Hill, Unst, Shetland, by the late Mr. Beeby, in the Scottish 

 Naturalist, new series, iii (18(S7), p. 27. It is only 2-50 cm. 

 high, with leaves 5 mm. x 3 mm. As Mr. Beeby notes, it 

 (juite simulates the growth and aspect of Salix herbacea, 

 Linn. Even on Glywdr-Fawr, Snowdon, at 3270 feet, 

 V. Myrtillus is 14 cm. high, and on Glywdr-Fach at 3250 

 feet it is 15 cm. high ; both gathered b}^ the late Mr. C. B. 

 Clarke ! In the Faroes it occurs amongst moss on the 

 highest plateaus of the low hills (Ostenfeld in Botany of 

 the Faroes (1901), p. 57, and iig. 23a ; Bot. Tidssk., xx (1896), 

 p. 150, and tig. 2a). Mr. Beeby gathered an analogous 

 form of V. uliginosum on Saxa Vord Hill with leaves 

 7 mm. X 4 mm., that differs much from an Orkney one 

 (Birsay, J. Spence sp.), which has leaves 13 mm. x 12 mm. 

 (f. rotundata), the typical Orkney plant having them 

 17 mm. x 8 mm.
