pasture, 80 feet above sea-level, Sheepheight, Papa Westray, 

 9th September 1913, H. H. Johnston. A weed of cultiva- 

 tion, and it is probable that this species is not a true 

 native in Orkney. 



Utricularia minor, Linn. — Harray, Mainland, 18th 

 August 1879, H. H. Johnston (fide J. T. I. B. Boswell ; see 

 Watson, "Top. Bot.," ed. ii., p. 333; and "Scot. Nat.," 

 No. xlviii., October 1882, p. 374); and shallow pool in a 

 swamp 160 feet above sea-level, at the foot of the north- 

 north-west slope of Cringla Fiold, just on the Sandwich 

 side of the boundary between the parishes of Sandwick 

 and Stromness, Mainland, 26th August 1912, H. H. John- 

 ston (name confirmed by Mr. Arthur Bennett ; see " Bot. 

 Exch. Club Report," 1912, p. 273). Native at both these 

 stations. 



Atriplex patula, Linn., var. angustifolia (Sm.), (fide 

 Arthur Bennett). — Stony ground near top of cliffs at the 

 seashore, 80 feet above sea-level, Vaval, Westray, 21st 

 August 1913, H. H. Johnston. Native. Remarks by 

 Mr. Arthur Bennett : — " Atriplex is a very difficult genus 

 to name, but I think your specimens may be named 

 A. patula, Linn., f. maritima ; the cusps of the leaves 

 are badly developed, but what there is are evidentl} T 

 straight, not descending as in A. hastata, Linn., and 

 A. deltoidea, Bab." 



Juniperus sibirica, Burgsdorf ( = J. nana, Willd.). — 

 This species is common in the island of Hoy, but it is very 

 rare in Mainland, where I have seen and collected specimens 

 from three plants only growing at three different stations, 

 viz. heath, 15 feet above sea-level, between Barnorie and 

 the Fidge, Swanbister, Orphir, 17th December 1883, H. H. 

 Johnston (fide J. T. I. B. Boswell; discovered on the 

 above-mentioned date by Mr. W. A. Irvine Fortescue) ; 

 heathery hillside, 320 feet above sea-level, Erne Toog, 

 Stromness, 29th October 1913, H. H. Johnston ; and heathery 

 hillside, 400 feet above sea-level, Hill of Lynedardy, Strom- 

 ness, 29th October 1913, H. H. Johnston. Native at all 

 these stations. The plant on the Hill of Lynedardy was in 

 fruit, but there were neither flowers nor fruit on the plants 

 at the other two stations. The late Mrs. Isabella Hiddleston 

 of Houton informed me that the Juniper formerly grew at
