PHANEROGAMS AND FERNS OF SOUTH ARDGOIL. 15 
Golden Saxifrage (Chrysosplenium oppositifolium, Linn.) — 
Frequent at all levels from roadsides up to 2000 feet, where 
it is a beautiful object in wet hollows among rocks. 
Grass of Parnassus (Parnassia palustris, Linn.)—Plentiful, 
especially in moist places among rushes, from sea-level up to 
1900 feet, being best developed about 400 to 600 feet. 
Round - leaved Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia, Linn.)— 
Common and widely distributed, especially on peaty ground, but 
not on pure peat; often on sphagnum. Does not rise apparently 
above a few hundred feet (no note of elevation), 
English Sundew (Drosera Anglica, Huds.)—On a field, long 
out of cultivation, to north-east of Lochgoilhead, on the slope 
of the Steeple Hill. 
Marsh Pennywort (Hydrocotyle vulgaris, Linn.)—Local and 
not common ; only at low levels. 
Wood-sanicle (Sanicula europea, Linn.)—Common, especially 
in the wooded allts up to 600 feet. 
Bishop-weed (Agopodium Podagraria, Linn.)—By roadsides. 
Whorled Caraway (Carum verticillatum, Koch.)—By far the 
commonest of the umbellifers; occurring in great abundance on 
wet parts of the hillsides and on gently sloping banks of the 
allts. Its appearance among rushes indicates that the con- 
ditions of moisture are not sufficient for the best development 
of the rushes. It flourishes up to about 600 feet, where it 
ceases somewhat abruptly. 
Water Dropwort (Oenanthe crocata, Linn.)— See Shore 
Margin (p. 3). 
Angelica (Angelica sylvestris, Linn.)—Occurs occasionally 
along banks by the shore and by the roadsides ; is common on 
the wooded banks of streams up to 1000 feet. It apparently 
does not occur in the woods. 
Cow-parsnip (Heracleum Sphondylium, Linn.)—Occurs fre- 
quently along the shore-side, occasionally by roadsides, and up 
Allt Onich and Eas Garbh to 500 feet. 
Wild Beaked-parsley (Cherophyllum sylvestre, Linn.)—Only 
on the shore and in garden corners; not common. 
Earth Nut (Bunium flecuosum, With.)—On grassy banks up 
to 750 feet. 
Ivy (Hedera Helix, Linn.)}—Common in the wooded parts, 
and also found adorning rock faces, rooted in clefts as high as 
500 feet at least.
