of ancient trees are to be seen in many of the peat bogs. 

 Lijihtfoot recorded it from Loch Aiaree in the " Flora Scotica," 

 where it still occurs. This tree probably supplied the 

 ancient iron-works with fuel. 



Malaxis paludosa, Sw. — See " Topographical Botany " 

 without personal authority. In Glen Docharty growing 

 with Hijimiim revolvcns, rather common on the shores of 

 Loch Maree. 



CoKALLOKHiZA INN ATA, Br. — " In a moist, hanging wood, 

 on the south side, near the head of Little Loch Broom." 

 (Lightfoot in "Flora Scotica," p. 52o). 



LiSTERA coed ATA, Br. — About Little Loch Broom (Light- 

 foot). I saw this by Loch Maree and on the limestone 

 near Ullapool, and near Dundonnell in Lightfoot's locality ; 

 "also at Ehidorroch. Pcramlum appears to be the older 

 generic name. 



* L. OVATA, Br. — Not common, and only noticed on 

 limestone, as at Ullapool, Applecross, Kishorn, and Cnochan. 



GoODYERA REPENS, Br. — Kecorded by Lightfoot as 

 " Satyrium repens, growing amongst the Hypna, in an old, 

 shady, moist, hanging birch wood, called Ca-bue or Yellow- 

 hill, facing the house of Mr. Mackenzie, of Dundonald, 

 about two miles from the head of Little Loch Broom." 



Cephalanthera ensifolia, Rich. — Dixon in his list of 

 Gairloch plants states that Dr. Mackenzie, writing of the 

 first quarter of the century, says " the braes and wooded 

 hillocks of Gairloch were a perfect jungle of every kind of 

 loveable shrub and wild flower . . . some of the Epi]3actis 

 tribe being everywhere a lovely drug." " The Epi2Kictis 

 ensifolia^' says Dixon, " formerly abundant, is now almost 

 unknown. In June 1883 I discovered one plant on a 

 stony bank by water. In 1885 two plants were at the 

 same place."
