DALMALLY PLANTS, 1910 193 



specimen, which I queried as H. dissimile Lindeb. The following 

 is Mr. Linton's opinion : — " Fits description of H, oxyodus re- 

 markably well — leaves, i^ctnicle, phyllary-clothing, &c. I think it 

 must be." The heads seem quite satisfactory, though the foliage 

 is somewhat broader than in my cultivated plants, issued by 

 W. E. Linton. 



■'H. variicolor Dahlst. Very scarce on Ben Laoigh. 

 H. ciliatum Almq. Ben Laoigh, uncommon ; rather weather- 

 worn, but I believe correct, after careful comparison. 



H. Pictorum Linton. Ben Laoigh ; Meall nan Tigearn. 



■-H. crehridens Dahlst. Ben Laoigh ; endorsed by Messrs. Ley 

 and Linton. It seems thoroughly characteristic, except that the 

 ligules were noted (perhaps in error) as being pilose-tipped. 



"il, breadalbcmense F. J. Hanb. Meall nan Tigearn ; I also 

 have this from near Kingshouse, Argyle. Foliage normal ; heads 

 rather more glandular than usual, but matching some of my her- 

 barium plants, and in other respects quite satisfactory. 



■•'H. rivale F. J. Hanb. Ben Laoigh ; Meall nan Tigearn. Some 

 of these gatherings tend towards H. pictorum, and might almost 

 equally well be referred to either. — Var. dasythrix Linton. Ben 

 Eunaich (granite) ; Ben Laoigh and Meall nan Tigearn (mica- 

 slate) . 



■'H. iJetrocharis Linton. Frequent on Ben Laoigh and Meall 

 nan Tigearn. I had never before properly understood this well- 

 marked species, which in its foliage (glaucescent, often faintly 

 blotched) mimics some forms of angliciim, and also has a super- 

 ficial resemblance to H. eiistales. It varies much in the amount 

 of stalked glands on the heads, which are very grey-floccose. 



H. sagittatum Lindeb. var. '-^'subliirtum F. J. Hanb. Ben 

 Eunaich ; probably also on Ben Laoigli, though very near the follow- 

 ing, — Var. -HanuginosumljbnnY. Ben Laoigh. Confirmed by Messrs. 

 Ley and Linton; the latter adds : — " Your specimens are more like 

 Swedish lanuginosum than the Yorks specimens are ; very like, in 

 fact, only that has very hairy stems and petioles, and apparently 

 yellow styles. I think it may go there as a Scottish form." I 

 noted the styles in one case as "livid," in the other as "very 

 dark" ; the petioles and lower stem are also densely white- woolly, 

 where the pubescence is not worn off, so that they must be nearly, 

 if not quite, typical. 



*if. rotundatum Kit. Streamlet below Meall nan Tigearn ; 

 typical, and new for Western Scotland. 



H. duplicatum Almq. var. stenophyes W. K. Linton. 88. West 

 side of Ben More, at 2500 ft. -98. Meall nan Tigearn. Both 

 gatherings were named H. ccBsium var. alpestre by Mr. Linton ; 

 but the heads are much darker, still more glandular, and far less 

 floccose than in my authentic examples of that, and the leaves (at 

 least of the stronger specimens) are more deeply and acutely 

 dentate, broader, and of a decided yellotvisli-gveen. They are a 

 good match with my slieets from Glen Lochay and Ben Laoigh 

 (88), certified by Eov. W. R. Linton. 



II. anfractiforme E. S. Marsliall. Locally rather plentiful on
