PLANTS OF THE DALWHINNIE DISTRICT 165 



decumbent, rooting stems, finely divided leaves, and few, solitary 

 flowers, which Mr. G. C. Druce considers to be rightly named. 

 It agrees very well with the description of B. reptabundus Jord. 

 in Eouy & Foucaud, Fl. de France, i. 100 ; they regard this as a 

 subspecies, citing as synonyms B. repens var. prostratus Gaud, 

 and var. subacaidis Breb. 



Hieracium anglicum Fr. 96. Apparently very uncommon ; it 

 was only observed at over 2000 ft. on Creag Dubh, east of Loch 

 Ericht, both as var. ■•'acutifoliuvi Backh. and var. amplexicaule 

 Backh. {cerinthiforme Backh.), the latter not quite so well marked. 

 [H. iricum was not seen.] — H. eximium Backh. 96. Very scarce 

 in Coire Chuirn, at 2500 ft., associated with il. gracilentum Backh. 

 var. graniticolum (W. E. Linton), which grew more plentifully on 

 another set of rocks not far away, and was again seen above a 

 waterfall at the head of Coire Chais, a few miles farther east in 

 the same range, just out of reach. This second plant was gathered 

 for H. globosum Backh. ; but its foliage and strongly pilose- tipped 

 ligules accord much better with monocephalous examples of 

 graniticolum, though the soil is not granite but mica-schist. — 

 H. lingulatum Backh. 96. The form with yellow styles grows by 

 the Allt a' Choire Chais, and on cliffs above Loch Dubh, six miles 

 north of Cluny Castle. — H. chrysanthum Backh. var. microcephalwn 

 Backh. 96. Stream sides, at 2000 ft., below Bealach Breabag, at 

 the south end of Ben Alder. Nearer the variety than the type, 

 though yellow- styled ; just like a form found on the slopes of 

 Lochnagar, descending to the Dhu Loch, which was placed here 

 by Rev. W. E. Linton.— *ff. Leyi F. J. Hanb. 96. At 2000 to 

 2200 ft. by the Allt a' Choire Chais and the Allt Coire Chuirn ; 

 the usual form of Scotland, diverging a little from the Welsh 

 type by its pure yellow styles, glabrous-tipped ligules, &c. — H. 

 argenteum Fr. 88. Eocks on the west side of the Sow of Atholl. 

 96. Streams on the west side of Ben Alder. — H. Sommerfeltii 

 Lindeb. *96. Allt a' Choire Chais, at and above 2000 ft. ; a form 

 differing from the type (of which it has the foliage) and our 

 named varieties in the heads, which are less pilose and floccose, 

 but much blacker, with more numerous and longer glandular 

 setae. The same form occurs at about 2700 ft. at the head of 

 Cama Choire, in Atholl Forest, 89, just over the "divide." — 

 H. Pictorum Linton. 96. This name was suggested by Eev. E. F. 

 Linton for a plant from cliffs above Lochan Dubh, in the Botanical 

 Exchange Club Beport for 1911, though the specimens submitted 

 to him were in poor condition ; and we believe that this is correct. 

 — H. rotundatum Kit. "96. Evidently frequent in Badenoch, 

 though always met with sparingly ; as a rule it grew by rocky 

 streamlets, from 1800 to 2500 ft. Below Coire Chomlain, Ben 

 Alder ; Allt Coire Chuirn ; Allt Beal an Sporain ; Allt Coire 

 Bhathaich ; Allt a' Choire Chais. We found one specimen high 

 up the Allt Coire Luidhearnaidh, west of Dalnaspidal, "88. — 

 H. eaprepes F. J. Handb. 96. Very rare ; Allt Coire Chuirn, 

 above 2000 ft. A few plants, which we consider to be var. 

 *glabratum Linton, were obtained by the Allt an Lochain Dhuibh,
