other interesting plants. The scenery towards the head 

 of the glen is of a very interesting character. Near Dun- 

 donnell, in a swampy, shady place, occurred a plant which, 

 I have little doubt, is identical with Forster's Caltha 

 radicans. It rooted freely from the nodes, and formed an 

 interlacing mass. The flowers were decidedly smaller than 

 in C. ixdustris, and the sepals narrower, and therefore not 

 contiguous. The shape of the radical leaves varied. Some- 

 times they were almost as deltoid as the one figured in 

 " English Botany ; " at others, they were scarcely different 

 from the type. The serration also varied very considerably. 

 The leaves on the stem above the first rooting point were 

 almost invariably of a bluntly, triangular form. It would 

 be interesting to learn if Don's plant had the actual root 

 leaves as well as the leaves of the stem at its first rooting 

 point of this deltoid shape. I may say that the plant 

 occurred in several places, and was uniformly rooting in 

 its habit. All the flowers which I observed had narrower 

 and rather smaller sepals. The creeping stems were very 

 brittle, and it was not quite easy for that reason to get 

 perfect specimens. 



A day spent on An Teallach was toilsome, and not pro- 

 ductive, the season being backward and the ground barren. 

 Zycopodium annotinum was gathered, and Ardostaphylos 

 alpina was rather frequent on the lower shoulders of the 

 hill. Lycojjodium cdpinum, var. decijJiens, Juncus trifidus, 

 Carex rigida, Armeria, Bhodiola, Luzula spicata, Loisc- 

 leitria, Cornus suecica, Ruhus Chaincemorus, and Vacciniuin 

 uliginosum (the latter in flower) were noticed. 



A day was spent in walking to Ehidorroch by Loch 

 Achall, but the only addition made to the flora was 

 Sagina suhidata, which occurred in the path near the 

 shooting lodge. Hnhernaria albida, IT. viridis, H. conopsea, 

 H. Mfolia, Orchis incarnata, Listera cordata, Melica nutans, 

 and Carex pallescens were seen. 



Another day or two was spent at Strome, where, 

 between the station and Plockton, Corydalis daviculata, 

 Ruhus rhammfolius, Myosotis rcpens, Hypericum Androsm- 

 ■mum, and Oxyria were noted, but the intense heat made 

 botanising a toil. The results of this visit were rather 

 meagre, five additional species and five confirmatory records
