 To those who seek for interesting observations on the forms 

 of A. ciliata, L., I would refer them to Mr Baker's article 

 " On the varieties of Arenaria ciliata " in " The Naturalist," 

 which, like all that comes from his pen, is thoroughly- 

 well done. 



I am glad to be able to send a specimen for the

Notes on the Becords of Scottish Plants during 1889. By 

 Akthue Bennett, F.L.S., &c. 



(Read May 8, 1890.) 



In again noticing briefly the work that has been done in 

 Scotland among flowering plants, I have to record a few 

 new forms. In Shetland Mr Beeby has found Bumex pro- 

 pinquus, Aresch. (a probable hybrid between B. crispus and 

 B. domesticus). It has occurred in Sweden, and will 

 probably be found over the range of its two supposed parents. 

 Polygonum viviparum, var. alpinum, Wahl. f., is also another 

 of Mr Beeby's gatherings (and a very pretty form of the 

 species) ; also two forms of Bosa canina, Hicraciuni Schmidtii, 

 Tausch., Hifpochmris radicata, Oxyria reniformis, and Populus 

 tremula — a Potamogeton that is closely allied to P. Wolf- 

 gangii, Kihlman ; but this has been previously named P. 

 gracilis by Wolfgang. The Orkneys have only yielded one 

 addition, Potamogeton Jlabcllatus, Bab. From Caithness, 

 Suhularia aquatica (J. Henderson), Lathyrus sylvestris (W. E. 

 Linton), Carex paludosa (W. F. Miller) — this extends the 

 range of this species in Scotland fifty miles to the north ; 

 with four others. 



The Outer Hebrides have had added to them nine species, 

 with two species confirmed, Fquisctum pratense and E. 

 arenarium (W. S. Duncan) being the most interesting. W. 

 Sutherland has produced fourteen or fifteen. Two of these
