Lupinus perennis L. Quite naturalized by the Kilmorack Falls, 

 Beauly, 96. 



Lotus cornicideitus L., with large flowers and rather fleshy leaves,

 var. cceridea (Woods). Lawers. The type ascends to 2000 ft. on 

 Craig Cailleach. — R. tomentosa Sm. To this M. Crepin refers the 

 very glandular rose which an expert had named R. inodora Fries ;

 Moyle Rogers suggested (independently) that it was a tomentosa 

 form. — R. canina L., var. arveitica Baker. Lawers. — Var. pruinosa 

 Baker. Lawers. — Var. ceesia (Sm.). Lawers. — Var. Kosinciana

Spircea Ulmaria L., var. discolor Koch. Reaches 2900 ft. on 

 Lawers. This form was noticed in West Ross also. 



Epilobium montanum L., forma minor Haussk., occurred at Aber- 

 feldy and in Den of Lawers, 88 ; also by Gleann Bianasdail, in West 

 Ross, 105. A form of montanum with very small flowers and 

 repeatedly branching stem (probably owing to the attacks of an 

 Aphis) also occurred. The large branching form plentiful by the 

 road-side at Killin and Lawers Professor Haussknecht has not 

 separated from the type, nor does he specially name the dark red- 

 flowered form, which is not infrequent in some localities. The form 

 (var. verticillatum Koch) occurred at Aberfeldy, as also the form
