rigida, Good., and some plants of Hieracium graniticolum, 
W.R. L., were gathered; almost at the top Potentilla Sibbaldi, 
Hall fil., was sparingly seen, in fruit only, and the very summit 
yielded Arenaria sedoides, Froel., a peculiar little plant forming 
great moss-like patches amongst the short wiry turf. 
Other interesting plants of Slioch were Hieracium lingulatum, 
Backh., H. atratum, Fr., H. senescens, Backh., H. Leyi, F. J. Hanb., 
H. anglicum, Fr., v. longibracteatum, ¥. J. Hanb., H. Sommer- 
feltii, Lindeb., Loiseleuria procumbens, Desy., Cornus suecica, L. 
(the little dwarf Dogwood), Poa Balfourit, Parn., and the aquatic 
Tsoétes lacustris, L. 
The much rarer Isoétes echinospora, Dur., in which the spores 
are acutely tubercled, turned up also in two or three lochs near 
Kinlochewe, associated with plenty of the odoriferous Chara 
fragilis, Desv. 
Ben Eay gave us Hieracium rubicundum, F, J. Hanb., and its 
variety Boswelli (Linton), and H. argentewm, Fr., also the 
Loiseleuria and Luzula spicata, DC., again, and the rather in- 
significant looking Arabis petrea, Lam., or Rock-cress. 
Here, too, grew the Alpine Bearberry (Arctustaphylos alpina, 
Spreng.), which at that time was in ripe, black fruit, very taste- 
less compared to the Crowberry fruit (Zmpetrum), which was 
very plentiful; the other Bearberry (Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi, 
Spreng.) also grew lower down the mountain. 
Juncus trifidus, L., was another rather uncommon plant to be 
found on Ben Eay, and quite an abundance of a little Eyebright, 
Euphrasia Scotica, Wetts., which had not previously been re- 
corded in Great Britain except from three other Scotch 
counties. 
The beautiful, almost transparent, little ae Orchis (Malaxis 
paludosa, Sw.) occurred in two places near Kinlochewe; it is 
an epiphyte, always amongst Sphagnum, a most delicate ts 
An interesting point in connection with this plant, is that 
small bulbils fringe the tip of its leaves, which fall off eventually 
and form new plants. 
We had plenty of opportunity here to study the Sundews ; 
every marshy spot almost abounded with Drosera rotundifolia,
