66 HIGHLAND PLANTS COLLECTED IN 1896. 



Liudblom = C. meter ophyllnm Sclaur)." Nyman places C. macro- 

 carpum (an earlier synonym of C. lonf/irostre Wicliura) as a sub- 

 species of C. tnviaJe. Our plant is certainly not the variety 

 d. alpinnni Mert. & Koch of the present London Catalofjne, which 

 used (rightly or wrongly) to be called var. alpestre Liudbl. — 

 C. alpinum L., var. pubescens Syme. Fine and characteristic on 

 Stob Coire-an-Easain, Glen Spean, above 3400 ft., associated with 

 C. arcticiim Lange ; the latter also grows on the adjoining Ben 

 Socaich range. C. triiji/nnm Vill. was seen on Aonach Mor, Aonach 

 Beg and Stob Coire-an-Easain. 



Anthijllis Yulneraria L. Glen Koy. 



Lotns ulifiinosiia Schkuhr. Glen Spean, near Eoy Bridge. 



Vicia syh-atica L. At 1300 ft. on the rocky banks of the main 

 stream in Coire Coille, Glen Spean ; flowers almost pure creamy- 

 white. Mr. Bennett writes that it "seems to differ from the 

 normal form by the ciliate calyx, more subulate sepals, and the 

 great development of the tendrils." 



Primus Avium L. Eoy Bridge; probably bird-sown, rather than 

 planted. — P. Padus L. Banks of the Spean, near Roy Bridge. 



Piuhus Jissus Lindl. and PI. suherectus Anders. Both remarkably 

 abundant about Roy Bridge. Pi. pUcatus is much scarcer ; a plant 

 growing close to the railway- station, of which we unfortunately 

 omitted to take specimens, had stamens falling short of the styles, 

 and may be var. hemistemon. — B. Lindleianus Lees. Ardlui, 99. — 

 R. puh'herrimus Neum. Fort William ; Ardlui. — E. villicaulis 

 Koehl. Eoy Bridge. Mr. Rogers named this as var. insidaris, 

 but from a recent letter of his it seems that Dr. Focke considers 

 Areschoug's variety to be the typical Silesian plant. What we have 

 recently been regarding as typical villiraulis (from Ross and Suther- 

 land) appears identical with the usual German form, the stems of 

 which are more hairy than in Koehler's original specimens. — 

 E. Selmeri Lindeberg. Abundant in Glean Spean ; also observed 

 at Fort William and Ardlui. This, one of the most marked and 

 widely distributed British brambles, surely deserves specific rank, 

 apart from E. villicaulis. — E. gratus Focke. Near Ardlui. — 

 E. macrophyllua Wh. & N. (sp. coll.). Roy Bridge. — E. mncronatus 

 Blox. Plentiful in Glen Roy and Glen Spean ; also gathered near 

 Ardlui. — E. infestus Whe. Fort William. — E. radula Whe. Both 

 the type and a form of var. amjlicanus Rogers were collected at 

 Ardlui. 



PotentiUa procumhens Sibtli. Near Tulloch, Glen Spean. 



Alchemilla arvensis Scop. Fields, Glen Roy. 



Eosa tomentosa Smith. A variety with leaves very glandular 

 beneath is frequent in Glen Spean and Glen Roy ; in one case the 

 glands extended on to the upper surface as well. About a mile 

 below Roy Bridge we met with the smooth- leaved variety formerly 

 named E. mollis var. (jhihratn Fr. by Scheutz, on which M. Crepiu 

 remarks: " C'est certainement une des curiosites rhodologiques 

 du nord de I'Ecosse." 7i'. f/lauca Vill. and E. roriifolia Fr. are both 

 fairly common about Roy 13ridge. 



Pi/rvs Mai us L., a. acerha DC. Glen Roy; looking like a native.
