on record. For its existence in the "West Highland pro- 

 vince I have no positive testimony to adduce ; but the 

 species being designated " frequent " in the Flora Glot- 

 tiana, the county of Dumbarton would appear very pro- 

 bable. I am aware of only tln-ee localities on record for 

 this Carex to the northward of Edinburgh and Glasgow ; 

 and hence its assignment to the English tj-pe, notwith- 

 standing the one far northern locality " near Birkenbog, 

 Banffsliire," on authority of Eev. George WUson, in Coll. 

 Mor. It is that one locality only which causes the 

 species to be given above as attaining to the supera- 

 grarian zone. 



Carex HORDEiFORivns, Wahl. 



Area [15]. 



Incognit. Said to have been found by Mr. Thomas 

 Drummond, in a " small valley about three miles west 

 of Panmuir," otherwise worded " in a den near Pan- 

 mure, about nine miles south-east of Forfar." In Gar- 

 diner's Flora of Forfarshu-e, we are told that very close 

 search was made for this plant one day in June, 1846, 

 without success, " Every little hollow, nook, and crannie, 

 in the direction indicated, was carefully examined," &c.
