SHORT NOTES 47 
The following are a few new records for Scottish vice-counties :— 
Silene fimbriata, Sims, from the south bank of the Crinan Canal, 
Argyllshire, at Auchendarroch Lodge : evidently an outcast. 
Piptatherum multiflorum, Beauv., from near Musselburgh, the first 
record of this grass from Britain. 
LEpilobium nummularifolium, R. Cunn., in plenty on garden walls 
at Ardrishaig, Argyllshire : an escape. 
Juncus tenuis, Willd., west of West Linton, Peeblesshire. 
James M‘ANDREW. 
Potamogeton prelongus, Wulf.,in Orkney. In September rgrr Mr. 
M. Spence of Durness sent me a specimen of the above species from 
a loch where it grew with P. perfoliatus, L., and P. filiformis, Nolte. 
It occurs in Shetland!, Caithness!, and Sutherland!. It is also a 
Faroen species, but is not included in Stefansson’s ‘‘ Flora Islands,” 
Igol. 
It is not recorded from Greenland, but occurs at 70° N. lat. at 
the mouth of the Yenisei (Scheutz., 1888), and nearly as far north 
in Norway, Alten, 69° 56’ (Norman). ARTHUR BENNETT. 
Juncus alpinus, Vill., in Kirkcudbright. Mr. G. West records! 
this species from the drier parts of some of the sandy bays of Loch 
Grennoch by Cairnsmore of Fleet. 
It is there associated with ‘“‘a dwarf form of Scirpus palustris 
about 4 inches high, with short, stout, very scaly rhizomes and few 
flowering stems.” 
This loch “is a fine sheet of water 2 miles long by # mile wide, 
at an elevation of 690 feet above sea-level.” 
This makes eleven Scottish vice-counties in which this species is 
recorded, and it will eventually, I think, be found in others, especially 
in Orkney and the Outer Hebrides. 
I quite expect to hear of its occurrence in England on the north- 
west coast, where Sagina nodosa, L., var. montliformis, Meyer,” was 
detected this year by Dr. Graebner, and specimens of which Mr. 
Travis has kindly sent me. This variety occurs on the Friesien 
Islands, and Bornholm in Denmark, where it grows associated with 
Juncus alpinus. 
The /uncus is on record for Glamorgan (Dr. Vachell sp.) only, 
outside Scotland, in the British Isles. 
Dr. Buchenau combines under alpinus: /. alpestris, Hartm. ; 
J. atratus, Fries; /. fusco-ater, Schreb. ; /. ustudatus, Hoppe ; and 
J. nodulosus, Whibg. ARTHUR BENNETT.
