CocJilearia officinalis, L. — Only occurs inland on some 

 islands in a hill loch where gulls breed. The seeds have 

 probably been carried attached to the birds' feet, or on 

 decayed fish brought by them from the shore. 



Sagina i)rocmnbcns, L. — Specimens are occasionally to 

 be found with spinous ciliate leaves ; the ciliatiou varies 

 much in quantity, being confined to one or two leaves, or 

 occurring on all. 



Sagina nodosa, Fenzl. — The glandular form is found 

 with the typical plant. This species only occurs near the 

 shore. 



Spergida arvensis, L. — The only form of this plant which 

 I have seen is var. sativa (Boenn). 



The following fructicose Buhi are found in the district : — 

 B. fissKs, Lindl., R. suhercctus, Anders., rare; B. pUcatus,'W. 

 and N., rather common ; B. carpinifolius, W. and X., rather 

 common; B. Lindleianus, Lees, rare; B. pulclicrriraus, Neum., 

 locally common ; B. dumnoniensis, Bab., locally common ; 

 B. mllicaulis, Koehl. {B. insidaris, F. Aresch.), common ; B. 

 villicaulis, var. Sclmcri, Lindeb., very common ; B. hirtifolius, 

 Muell. and Wirtg., var. danicus, Focke, uncommon; B. mucro- 

 natus, Blox., rather common ; B. infcslv.s, Weihe, rather 

 rare ; B. rosaccus, var. infccundus, Rogers, locally common ; 

 B. conjlifolms, Sm., rare. In the neighbouring district of 

 Sunart I have found B. Borccanus, Genev., which does not 

 appear to have been recorded elsewhere from Scotland. 



Alchemilla vulgaris, L. — The common plant is the var. 

 alpestris (Schmid). It is local in its distribution, being rare 

 in parts, and plentiful in others. Yar. filicaAdis (Buser), 

 also occurs, but is much less frequent. 



Drosera internudia, Hayne. — The scape is generally 

 shorter than the leaves in this district. Although the 

 three species of Drosera may be found together, they fre- 

 quently have a local distribution of their own, each species 

 being alone found in some localities. 



Epilohium adnatum, Grisebach. — A'ery rare. This is 

 one of the few localities in which it has been found in 

 Scotland. The Eev. E. S. Marshall, our chief authority 

 on the genus, named the specimens, as well as the hybrid 

 adnatum x ohsciirum. 



Vihurnum Opidus, L. — Only a few stunted bushes are
