Notes on the Flora of the Island of Rum, one of the Heh'idcs. 

 By Symington Grieve. 



(Read 11th March 1SS6.) 



Mr Grieve read a paper of considerable length, in which 

 he narrated some of his experiences while botanising at 

 Eum for nine days in July 1884. He also referred to the 

 notices of the island and its botanical features mentioned 

 by various writers during the last three centuries. 



In submitting the following list of plants collected on 

 Rum, Mr Grieve said that he had to acknowledge his 

 obligations to Mr Arthur Bennett, Croydon, Surrey, who 

 had kindly examined and named the Potaraogetons, Carices, 

 and Grasses. He remarks that this is the first record of 

 Potamogcton prcelongus, Wulf., on the west of Scotland. 

 There is also a specimen of a peculiar form of Carcx Jlava^ 

 but unfortunately the fruit is not mature enough for exact 

 determination.
