HIGHLAND PLANTS COLLECTED IN 1896. 67 



Saxifrar/a nivalis L. Stob Coire-au-Easain, at 3400 ft., associ- 

 ated with S. riviilaris L., which also grows on Aonach Beg. — 

 S. ccEspitosa L. The true plant was obtained on one of the Glen 

 Spean mountains, very scarce and small ; we believe that the 

 locality is one in which it was met with by some Scottish botanists 

 a few years ago. 



Epilohium angustifuUam L. At 2700 ft. on Garbh Bheinu, 

 Fersit Forest, 97 ; not seen elsewhere. 



Circiea alpina L. Glen Eoy. 



Canim verticUlatum Koch. By Loch Lomond, at Ardlui. 



Senecio viscosus L. Corrour, 97 ; Bridge of Orchy, 98 ; Crian- 

 larich (in great plenty), 88 ; and Ardlui, 99; growing in each case 

 on cinders or other railway debris, and unquestionably introduced. 



Hieracium alpinum L. Aonach Mor and Ben Socaich, 97 ; 

 locally abundant in the second station. — H. holosericeum Backh. 

 Frequent on the hills about Roy Bridge. Ben Chlinaig ; Garbh 

 Bheinn ; Stob Ban ; Stob Coire-an-Easain More ; Aonach Beg ; 

 Ben Socaich, &c. — //. eximiwii Backh. Most rare ; a single speci- 

 men only was gathered on Aonach Mor. Its place is taken by 

 //. calendulifionim, which is far more general and abundant than in 

 any district that we have ever visited. Fersit Forest (descending 

 to 1700 ft.) : Coire-an-Easain More (very plentiful) ; Stob Ban ; 

 Coire Coille ; Aonach Mor ; Aonach Beg, &c. — H. gracHentum 

 Backh. Very sparingly on the top of Ben Chlinaig, 97. Ben 

 Dothaidh, 98. — H. nigrescens Willd., var. (jmcilifoliiim F. J. Hanb. 

 Aonach Beg; scarce. GlenFalloch; "Just like the original Ben 

 Lawers specimens" (Hanbury in sched.). — //. atratiuii Fr. Ben 

 Socaich. An Aonach Beg plant may also belong here, and we refer 

 to this species a hawk weed found in some quantity, at 2800 ft., in 

 Glen Falloch. — H. curcatum Elfstrand. Aonach Mor, locally 

 abundant. Seen sparingly on Aonach Beg ; but time only allowed 

 us to examine a small part of this mountain. — H. Backhousei F. J. 

 Hanb. Ben Socaich, in considerable quantity. — H. liiundatnm 

 Backh. Frequent. — H. senescens Backh. Frequent, and abundant 

 in several of its stations. Aonach Beg ; Garbh Bheinn ; Stob 

 Ban ; Coire Coille; Stob Coire-an-Easain More. — H. chri/santhion 

 Backh. Almost as general and locally plentiful as H. calcndiili- 

 florum, in the Glen Spean mountains. Garbh Bheinn ; Stob Coire- 

 an-Easain More ; Stob Ban ; Ben Socaich ; Aonach Beg. A plant 

 from Ben Socaich has been named var. viicrocephalum Backh. by 

 Mr. Hanbury. — H. centripetale F. .J. Hanb. Coire-an-Easain More, 

 at 2700 ft. ; Aonach Beg, at 3000 ft. Very scarce in both these 

 stations. — hi . subinururiun Lindeberg. Aonach Beg, very rare ; more 

 plentiful by streamlets descending from Stob Ban. — H. calliato- 

 jihijlluin F. J. Hanb. Stream-sides, Coire Coille ; Stob Ban. Var. 

 creninanthes F. J. Hanb. occurs with the type in Coire Coille, and is 

 rather plentiful near the head of Glen Falloch, Perthshire. — 

 //. (iiujiicum Fr. Var. luiKjibnicteatum F. J. Hanb. is the prevailing 

 form about Glen Spean ; typical toit/licum was only noticed in two 

 stations, and H. triciDii Fr. must be extremely rare ; indeed, we did 

 not meet with a single specimen of it. — //. cerinthiforme Backh.
