Garex filiformis, Q.n(k Isoetes echinospora are additions to the 

 flora. 



The year 1893 once again saw me in West Eoss, but 

 this time I chose fresh ground. My route was by the 

 road from Garve to Ullapool by the Dirie More and Brae- 

 more. As this was done through streaming rain, but few 

 plants were added to the list. On the following day, 

 which was beautifully fine, I retraced my steps to Brae- 

 more, with its magnificent gorge and falls, and explored 

 the sides of Loch Broom. Elymus arenarms occurred 

 sparingly on the shingle, the true Solidago Virgaurea, 

 var. angustifolia, Bromus ramosus, Rubus mucronatus, B. 

 fissus, B. Badula, B. incurvatus, etc., were gathered. The 

 beach at Ullapool afforded a plant which I had long been 

 looking for — the glabrous-fruited form of Sisymhrium 

 officiiiarum, Crantz. Here it was the prevailing form, but 

 at Jeantown the typical form alone occurred. Ranuncidus 

 vulgaris grew in the shingle with Cochlearia grcenlandica^ 

 Gcdiuin verum, Buda media, and Fumaria Boraei. The 

 cultivated fields contained two varieties of Veronica 

 agrestis, Fumaria officinalis, the yellow-flowered form of 

 Baphanus Bajjhanistrum, and great abundance of Spergida 

 sativa (the only form noticed) ; it was so abundant as to 

 give a heavy valerianaceous odour to the air. At the head 

 of Loch Broom Hieracium sparsifolium grew by the river, 

 and at Ullapool Hieracium retictdatum, H. auratum, and 

 H. ruMcundum occurred. Near Ullapool, on the road to 

 Loch Achall, some limestone rocks are exposed. These 

 yielded some interesting plants, such as Halenaria viridis. 

 Orchis mascula, Anthyllis Vidneraria, Melica nutans, Pyrola 

 secunda, Gentiana Amarella, Avena pubescens, var. Listera 

 ovata and cordata, and Hahenaria alhida. Most of these 

 grew on the steep banks of the river, which for a short 

 way cuts its course through the limestone. Hieracium 

 iricum was conspicuous, as it was on the limestone of 

 Kishorn. In Loch Achall we found Lobelia JDortmanna, 

 Callitriche hamidata, Chara fragilis, etc. 



One day we sailed by the Summer Islands to a little 

 stretch of sandy beach near Polglass, where we found 

 Garex arenaria, Ligusticum scoticum, Agropyron junceum, 

 and Daucus Garota. A visit was paid to Dundonnell at
