Breadalbane mountains, liev. Dr Stuart. Near the upper end of the 

 burn of Fionlarig. Fl. July, Aug. Tj . — I regret that, often as I have 

 visited the Breadalbane mountains, I have not been able to distinguish 

 S. Stuartiana from the preceding. ]SIr Borrer says, " the leaves are 

 sharp at each end, grey with hairs above, even when full grown." So 

 are many of my acknowledged specimens of S. urenaria. It was named 

 in compliment to one of the best men and most learned scholars that 

 Scotland has produced; the late Rev. Dr Stuart of Luss.
