On the Locality of Cystopteris moniana. 

 By William Borrer, Esq., F.R.S. 



T HAVE observed the notice respecting Cystopteris montana on the 

 wrapper of the ' Phytologist' for November last. I had the pleasure 

 of gathering the plant in August last, in Breadalbane, not in Mr. 

 Wilson's place in Ben Lawers, which has not, I believe, been redis- 

 covered, but in the range of mountains between Glen Dochart and 

 Glen Lochay, where Messrs, Gourlie and Adamson found it in 1841. 

 From those gentlemen Dr. Arnott obtained a direction to the spot, 

 and kindly accompanied me thither. The station is recorded in the 

 sixth edition of the ' British Flora' under the name of Corrach Uach- 

 dar, but a native of the neighbourhood called the mountains Meal 

 Oufillach, and the ravine Corrach Dh' Oufillach, as nearly as I could 

 express his pronunciation. He could not spell the words. 



I had the satisfaction also of ascertaining that Menziesia caerulea 

 still exists in Drumochter (or Drum Uachdar), on the confines of 

 Atholl and Badenoch, where I saw several tufts of it among the heath 

 and cranberry.
