Anthyllis Vuhieraria L,, var. -'' ovata Bab. 108. Coast rocks, 

 west of Melvich ; very scarce. 



Vicia sylvatica L. 108. Armadale Burn, in small quantity. 

 Bosa mollis Sm., var. * ccendea Woods. 108. Melvich ; 

 small bushes, about three feet high. Fruit mostly naked, but 

 occasionally with a few bristles. 



X B. involuta Sm., * var. 108. Several handsome bushes, up 

 to five feet, grow by the Armadale Burn. Flowers two inches 

 across, pale pink. Sepals long and narrow, nearly simple, very 

 glandular. Fruit bristly, becoming subglobose. Petioles glabrous, 

 but glandular. Leaflets glabrous above, hairy on the midrib 

 beneath, with some scattered glands ; teeth mostly compound, 

 gland-tipped. Stems with many acicles and stalked glands ; 

 primary prickles slender, usually straight, sometimes two-thirds 

 of an inch in length. I suspect that it is a hybrid between B. 

 spinosissima L. and B. suherecta Ley. 



Parnassia imlustris L., var. condensata Wheldon & Travis. 

 108. '' Melvich. 109. Dunnet Links. 



Matricaria inodora L., var. 'phceoce'phala Euprecht. 108, 109. 

 In profusion on the cliffs, about Melvich and Strathy, and east of 

 Keay. 



Artemisia vulgaris L., var. coarctata Forselles. 108. Very 

 characteristic at Melvich, on field-borders. 



Hieracium angUcum Fr., var. lonqihracteatum F. J. Hanb. 

 108. Eocks above Farr Kirk (Betty Hill). 



H. caledo7iicum F. J. Hanb. 108. Sandy coast slopes, 

 Strathy. 



H. argenteum Fr., var. scptentrionale F. J. Hanb. 108. 

 Sparingly on rocks, west of the Eiver Naver, opposite Betty Hill. 

 A modification, due to the unusual habitat, was seen on sandhills 

 at the mouth of the Strathy Water ; the normal form occurs on 

 the cliffs. 



H. euinepes F. J. Hanb. 108. Sandhills, Strathy ; not quite 

 typical, but passed by Eev. E. F. Linton. 



H. reticulatum Lindeberg, var. ■'- amplidentatum F. J. Hanb. 

 108. By the Strathy Water ; below the bridge ; only a few roots. 

 H. maritimum F. J. Hanb. This may be extinct in its only 

 known station, at Melvich ; but the long drought, lasting from 

 April to July, caused a great reduction in the flowering of the 

 Hawkweeds. 



* Euphrasia Bostkoviana x scottica, n. hybr. 108. With 

 the parents, by Loch Mor, Betty Hill. Usually nearest to scottica 

 in habit ; but with larger leaves and flowers ; glandular hairs 

 shorter and fewer than in Bostkoviajia. 



■■' E. hrevipila x latifolia, n. hybr. 108. Grassy cliffs, 

 Melvich ; only seen at one spot, where the parents were asso- 

 ciated. It has the copious whitish-grey pubescence of latifolia ; 

 but the habit is intermediate, the leaves are more sharply toothed 

 (not crenate), and the upper bracts are thinly clad with short- 

 stalked glands : whereas latifolia appears, in that neighbourhood, 

 to be always eglandular. Among the long grass E. latifolia often
