Knapweed (Centaurea nigra, Linn.)—By roadsides, fields, 
etc., but not on the hills. 
Autumnal Hawk-bit (Apargia autumnalis, Willd.)—Common 
in fields and on wettish slopes at low levels, and occasional to 
800 feet. 
Cat’s Ear (Hypocheris radicata, Linn.)—The commonest and 
most widely spread of the composites, forming one of the 
dominants in fields at low levels and along the roads, but not 
on the shore side. It ascends the allts on wettish banks to 
900 feet. 
Dandelion (Taraxacum Dens-leonis, Desf.)—A frequent but 
not common roadside and hill plant at low levels, and occa- 
sional on the higher hills and rock hollows up to 1500 feet. 
Smooth Hawk’s-beard (Crepis virens, Linn.)—By roadsides 
and in fields. 
Marsh Hawk’s-beard (Crepis paludosa, Moench.)—One of the 
commonest, and, perhaps, the most ornamental flower of the 
rocky and wooded allts up to 1000 feet, being specially pro-

Wood Hawkweed (Hieracium sylvaticum, Sm.) Wall Hawk- 
weed (Hieractum murorum, Linn.)—This plant in its multi- 
farious varieties is common on rocky places, from road levels 
up to 1750 feet. It is often a beautiful adornment of the 
rocky banks of the higher course of streams. Forms not 
meanwhile differentiated. 
Alpine Hawkweed (Hieracitum alpinum, Linn., probably 
nigrescens, Willd.)\—On Carn Glas, at 1450 feet, on a rock 
face. 
Broad-leaved Hawkweed (Hieracium boreale, Fr.)—Hawk- 
weeds of this form are occasional on low ground along the 
shore banks, and on banks by the roadside.

Water Lobelia (Lobelia Dortmanna, Linn.)—In Corran 
Lochan. 
Harebell (Campanula rotundifolia, Linn.)—Occasional, but
