100 BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH [Sess. lxxvi. 



July this sedge occurred in great plenty by the roadside 

 about half-way between Lix and the summit of the pass. 

 For about a quarter of a mile it formed a close band along 

 the left side of the road. For about another half mile I 

 traced it in patches and isolated plants. It seemed as if 

 carts loaded with American fodder had been passing along 

 the road dropping seeds at first thickly and then more 

 thinly. Certainly the plant is not native in any of the 

 Perthshire stations in which it has been found.
