208 NEW COUNTY RECORDS FOR SKYE, ROSS, SUTHERLAND, ETC. 



E. S. Marshall is publishing a notice of this new variety, which he 

 was the first to find, and also to work out as a segregate. His 

 specimens were from Argyll. 



Xympluca alba L., var. minor. Pool near Sligachan. 



Hieracinm vuworum L., pro parte, as a segregate. Sneasdal, 

 near the Quiraing. — U. sparsifolium Lindeb. In two well-separated 

 localities in the neighbourhood of Uig. This was considered by 

 one of us as a variety of H. sparsifoJium, approaching as it does the 

 var. diminutum Lindeb., and differing from both type and variety in 

 the shape of the base of the leaf. Mr. F. J. Hanbury, however, 

 places it with the tj^pe, and has so referred to it on p. T-i of this 

 volume. — H. anglicum var. longihracteatuni F. J. Hanb. Lower 

 rocks of Cuchullins, alt. 1500-2000 ft. Also in 1884, on rocks 

 near the Quiraing ; when Mr. Backhouse considered our plant to 

 be " seedling rt7?^/«cin/i " ; and under this title it may have passed 

 through the Botanical Exchange Club into several herbaria. Mr. 

 Hanbury had not then named his variety, but, on seeing our 

 specimens, has agreed to our present naming of them. The type 

 we have previously recorded. — H. Schmidtii Tausch. Rocks at a 

 low elevation, near Uig. Agreed to by Mr. Hanbury. — H. cale- 

 donicum F. J. Hanb. An extension westwards of this new species, 

 which Mr. Hanbury has kindly identified for us. Typical specimens 

 were gathered on rocks in two localities in the neighbourhood 

 of Uig. 



Carex Jiliformis L. Wet ground not far from Sligachan Hotel. 



Aira aetacea Huds. {A. ulifjinosa Weihe). Shallow margin of a 

 pool, with Eriocaulon septangular e, about a mile from Sligachan 

 Hotel. 



105. West Ross. 



Hieracinm murorum L., var. ciliatum Almq. Rocks near Stroma 

 Ferry. The name was suggested by Mr. F. J. Hanbury, and, on 

 comparison with Lindeberg's specimen, there seems no reason to 

 doubt its correctness. 



We noticed more bushes of Piosa mollis Sm., var. glahrata Fries, 

 about half-a-mile along the rail from Strome, and in the shade of a 

 wall of rock a few late flowers lingered, which were of a pure white. 



107. Sutherland East. 



Montia fontana L., var. rivularis Gmel. Helmsdale. This 

 species does not appear to have been recorded. We noticed it 

 only in one spot. 



Scnecio viscosus L. Among stones scarcely above high-water 

 mark, Helmsdale. 



Sonchus asper Hoffm. Helmsdale. A very glandular form, like 

 a plant sent out through the Bot. Ex. Club, in 1884, by Mr. H. 

 Bromwich, from Milverton. 



Stachys arvensis L. Helmsdale. 



liumex aquaticus L. Sea-shore, Helmsdale. 



Fcstuca rubra L,, var. pruinosa Hackel. Near the Ord, but 

 south of the boundary. The same plant we found in 1884 in Skye.
