Linn., or D. anglica, Huds. In two places where these plants 
grew together, it was interesting to find the hybrid between 
them, D. obovata, Mert. & Koch. 
With these three, a plant grew which has puzzled us very 
much ; it much resembles D. intermedia, Hayne, but we cannot 
decide yet if it should not really go, for several reasons, under 
the same hybrid too. If so, it only shows very strongly the 
well-known fact, that hybrids between two plants may vary to 
a very considerable extent. 
In one or two lochs round Kinlochewe the peculiar Bladder- 
worts (Utricularia neglecta, Lehm., and U. intermedia, Hayne) 
were growing ; these are plants that entrap minute animals in 
the small bladders or pitchers attached to the leaves. Some 
of these lochs also had a very interesting plant, Subularia 
aquatica, L., growing in them; it belongs to Crucifere, but is 
unique amongst the plants of this Order (at least as far as 
British representatives are concerned) in its habit of growing 
totally submerged, flowers and all, in the shallow margins of 
lakes. 
Another interesting aquatic is the Water Lobelia (Lobelia 
Dortmanna, L.), though this seemingly is not quite so much at 
home in the water as the Subularia, as this Lobelia sends up its 
stalk above the surface of the lake to bear the flowers and fruit ; 
one or two lochs had their margins quite covered with the 
swaying flower-stalks and pale blossoms of this plant. 
In dark rocky glens, in places always moist and cool even on. 
the hottest day, the Filmy Fern (ymenophyllum unilaterale, 
Bory) could generally be found, and a spot like this suits too 
Circea alpina, L. (but this was much scarcer) and the Roseroot 
(Sedum roseum, Scop.). 
Pyrola minor, Sw., and P. secunda, L., the Winter-greens, 
were also gathered in rather damp spots near rushing burns, 
but only in fruit. 
On the moors close at hand the delicate lilac-flowered Pale 
Butterwort (Pinguicula lusitanica, L.) grew plentifully, and 
Alchemilla alpina, L., and Galiwm boreale, L., were of very 
_ frequent occurrence.
