PLANTS OF W. SUTHEELAND AND CAITHNESS. 

 By the Key. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



Mr. F. J. Hanbury and I did some collecting, last summer, 

 during the second half of July and early August, chiefly near 

 Melvich. Few novelties were observed, as these coasts had 

 already been worked a good deal by ourselves and others ; but it 

 may be worth while to mention the more interesting observations. 

 So far as we know, the starred records are vice-comital additions. 



Viola canina ' L.', Hayne {ericetorum Schrad.). 108. Very 

 small, probably starved specimens were seen in barren, stony 

 ground near Strathy Point. 



V. Lloydii Jord., var. " insignis Drabble. Dr. Eric Drabble 

 thus names the handsome, large-flowered pansy so plentiful in 

 fields about Melvich (108), Wick (109), and many other places 

 on the north coast. It appears, however, to be also native ; we 

 noticed it about Strathy and Altnaharra, in places well away from 

 cultivation. 



" V. derelicta Jord. 108. Frequent in outfields at Melvich, 

 often as an unusually large-flowered form. Confirmed by Dr. 

 Drabble. 



Cerastmm tetrandnim Curt. 108. A peculiar form or variety, 

 small, erect, with the stem-leaves often large and broadly-ovate ; 

 occurs in crevices among the rocks at Strathy Point ; I have seen 

 nothing to match it elsewhere.
