come under the English type, and some of the recently 

 described hawkweeds under the Highland and Scottish 

 types ; but the distribution and relative value of these 

 plants are less known than that of our more lirmly 

 established species. 



There are thirty-six species which belong to the 

 Highland type. I have added their range in altitude 

 in the district — 



Thalictrum alpinum, 2860—800 ft. 

 Draba incana, 0. 

 Silene acaulis, 2860—1950 

 Alcheniilla alpina, 2870--850— 300. 

 Epilobium auagallidifoliuru, 



Hieracium uitidimi, 500 (?) 



riocculosum, 500 (?) 



Guaphaliuni .suijinuni, 2800 — 2300. 

 Saussurea alpina, 2300—1400. 

 Arctostaphylos Uva-Ursi, 1000-0. 



Seduni roseuni, 2200 — 0. 

 Saxifraga stellaris, 2000—700. 



azoides, 2150—0. 



oppositi folia, 2860-1000. 



C'ornus suecica, 1600. 

 Galium boreale, 100. 

 Hieracium holosericeum, 2800 — 2300. 



e.\imium, 2800—2500. 



lingulatum, 1800—1500. 



.seue.scens, 1800—1700. 



anglicum, 1600 — 0. 



Schmidtii (pallidum p.p.), 



1400—1000. 



2700—1800. ' Vaccinium Vitis-Id«a, 2700—0. 



Polya;onum viviparum, 2000. 

 Oxyria digyiia, 2100—700. 

 Salix herbacea, 2870-1850—1600. 

 Juucus tritidus, 2300 — 1550. 



triglumis 2700—2100. 



Luzula spicata, (0—1900. 

 Carex pauciHora, 1100—600. 



rigida, 2800—1500. 



Cryptogramme crisjw, 2700 — 2200. 

 Asplenium viride, 1800 — 0. 

 Lycopodium alpinum. 2500—300. 

 Selaginella selaginoides, 1500 — 0. 

 Lsoete.s lacustris. 1900—0. 



The low ground locality for Alclicmilla alpina is anomalous 

 in the district, being among boulders remote from the 

 higher hills. Scdum roseum {Rhodiola rosea) has not been 

 observed between the shore rocks and 700 feet. Saxifraga 

 azoides and Selaginella probably mount higher than the 

 altitudes given. Asplenium viride has only been met with 

 on one rock on the hills, at 1800 feet. It is more 

 frequent, though a rare plant, from 780 feet to sea-level. 

 Lycopodium alpioium is seldom seen below 1200 feet. 

 Cornus suecica and Polygonum viviparum are very rare. 

 Hieracium nitidum and //. Jlocculosum were fouud by Mr. 

 W. r. Miller in 1895. The altitudes given of these two 

 hawkweeds are only to be considered as approximately 

 correct. 



To the Scottish type belong thirty-seven species — 



Thalictrum dimeuse. Circsea alpina. 



Trollius europseus. Saxifraga hypnoides. 



Subularia aquatica. Parnassia palustris. 



Drosera anglica. Ligusticum scoticuni. 



Vicia sylvatica. Antennaria dioica. 



Prunus Padus. Cnicus heterophyllus. 



Rubus saxatilis. Crepis paludosa.
