C. arcticum, var. Edmondstonii. To be 

 found on loose slopes near Baltasound : 

 very variable in frequency.

C. longirostre. Grassy places among rocks 

 by the coast at Ollaberry. (Beeby.) 



4. Stellaria media (Chickweed). Common. 



5. graminea (Grass - leaved Stitchwort). 

 Abundant. (Edmondston.) 



S. uliginosa (Bog Stitchwort). Common

5. Arenaria norvegica (Norwegian Sand-

 loose gravel of a serpentine hill immediately 

 to the north and north-east of Baltasound. 

 Of this Edmondston said : " This is a very 

 rare and little known plant, frequently 

 confounded with A. ciliata. Except one 

 specimen in Sir W. J. Hooker's her- 

 barium, from Iceland, I have seen none 

 which precisely agrees with the Shetland 

 plant."
