168 THE JOURNAL OP BOTANY 



(700 ft.) ; stream descending from the north side of Meall Garbh 

 (1600 ft.) ; both certified by Dr. Moss. Probably frequent in glens 

 of the Highlands ; I am inclined to think it a good average variety. 



S. nigricans x 2:)hylicifolia. An excellent intermediate was 

 found by Dr. Moss and myself on Ben Lawers, very little belov^r 

 3000 ft. 



Taxus baccata L. Not native ; but two trees of considerable 

 age grow on the cliffs above Fortingal, at 700 and 1100 ft., 

 doubtless bird-sown from the very ancient yew in the churchyard. 



Habenaria conopsca Benth. A variation with deep claret- 

 coloured flowers was noticed in the Lyon valley, below Fortingal. 



Polygonatum verticillatum All. Apparently new for the 

 Breadalbane district ; shown to us by Mr. Haggart in a rocky 

 ravine, associated with Gonvallaria majalis L. 



Juncus biglumis L. Meall Gruaidh (or Greigh) ; head of Fin 

 Glen ; north side of Creag Mohr. 



EriopJwrum latifolium Hoppe. Hill-bog, west of the Lawers 

 Burn, at 1200 ft. ; extending only over a very limited area. 



Kobresia biimrtita Dalla Torre (ccm'cena Willd.). Occasionally 

 reaches 3000 ft. on the Ben Lawers range ; it occurs on the north 

 side of Creag Mohr. 



Carex aquatilis Wahlenb. A tall, slender form was met with 

 in profusion near the west end of Loch Tummel. — Var. virescens 

 And. By the Lyon, about six miles above Fortingal ; confirmed 

 by Mr. Bennett. 



C. atrofusca Schkuhr. We obtained this in two corries (about 

 a mile apart) of a mountain, south of Glen Lyon, for which it was 

 not known before ; one fruiting stem measures sixteen inches, and 

 several were fully a foot high. The leaves have a decidedly 

 glaucous hue, which I have not seen mentioned ; Mr. Druce is 

 evidently right in placing it between C. atrata L. and C. rarijiora 

 Sm. We found the altitude to vary from 2300 to about 3000 ft. 



C. fulva X CEderi (type). Northern shore of Loch Tummel, 

 in small quantity ; the hybrid of C. fiUva with C. (Ederi, subsp. 

 cedocarpa And. is quite common, as usual. 



"^'C ^7^-/Zato Huds. (rosira to Stokes) x vesicaria. Marshes at the 

 head of Loch Tummel, showing considerable vai'iation. 



Agrostis nigra With. Native in grassy ground by the river at 

 Fortingal ; we also gathered it in Mr. Druce's station near Lawers 

 Inn, but less dark-flowered. 



Poa nemoralis L. An intensely glaucous plant, apparently 

 var. ccssia Gaud., is abundant on the upper cliffs above Fortingal, 

 from 1000 to 1200 ft. 



'-'Glyceria declinata Br6b. Muddy ground near Fortingal Hotel ; 

 also close to Lawers Inn. 



Equisetum arvense L. What I know as ' var. nemorosum 

 Braun ' grows in damp shade at Fortingal, and by the road from 

 Bridge of Lyon to Fearnan. 



■'•E. arvense x Uviosum {E. litorale Kiihlewein). South shore 

 of Loch Tummel, near the shooting-lodge ; also at the north-west 

 end. In bo^h cases the parents were associated with it ; the
