2(52 THE .TOUKXAL OF BOTANY 



Sdgina subulata Presl. Some fine plants by the roadside helcjvv 

 the Ciova Inn ; a few reached 10 cm. high, but had not the large 

 capsules (4 mm.) of Rouy and Foucaud's var. major. 



S. scotica Druce. In Glen Doll, between Craig Maid and Craig 

 Rennet ; marshes above the head of Canlochen Grlen. References 

 should be made to Dr. Moss's valuable account of this plant in Journ. 

 Bot. 1914, 57 and to an interesting note by James Backhouse, jun., in 

 Phytol. iii. 770 (1849), where he reports from Glass Mhiel (close to 

 Canlochen) a puzzling Sagina. Is it possible that his " sff.vntil/'s''' 

 was scotica, and his " nivalis " perhaps ;S'. saginoides var. mncro- 

 carpa ? 



Montia lamprospenna Cham. North-east end of Loch Wharral ; 

 som-ce of Capel Burn, above Bradoonie. 



Geraniuyn lucidum L. Den of Kirriemuir. 



AlchemiUa pratensis Schmidt. B3' roadside S. of Balgavies 

 Loch. 



A. alpesiris Schmidt. Frequent about Restenneth, Rescobie, and 

 Balgavies. 



A. minor Huds. Y?i\\Jilicaulis (Buser) Lindb. fil. In Glen Dcdl, 

 b 'tween Craig Maid and Craig Rennet ; at about 1200 ft. on slopes 

 E. of Moulzie, near Bradoonie. This scarce plant was first found in 

 Foriar by Mr. Marshall in 1888. 



Saccifraga platypetala Sm. Glen Fee. 



Hipptiris vulgaris L. South of Kinordy House, Kirriemuir. 



Callitriche hamuJata Kuetz. Stream above Den of Kirriemuir. 



Grnaplialium sylvaticum L. var. nigrescens Gren. Not far from 

 the inn at Clova. Attention is called to this plant by its remarkably 

 long flowering-bracts (particularly noticeable in the earlier stage of 

 the inflorescence, when they not infrequently overtop the spike) and 

 the shorter, much denser spikes of flowers, which have involucral 

 scales of a rich brown ; this colouring, however, is sometimes found 

 in the lowland forms of sglvaticiiin. I have excellent examples of 

 var. nigrescens from Glen Doll gathered by Mr. Burkill in 189(5, and 

 have seen it growing near Killin and near The Cairnwell in Perthside. 

 Extreme states of this variety have been confused with the rare 

 G. norvegicum — indeed, my Cairnwell plant Avas so named by two of 

 our ablest British botanists. A sjaionym of var. nigrescens is 

 a])parently var. minus Godet, Fl. Jura, 870, 1853. 



TaraA'acum officinale Weber var. *macidat}tm Jord. Abundant 

 near marshy ground, south of Kinordy House, Kirriemuir. 



Pyrola minor L. Fir wood near Restenneth Priory. 



Veronica serpgllifolia L. var. liumifnsa. Craigs above Lochs 

 Brandy and Whanal. 



*Rhinanthus horealis Druce. Glen Fee. Luxuriant examples 

 reaching nine inches in height ; stem unbranched. 



R. minor Ehrh. An interesting form of this, with bright yellow 

 flowers, grew in Glen Doll at about 2000 ft. elevation, having rather 

 broad blunt leaves, long internodes, and simple stem : it deserves 

 further study on the spot. 



Melampyrum pratense L. "var. •nwnfanum ^dhn^i.'''' Glen Doll, 

 near Craig Maid. This is the " smaller-flowered, more delicate, usually
