The var. zosterifolius, Fries, in ; - Bot. Xotiser" (1840), 

 p. 35, " foliis longissimis linearibus natantibus | fran Gland 

 Sjostrand) ar en markvardig med Al. Plantago gramvni- 

 folium analog form." 



Mr. West gathered this in Loch Corsock in S.E. Kirkcud- 

 bright, where " it flowered under water at a depth of 3 feet : 

 without the flower-stalk these submerged forms look ex- 

 tremely like Isoetes lacustris." The Rev. E. S. Marshall 1 

 gathered it from " peat-holes above the Beauly river, E. 

 Inverness, 1892.'' 



Mr. West found the '/. terrea&re at Loch Leven 1| inches 

 high." 



11. A. parna88ifolia, Bassi (Galdesia, Parlatore) has 

 lately been found in Bavaria." 2 but I suppose we can hardly 

 expect it in our isles. It has deeply cordate leaves, and only 

 6 to 9 carpels. 



12. Alls iw j natans, L. — Are there any Scottish specimens 

 of this species in herbaria ? I have been unable to see one, 

 but Hooker and Arnott 3 give " Black Loch, 6 miles from 

 Stranraer," Wigtown : and in the 2nd ed. of "Topi. Botany. 

 "Ayr. Duncan cat." is added. Mr. Scott-Elliot 4 does not 

 notice the species at p. 16-t, though he gives all Wigtown 

 species. That it is often misnamed is certain, as for some 

 years Ireland was credited with it, but it has been found to 

 be a submerged state of A. ranvmculoides. It is certainly 

 to be found in seven Welsh counties, and in two English ( Le. 

 Salop ! and Chester !), and perhaps in two others (York and 

 Cumberland). Dr. Gliick divides this into /. typica, Asch. 

 et Graeb. : /*. sparganifolius, Fries: / repems, Asch. et 

 Graeb. ; and/. teiTestre, Gliick. 



13. Sagittaria sagittifolia, L. — Gluck divides this into 

 /. tyjrica, Klinge; /. natans, Klinge; / terrestris, Bolle ; and 

 /. vallisnerifolia, Coss. et Germain. 



Why is Sagittaria so rare in Scotland? Two counties 

 only are given, and Messrs. Kidston and Stirling added 

 Stirling-. Yet in Scandinavia it occurs from S. Sweden
