that this has got a place, but could have wished that they had 
both been associated with some other alpine plant more likely to 
stand, as this is only a very pubescent form of Crista-galli ; its 
pubescence depending a good deal on its situation, in my opinion. 
It is nearly twenty years since Dr. F. Buchanan White first drew 
my attention to this plant on Ben Laoigh. 
[1404] Salix Arbuscula + phylicifolia, (Dicksoniana, Sm.). 
This, so far as I know, is the only plant admitted into the 
Catalogue that no one has collected but myself, but, according to 
latest accounts, it is of doubtful value. 
[1677b] Carex ovalis, Good., var. bracteata, Syme, has still got a 
place, so we may expect that the next Flora will give us the length 
of the bract in inches that constitutes the variety. As is well 
known, most plants of this species have a bract of some sort, and 
specimens with and without the bract can be got in the same tuft. 
[1805] [1806] Poa glauca, Sm., and P. Balfourii, Parn., are 
bracketed together, but why I cannot tell. No doubt these alpine 
forms have got a help in the right direction ; but the editor of the 
Catalogue must have seen that the form described as glauca by 
Smith and that as Balfourii by Parnell are two very different 
plants. At the same time our hill Poas and Festucas are in a 
poor way, and form a hopeless muddle. 
[191lb] Lquisetwm arvense, Linn., var. alpestre, Wahlenb, I 
first sent this plant to Mr. Bennett, in 1882, from Ben Laoigh, 
and he named it with a ?, but Mr. Marshall got it im a barren 
state on Ben Laoigh a year or two ago, hence it appears in the 
list. I sent fresh specimens in fruit to Mr. Marshall from Ben 
Crubin, Killin, last year, but as they were sent by me they had to 
be cultivated, and although the Messrs. Linton were within a few 
yards of me on one occasion when I gathered it, they too wished 
to see it cultivated. 
I now make a few remarks on some forms that have not got a 
place in this great list. I refer only to such as present distinctions 
readily appreciable. 
[378] Anthyllis Vulneraria, Linn., var. micacea, Ewing. This 
species has up till now appeared with only one variety, Dillenii 
(Schultz), This has now been replaced by three varieties, and as I 
have no description of any of them, so far as I amaware, I labour 
under a disadvantage. The var. b. coccinea, Linn., I expect has
