commonly 

 been mistaken for E. alpinum. 



Trientalis europaa. Ben Lavvers, in open moist ground, amongst 

 Junciis squarrosus, very dwarfish, and bearing only one flower. 

 Coppice near Auchmore, in dry sunny situations, where the fruit 

 is matured. June, July. 



Tojieldia palmtris : of common occurrence in swampy places near 

 springs, at the middle region of the Breadalbane mountains. July. 

 What is termed a calyx, appears to be only a trifid, lateral bractea. 

 I think the corolla is monopetalous : if so, the filaments are attached 

 to the segments. Germen solitary ; the supposed capsules are 

 only valves of one capsule, united in the germen to the summit : 

 they separate at the furrows. 



Luciola spicata : equally general on rocks, near the summits : some- 

 times found, like Gnaphalium supinum, at the side of burns, a 

 considerable distance down the mountains ; probably carried 

 thither by the rains. 



Juncus castaneus. Fion Glen ; Mael Ghyrdy ; and between Ben Cru- 

 achpen and Mael Greadha : although so plentiful in Fion Glen, 

 on the north-west side of Ben Cruachpen, it is scarcely to be de- 

 tected on the other side of that mountain. It is found only in very 

 w^et (not boggy) places at the sources of alpine rills. July. I have 

 not observed it on Ben Lawers. 



Leaves not " flat," but deeply channelled, and rounded at the 

 back, with cellular partitions ; not keeled : the channelled upper 

 surface consists of a membranaceous skin. Angles of the capsule 

 very blunt, and the sides convex. 



J. biglumis: most plentiful on the north-west side of Mael Greadha. 

 In Fion Glen it is often found growing with Juncus castaneus 

 and /. triglumis. It occurs also on the south-east side of 

 Ben Cruachpen ; upon Ben Lawers ; and Schroine ach Lochen ; 

 Mael Ghyrdy. June, July. 



Leaves not flat but tubular, and slightly compressed, with distant, 

 internal partitions. Capsule with three rounded prominences at 

 the summit (hence very abrupt), and the style placed in the hol- 

 low thus formed. Stisfmas long-er and more slender than in J. tri- 

 glumis : in this latter the leaves are setaceous, and as if suddenly
