found growing not far from the town of Cromarty, and the 
coral root, Corallorhiza innata, has been found in a moist 
bit of wood near Fortrose. I am very glad that P. grandi- 
flora has been found in Scotland. Now we have the whole 
set of Pingwiculas in this country, and we have three, if 
not all the four, in this district of Ross-shire. If one had 
time to keep searching, doubtless many more rarities would 
be found in many different localities. 
Mr, J. F. JEFFREY exhibited some Composite from Yunnan 
and Chinese Tibet, collected by Mr. George Forrest. 
The Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, 
has recently been enriched by a beautiful collection of plants 
containing many novelties from Yunnan and Eastern Tibet, 
made by Mr. George Forrest in 1904-05, when collecting 
seeds for Mr. A. K. Bulley, of Neston, Cheshire. 
The Composite of this collection, which number rather 
more than one hundred species, after having been carefully 
compared with the extensive series of plants from the same 
region preserved at Kew, were found to contain about a dozen 
new species, but not one new generic type. 
As has been pointed out by Mr. W. B. Hemsley, there is a 
much larger element of the Himalayan flora in the province 
of Yunnan than of the flora of China generally. So far as 
the Composite go, the present collection entirely bears this 
out, for about 50 per cent. of Mr. Forrest’s plants are knowa 
to occur in the Himalaya mountains, while the percentage for 
the whole of British India is even higher. Again, of the 
thirty-seven species restricted to China, twenty-seven are not 
known to extend beyond Yunnan and the neighbouring pro- 
vince of Szechwan, except it be in Eastern Tibet. 
The genus Senecio is represented by sixteen species in 
My. Forrest’s collection, including one very fine undescribed 
species. Of this genus thirty-five species are recorded in 
“ Forbes’ and Hemsley’s Enumeration of Chinese Plants ” 
(1888), and new species described from China since then 
have brought the number up to one hundred and twenty- 
nine. Saussurea—another genus of remarkable diversity of 
habit — contains ninety-two species already known from 
1 The new species will appear in a forthcoming part of the “ Notes 
from the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh.”
