Transactions. 1 o 1 



Naias yraminea, Del. var. Delilii, Magnus. — Found by Mr 

 Charles Bailey in a canal near Manchester, the water of which is 

 raised to a warm temperature by the steam, «tc., of works abut- 

 ting on it. The members will find an exhaustive account of this 

 plant in the memoir, by Mr C. Bailej', I was enabled to present 

 to the Society last year. 



Sclioinus ferrigineus, L. — Found by Mr Brebner on heathy 

 ground near Loch Tummell, in Perthshire, in 1884, but deter- 

 mined by Dr B. White, of Perth, in 1885. In Europe it is 

 scattered over a good many parts, but it is by no means general, 

 and is not known out of Europe. It should be looked for in 

 damp heathy ground in other parts of Scotland. 



Carex stelbdata, var. Grypos (Schuli.) — Found by the Messi's 

 Linton in Glen Shee, East Perthshire. In Reichenbach's "Icones 

 Florae Germanicae et Helvetia;," it is figured as a species, but is 

 now generally considered only a variety of stellulata. 



Carex friyida (All.) — Found by the late Mr Sadler in the 

 corrie of Loch Cean-Mor above Glen Callater in South Aber- 

 deenshire. 



Carex ustulata(y^&\\\.) — Re-discovered last year (1885) in one 

 of the mountains in Glen Lyon, Perthshire, by Mr Brebner, who 

 unfortunately met with an accident after gathering four speci- 

 mens only, for one of whicli I am indebted to the tinder, through 

 Dr Wliite, of Perth. There is not the slightest doubt of its being 

 the true plant, as I showed Dr Wliite by sending him Scandi- 

 na\'ian specimens, and I was very pleased to show Mr Symington 

 Grieve, of Edinburgh, that it was the true plant, when I had the 

 pleasure ot a visit from him last Janu.iry. He acknowledged 

 that lie had some doubt, as the " second party " could not find it. 

 It is a most satisfactory find, tlius confirming the accuracy, in 

 this instance, of Don, though not for Ben Lawers, whence lie 

 reported it. 



Carex salina (Wahl), var. Knttpgatensis (Fries sp.), Almquist. 

 — Found by Mr Grant of Wick in abundance along some distance 

 of the River Wick. (A full account of tliis will be found in the 

 Botanical Exchange Club Report which I sent the Society last 

 year.) This is a very interesting addition to our Flora, belonging 

 as it does to a group of Carices which belt the globe near the 

 Arctic regions, descending here and there further south as Gote- 

 bog in Sweden, and Maine in tlie North United States. One 

 Swedish station is nearly one degree further south than its
