FLORA OF ARROCHAR MOUNTAINS. Im5 
JUNIPERUS NANA, Willd. 
Alpine.—Rocks and stony places at an altitude of about 2,000 
to 2,500 feet. This plant has been found on four of these hills, 
viz., Ben Arthur, 2,000 feet; Ben Narnain, 1,900 to 2,500 feet ; 
Crois, 2,200 feet; Ben Vane, 2,500 feet. 
PINUS SYLVESTRIS, L. 
Frequent in the woods and on the hillside behind Arrochar, 
but nowhere abundant, and never forming pure coniferous wood- 
land. The pine is not found at a high altitude in the district. 
MALAXIS PALUDOSA, Sw. 
In the “Clydesdale Flora” this species is mentioned as 
occurring “near the head of Loch Lomond;” and, in the 
British Association Handbook, Ben Vorlich is given as a station. 
These two records are probably identical, but I do not know 
whether this rare orchid has been found in recent years in the 
locality indicated. 
LISTERA CORDATA, R. Br, 
In a shady part of the woods near the head of Glen Loin. 
Very abundant. 
ORCHIS MACULATA, L. 
Very abundant in marshy places throughout the district, and 
ascending to 2,200 feet on Ben Arthur. 
GYMNADENIA CONOPSEA, Br. 
Common near the base of the mountains on the Argyllshire 
side of Loch Long, and in Glen Croe. Frequent in other parts 
also, but not ascending. 
HABENARIA ALBIDA, Br. 
On the moors near Coiregrogain. 
HABENARIA BIFOLIA, Br. 
In Glen Loin. Both this and the preceding species are 
probably frequent in the district, but unrecorded. 
HABENARIA CHLORANTIHA, Bab. 
In Glen Loin. Low ground only.
