108 NEW COUNTY RECORDS FOR SUTHERLAND, CAITHNESS, AND ROSS. 



NymphcBa alba L., var. minor. 108. Loch Hope. Locli Maidie, 

 and also seen in a small sheet of water about a mile and a half north 

 of Altnaharra Inn. Type already recorded. 



Cochlearia officinalis L., var. ? 108. A very large, well-marked 

 form, with inflated silicules, in vast masses, near the eastern corrie 

 of Ben Hope, at 2600 ft. The type has been already recorded. 



Lychnis diunia Sibth., var. 108. With unusually-pubescent 

 broad leaves, and thick, tomentose stem ; flowers very deep 

 crimson. Cliffs overhanging the road below Betty Hill Inn. What 

 appears to be precisely the same form was gathered by J. 0. M. on 

 Stuich-a-Lochain rocks E. of Ben Lawers, Perth, in 1878. The 

 type has been already recorded. 



Stellaria unihrosa Opiz. 108. Betty Hill. 



Trifolium hyhridum L. 107. Helmsdale, near the station. 



Vicia sylvatica L. 108. Sea-cliffs, Melvich. This was a stout, 

 close-growing form, approaching the var. condensata Druce. 



liosa dumalis Biebst. 108. Common, Betty Hill. 



Epilohium anayallidifolium Lam. 108. Ben Hope. Probably 

 all the plants recorded hitherto as E. alpimim L. for Sutherland 

 belong to this species. 



Galium sylvestre Poll. 108. Ledges of rocks, W. side of Ben 

 Hope, at 1500 ft. 



Leontodon autumnalis L., b. pratensis Koch. 108. Ben Hope, 

 at 1600-1700 ft. The type is already recorded. 



Hieracium holosericeum Backhouse. 108. Rare amongst loose 

 stones and rocks, at 2250-3000 ft. Ben Hope, mostly occurring singly. 



H. lingulatum Backhouse. 108. Alt-na-cailhch, above the 

 Falls ; and also above Casheldu, both W.S.W. of Ben Hope. 



Melampyriim pratense L., var. montanum. 108. Ben Hope, at 

 1500 ft. An unusually small white-flowered form. Sparingly 

 amongst grass. Type recorded. 



Mentha hirsuta L. 108. In a ditch. Strath Naver, about eight 

 miles N.E. of Altnaharra. 



Trientalis EuropcBa L. 106. Tor Achilty, E. Boss; and (108) 

 in birch woods below the N.W. face of Ben Hope. 



Plantago maritima L., form piimila Kjellmann. 108. A form 

 new to this country, exactly agreeing with specimens in the Kew 

 Herbarium, gathered by Kjellmann and Liindstrom in the Nordens- 

 kjiold Expedition, 1875, at Insula Wajgatsch, Cape Grebenig, 

 Scandinavia. This interesting plant, which more resembles P. 

 alpina L. than P. maritima, occurs very sparingly, at 3000 ft., just 

 below the summit of Ben Hope, to the W. of the large corrie, 

 growing singly amongst sand formed by the disintegration of the 

 granite boulders, which are stre-svn everywhere around. It is in 

 every way distinct from the Orkney form, minor H. & A. Our 

 thanks are due to Mr. Baker, Prof. Babington, and Mr. Arthur 

 Bennett, for help in the identification of this welcome addition to 

 our flora. The type, which is common on Ben Hope at a lower 

 elevation, has been already recorded. 



Bumex aquaticus L. 108, 109. Altnacaillich, Betty Hill, near 

 the estuary of the River Naver ; and near Reay, Caithness.
