On the micaceous summits of the Highland mountains. 



Near the top of Ben Lomond plentifully, 1782. 



Perennial. Jubj. 



Root slender, creeping, black. Stems from 2 to 4 inches long, 

 very slender, quite simple, cottony, sparingly leafy, seldom 

 quite erect, and often nearly prostrate -, sometimes bearing only 

 one solitary terminal^oz^Tr,- but most usually ending in a sim- 

 ple, lax cluster, of from 3 to 5 or 6 Jlowers, whose stalks are 

 clothed with an abundant lax cottony web. Leaves very nar- 

 row, almost linear, an inch or two long, finely cottony on both 

 sides 5 crowded about the root ; scattered on the stem. Cat. 

 rather ovate than cylindrical, generally spreading even while in 

 flower, smooth ; its scales brown, of a narrower and more acute 

 form than either of the preceding, from which this species may, 

 I think, by that mark be known, while the conspicuous partial 

 stalks of the flowers, often considerably elongated, afford a good 

 scientific distinction. There are indeed dwarf alpine states of 

 G. sylvaticum, which approach the supinum, one of which is G. 

 supinum lavendulce folio, Bocc. Mus. 107. t. 85 -, but the dense 

 tufted ?it^&\\Q flowers indicate the true sylvaticum. The recepta- 

 cle of all these species is alike, slightly cellular. Seed-down rough. 

 Marginal florets of the present less ligulate than in the others, 

 and unequally notched. See Engl, Bot. 1. 1 193, and Fl, Br,
