CORRECTIONS IN THE SHETLAND FLORA. 851 
8. Salix cinerea and S. aurita, Loch of Cliff, Unst.—Leaves only. 
Slightly different, but both perhaps belonging to S. aurita. 
9. Festuca ?, Walls, Buness, Unst.— Probably F. ovina. Two 
specimens, one of them having pubescent glumes 
. Arrhenatherum avenaceum, Burrafirth.— Certainly Avena pubescens, 
which is not in the printed list. 
. Equisetum fluviatile, Burrafirth.—Certainly E. palustre. But Æ. 
limosum (that is, the unbranched state of Æ. fluviatile, L.), is also 
in the collection, rightly named, and is enumerated in the printed 
list, as well as Æ. palustre. 
[Having, with the help of the Rev. W. W. Newbould, examined the 
plants mentioned by Mr. Watson, in the set communicated by Mr. 
Tate to the herbarium of the British Museum, we find that, at least in 
some cases, different plants must have been sent to Mr. Watson from 
those deposited in the Museum. The following is the result of our 
examination :— ` 
l. Ranunculus repens, Bressa; 2. Viola Riviniana, Buness, Unst ; 
and ll. Zquisetum fluviatile, Burrafirth, are the correct names of the 
specimens in the Museum. 
3. Cerastium viscosum.—The plant from Burravoe is not in the 
Museum ; that from Haroldswick is C. glomeratum ; and C. triviale, 
Lerwick, is rd named. ‘There is another specimen of C. triviale 
from Skaa, Uns 
4. Rosa canina. ithe Museum specimen is certainly different from 
Mr. Watson’s, and there seems no reason why it may not be this 
species. 
5. Gnaphalium norvegicum, Burrafirth.—Mr. Watson’s correction 
applies to the Museum specimen. 
6. Hieracium crocatum is not in the Museum. 
7. Neither of the plants from Haroldswick are in the Museum. 
There is a specimen named Myosotis collina from Buness which may be 
M. versicolor. 
9. A Festuca from Buness is rightly named in Mr. Tate’s label 
F. ovina. 
10. The Museum specimen, like Mr. Watson’s, is Avena pubescens.
