Saracenicus, L. Near Kiloran. 



Near the spot where this plant is 

 found is said to have existed a house in 

 which the celebrated chief, Col. Keitoch, 

 lived, and prior to his time a community 

 of monks resided near the same spot, 

 and it is most likely to them it owes its 

 introduction to Colonsay. 



Inula Helenium, L. 



This plant is evidently introduced, 

 and was originally only to be found at 

 one place in Colonsay, viz. , in Ardskinish 

 Glen. As we believed it indicated that 

 at one time it had been planted where 

 it grows, possibly by some monk, we 

 carefully examined the spot, and, though 

 almost no trace of any buildings were 

 left, we found that at one time there 

 was at this place a " Mullan Dubh," or 

 Black Mill, and that in a field, only a 

 few yards off, had been a burying ground, 

 attached to which would be a chapel, 

 and probably one or more cells. It is 

 interesting to find a plant thus giving a 

 clue to matters of antiquarian interest, 

 and recalling to memory the presence of 

 holy men at a place where their existence 

 had been long forgotten.

There are also several other varieties 

 of Ilieracii, but as we were imable to 

 identify them with certainty, we have 

 thought it better not to note them at 

 present.

 the beach.
