FLORA OF ARRAN. 



Trichomanes radicans, 



Hymenophyllum Tunbridg- 

 ense, 



Wflsoni, 



Has recently been discovered 

 in moist cliffs near Corrie. 

 It is in very small quan- 

 tity, and will be extirpated 

 if the visitors who are for- 

 tunate enough to find it 

 do not exercise consider- 

 able self-control. 



On sheltered rocks in several 

 places, as in a plantation 

 near Invercloy, in the 

 wood at Brodick Castle; 

 near Corrie; at Fallen 

 Rocks; and at the entrance 

 of GlenEais-dale, Whiting 

 Bay. It is remarkable 

 that, in all these localities, 

 it is found growing upon 

 the old sea-cliff; as is also 

 the case where it occurs 

 atDunoon, Holy Loch, the 

 Kyles of Bute, and the 

 shores of Loch-Lomond 

 at Tarbet. 



Abundant in many spots, as 

 near Corrie; sea coast at 

 Sannox; Glen Cloy; Ben- 

 leister Glen; Birk Glen, 

 above Invercloy, often 

 growing with the last-men- 

 tioned species, but also as- 

 cending to the tops of the 

 highest mountains, where, 

 as on Ben-Ghnuis, it covers 

 the most exposed rocks at 

 a height of 2500 feet, and 

 is with difficulty distin- 

 guished from a moss. In 

 general it prefers damper 

 spots than H. Tur^ 

 bridgense, and stands ex- 

 posure much better.
