1887-88.] Additions to the Scottish Flora.

Finally, I will give the approximate number of the addi- 

 tion" to the various counties from south to north : — 



In England, Vaccinimii inteT7nediii7n of Rothe has been 

 gathered in Staffordshire by Prof. Bonny and others ; it is 

 supposed to be a hybrid between V. Myi^tillus and V. Vitis- 

 Idma. This should be looked for in Scotland, where the two 

 species gTow together. It is very rare m Europe, occurring 

 hitherto in Germany only. 



Under Caithness, I should have mentioned that Mr Grant 

 and Mr Hanbury found Calamagrostis strigosa in a second 

 station, i.e., around Loch Watten. This is very satisfactory, 

 as although the plant is fairly plentiful at the ground 

 formerly covered by Loch Duran, we never know how soon 

 agricultural improvements may sweep away a rare species in 

 a single locality only. 



I need hardly say how greatly I should esteem any addi- 

 tions to county lists, that I may pass over from want of 

 knowledge, my only aim being to help on, however little, 

 the facts connected with the Scottish flora and its distri- 

 bution.
