 Fersit Forest. — H. flocculosum Backb. Aouacb Beg, between 2500 

 and 3000 ft. ; Coire-an-Easain More. Very scarce. — H. Langwel- 

 Icnse F. J. Hanb. (?) A plant whicb, wben dried, seems to us in- 

 distingnisbable from type-specimens of tbe above, was gatbered in 

 quantity by the stream descending into the Lairige-an-Leacan from 

 IStob Ban, and more sparingly in Coire-an-Easain More and Coire 

 Coille. — H. argentcum Fr. Glen Spean, near Inverlair ; scarce, — 

 H. iiuitlnm Baclvh. Lairige-an-Leacan and Coire-an-Easain More 

 (W. A. S., 1891). — H. Sommerfeltii Lindeberg. Coire-an-Easain 

 More ; Stob Ban. A plant with unspotted leaves, from shingles by 

 the Spean below TuUoch, is (we believe rightly) placed here by 

 Mr. Hanbury. — Var. tadiim F. J. Hanb. Ascent of Aonach Mor; 

 fairly plentiful, between 1800 and 2000 ft.— H. Pictorim F. J. Hanb. 

 Aonach Beg ; ascending to 3000 ft. Mountain (not named in the 

 ordnance-map, but probably Ben-na-Van) west of the Lairige-an- 

 Leacan. Head of Glen Falloch (2700 ft.). — Var. chii^i/tlirLv Linton. 

 Aonach Beg ; Coire Coille ; Stob Ban, 97. Ben Dothaidh, 98. 

 Head of Glen Falloch. A good and well-marked variety, usually 

 growing mixed with the type ; separable by its yellow styles, more 

 dingy pappus, and more shaggy heads. — //. rivale F. J. Hanb. 

 Apparently quite common on the Glen Spean mountains, the name 

 being applied in a wider sense than usual; but we find it difficult 

 to consider all the plants grouped under it by Mr. Hanbury as 

 properly referable to one species. Stob Ban ; Coire Coille, very 

 pleutiful ; Garbh Bheinn ; Coire-an-Easain More ; Glen Falloch 

 (2700 ft.j. — Var. mikirtura F. J. Hanb. By streams descending 

 from Stob Ban to the Lairige-an-Leacan, in good quantity. — 

 H. muroriun L., var. sarcoiihi/llurn Stenstrup. By streams, rather 

 uncommon and scarce, between 400 and 2500 ft. Beside the Roy, 

 two or three miles up the glen ; Stob Ban ; Garbh Bheinn ; Coire 

 Coille. The leaves were blotched with dark purple in all the 

 specimens observed. — H, euprepcs F. J. Hanb. Scarce. Aonach 

 Beg. A form with fairly typical heads, bat peculiarly toothed root- 

 leaves, was found by the main stream descending from Aonach Mor 

 into Glen Spean, at 1500 ft. — H. ciesinm Fr. A plant from Coire- 

 an-Easain More (2700 ft.), having yellow styles, is placed here by 

 Mr. Hanbury.— /J. insulare F. J. Hanb. Coire Coille, at 2500 ft. ; 

 not quite typical. — H. stenoplujes W. R. Linton, " or very near it " 

 (Hanbury in litt.). Plentiful in a porphyritic gully on the north 

 side of Sgorr-na-Insse, Glen Spean. — H. suhanfractuin E. S. Mar- 

 shall. Stream-side, Fersit Forest ; locally abundant. Streams 

 descending to the Lairige-an-Leacan, on the west side. — H. 

 spdisifoliitm Lindeberg. Glen Spean, near Inverlair ; both tbe 

 unspotted and the more usual Scottish plant {'■'■iovixiQ, cruentata" 

 Lindeb.) with purple-blotched or marbled leaves. — H. dovrense Fr. 

 Busby places. Glen Roy ; in some plenty, but very local. — ■ H. 

 Deivari Boswell. By the Spean at Roy Bridge, very scarce.
