108 FLORA OF ARROCHAR MOUNTAINS. 
ERICA CINEREA, L. 
Very plentiful in woods and on rocks at a low elevation, par- 
ticularly so on Loch Lomond side. Not common on the hills, 
and not ascending to high altitudes. 
ARMERIA VULGARIS, Willd. 
Alpine.—Apparently confined to the high altitudes in this 
district, as it does not occur on the shore within our boundary. 
The following are the only places at which it has hitherto been 
noted: Ben Arthur, 2,200 feet; Ben Ime, 2,900 feet; Ben Vane, 
2,700 feet. 
PRIMULA VULGARIS, Huds. 
In woods, and beside the streams, common. Ascending to 
1,200 feet on Crois. 
LyYsIMACHIA NEMORUM, L. 
Abundant on the hillsides in the lower parts, and ascending to 
1,000 feet on Cruach-Tarbet. 
GLAUX MARITIMA, L. 
On the shore at the head of Loch Long. 
FRAXINUS EXCELSIOR, L. 
Common in the woods and throughout the low-lying parts of the 
district, but not ascending to high levels. The ash is a con- 
spicuous feature of the roadside near Arrochar, and one magnificent 
example is to be seen in front of the Temperance Hotel in the 
village. This tree is one of the largest of its species in the west 
of Scotland, and is referred to in Volume I. of the “ Annals of 
the Andersonian Naturalists’ Society,” page 63. 
LIGUSTRUM VULGARE, L. 
Frequent in hedges and in the woods, flowering freely. 
Probably an introduction in all cases. 
MENYANTHES TRIFOLIATA, L. 
Common in bogs and swampy places. Ascends to 2,100 feet 
on Ben Arthur. 
Myosoris PALUSTRIS, With. 
Watery places in Glen Loin.
