24 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [Sess. lxxvi. 



" J. uliginosus var. c. comosus. Capit. nombreux formes 

 de feuill. selacees en toufFe seriees." x 



Specimen from " pools near the Deveron, Banff, L. Watt 

 sp.," is, I suppose, very near pygmceus, but it is 3 inches 

 high, with setaceous stems and leaves and 2 fl. heads. 



It seems now we are to accept " J. bulbosus, L., ' Sp. PI.,' 

 1st ed., 327, 1753; Juncus foliis linearibus caniculatis, 

 capsulis obtusis, ' Fl. Suec.,' 284," as the name for supinus. 



8. Scirpus fiuitans, L. — A remarkable form of this species 

 was found by the Scottish Alpine Club in Lochan Bhe, near 

 Tyndrum (822 feet alt.), 1891. A. H. Evans sp. I have 

 seen nothing so slender as this. I do not know what is the 

 result of growing it at the Edinburgh Botanic Garden, but 

 T think there is no doubt it is a form of S. fiuitans, though 

 the name has several times been challenged. Notices will 

 be found in the " Edin. Bot. Soc. Trans." for 1891, 1894, 

 1895, and 1903, p. 318. 



We now come to a series of aquatics which Dr. Gllick has 

 treated. 2 



He here treats the plants under their growth and 

 evolution. 



9. Alisma Plantago, L. — He divides into two varieties — 

 latifolium, Kunth, and lanceolatum, Schultz ; again divid- 

 ing these into two forms each — aquaticum, Gliick, and 

 terrestre, Gliick. 



The var. graminifolius, Wahlb., he gives as a species 

 A. graminifolium, Ehrh., dividing it into four forms : 

 angustissimum, Asch. et Graeb. ; typicum, Beck-Managetta; 

 terrestre, Gliick ; and pumilum, Nolte. 



10. A. ranunculoides he places under Echinodorus, 

 dividing it into five forms : typica, Gliick ; nutans, Gliick ; 

 zoster if olius, Fries ; terrestre, Gliick ; and pumilus, Gliick. 

 He then takes the var. repens (Lam.) and divides that into 

 four forms. 



No doubt many of these phases of plants may be found 

 among Scottish specimens. I have A. graminifolium from 

 Perth, Dr. B. White sp. ; and Mr. West found it in Loch 

 Gelly, Fife, as the /. typica.
