Ben a' Bhuiridh and Ben Bunaich. An abnormfil specimen 

 gathered on Ben Laoigh has an umbellate inflorescence, and very 

 long teeth on some of the leaves. 



'^'H. acroleiicum Stenstr. var. dcBcldlolepium Dahlst. Shingles of 

 the Orchy below Dalmally ; just like plants from the Shee Water 

 so named by Eev. W. E. Linton. Mr. Ley writes : — " Certainly, in 

 my judgment, dcedalolepium." I must, however, confess myself 

 unable to draw a clear line of demarcation in the dried state between 

 these two lots and H. vulgatum, though they look very different 

 when growing. H. vulgatum var. sejunctum is well marked on a 

 wall near Dalmally Station. 



H. Dewari Bosw. By the Orchy, at and below Dalmally ; 

 sometimes luxuriant. 



H. stictophyllum Dahlst. Common in Strath Orchy ; the 

 form with unblotched leaves, but otherwise normal, occurs here 

 and there with the type. A few plants were noticed on Ben a' 

 Bhuiridh (nearly 2000 ft.) and Ben Laoigh (about 1500 ft.). 



H. reticulatum Lindeb. Dalmally, very scarce. My herbarium 

 specimens would pass very well for var. amplidentatum F. J. Hanb. 

 (under strictum), which Mr. Linton and I consider hardly more 

 than an exaggerated leaf -form. I cannot understand on what 

 grounds this excellent species has been combined with H. strictuvi 

 Er., from which it differs widely not only in colour and habit, but 

 in several details of importance. 



■'H. angustum Lindeb. Another good species, occurring at 

 Dalmally in two forms, or rather states, according to the open or 

 shade-grown situation. 



H. corymbosum Fr. var. ''■' salicifolium (Lindeb.). Banks of the 

 Orchy, under bushes ; much modified by the situation, with foliage 

 almost efloccose beneath. Endorsed by Mr. Linton and Mr. Ley, 

 who tells me that in Wales this is very hard to distinguish from 

 corymbosum. Is this Welsh corymbosum quite the same as the 

 Scandinavian and Scottish type? Salicifolium, ^ a,B I know it, 

 looks like a different species from the latter. In these Dalmally 

 specimens the ligules are of an unusually pale lemon-yellow. 



Taraxacum speciabile Dahlst. Rills and boggy places on the 

 hills ; I am not sure whether this has been recorded for v.-c. 98, 

 but it is evidently common in the Highlands. 



Pyrola rotundifolia L. Meall nan Tigearn. 



Myosotis iMlustris Hill var. strigulosa (Eeichb.). Strath Orchy, 

 not common ; M. repens G. & D. Don is plentiful. 



Bhinanthus stenophyllus Druce (I cannot find out where, if at 

 all, Schur published this as a species). Only seen in one spot, 

 close to Dalmally Bridge. Among the synonyms given by Ster- 

 neck (Monograph of Alectorolophus) is "i?. major var. angustifolia 

 Fries, in Schedis." This was almost certainly a misprint or 

 clerical error ; Fries knew B. major too well to have overlooked 

 the difference in the flowers. It seems, indeed, to be his B. minor 

 var. angustifolius, Nov. Fl. Suec. Mantissa, iii. 62 (1813). Even 

 if Bhinanthus L. cannot be retained, after shedding Parentucellia, 

 &c., Mr. Druce seems to be justified in citing Bhinanthus Huds. ;
