NOTES ON PLANTS FROM SKYE 165 



NOTES ON PLANTS FROM SKYE. 

 By C. E. Salmon, F.L.S. 



My friend Mr. A. Wallis pcaid another visit '•- to this attractive 

 island in 1915 ; the following notes are the outcome of overhauling 

 his bundle of specimens and noting his remarks upon the various 

 species observed. 



The most interesting feature of the list is the record of a new 

 Armeria, upon ^vhich some observations appear below ; notes also 

 will be found upon Heleocliaris uniglumis and its relation to H. 

 imlustris. 



I am indebted to the Rev. E. S. Marshall, Mr. Clement Reid 

 and Mr. Arthur Bennett for help in various directions. Plants 

 distinguished by an asterisk are supposed new records for v.c. 104. 



Banuncidus acris L. Quirang ! Except for being rather more 

 hairy, this agrees very closely with a Bammculus I gathered in 

 Glen Suleag (Westerness) in 1902, which Mr. Tow^nsend determined 

 as B. rectus Bor. 



Trollius europcBtis L. Portree ; Quirang. 



Papaver Bhceas L. One plant, cultivated ground, Broadford.

 Koehler's type of his B. villicaulis, one of the most constant and 

 generally distributed of Scottish brambles. See Journ. Bot. 1897, 

 45, 46. I have seen a Skye specimen of Druce's and one from Eigg 

 (S. M. Macvicar)."
