liis manuscript " Flora Orcadensis " (1858). Removes the 

 "(?)" from "111(:')" under Silene Cucubalus, Wibel, in 

 "Annals Scot. Nat. Hist.," No. 26, p. 100 (April 1898). 

 See " Annals Scot. Nat. Hist.," No. 56, p. 229 (October 

 1905) ; and Spence, " Flora Orcadensis," p. 9 (1914), where 

 the plant " Found on farm of Keigar, Deerness, in 1904 ; 

 introduced with seeds," is Silene dichotoma, Ehrh. (fide 

 Arthur Bennett), which has been confounded with Silene 

 cucuhcdus, Wibel, by the late Mr. Magnus Spence. 



Sagina nodosa, FenzL, var. b. glandulosa (Bess.) 

 (Jide C. E. Salmon). — j\Ieadow at Scapa, Saint Ola, Main- 

 land, 25th July 1876, H. H. Johnston; damp loch-shore. 

 Groundwater, Loch of Kirbister, Orphir, Mainland, 9th 

 August 1878, H. H. Johnston; marsh, 20 feet above sea- 

 level. Loch of Saintear, Westray, 23rd August 1918, 

 H. H. Johnston ; marshy burnside, 20 feet above sea- 

 level, Selwick, Hoy, 8th September 1914, H. H. Johnston ; 

 and marsh, 60 feet above sea-level, Graemston, South 

 Ronaldsay, 6th September 1921, H. H. Johnston. Native, 

 rare, and plants in flower at all these five stations. Petals 

 white, entire. This variety is more common in Orkney than 

 the type of the species, of which latter I have specimens 

 only from North Ronaldsay, collected by me on 20th and 

 23rd August 1920, and even in these specimens a few 

 glands are present. Confirms the record for this variety 

 from Orkney in Spence, "Flora Orcadensis," p. 12 (1914). 



Rosa omissa, Desegl., %-ar. h. resinosoides, Crepin. {fide 

 William Barclay). — Grassy banks at burnside, 100 feet 

 above sea-level, Trumland Burn, Rousay, 25th August 

 1921, H. H. Johnston (plants in unripe fruit); and 7th 

 November 1921, John Logic (plants in ripe fruit). Native. 

 Rare. With reference to my specimens, Mr. William 

 Barclay, in a note dated 6th March 1922, writes as 

 follows : — " The variety is hardly separable from the type 

 except by its longer peduncles." A ncAV record for this 

 variety for H. C Watson's county No. Ill Orkney. This 

 plant is probably the same as the " Rosa villosa, Apple-rose, 

 Trumbland, Rousay," recorded by Mr. Patrick Neill in his 

 " Tour," p. 187 (1806); in Dr. A. R. Duguid's manuscript 

 "Flora Orcadensis" (1858); and in " Journ. Bot.," No. xiii, 

 p. 14 (1864).
