sparsely hairy, the lower triangular-ovate, the pepe npn 
Lowest fertile gl. elliptical when flattened, 9 mm. including t 
weaker awn (scarcely $m m.), hairy at the base and saiebash inte 
n the r margin; pale barely 5 mm. long, sparsely pilose 
ocpemans below the sides, sharply infolded at the strong scabri- 
ulous veins; anthers linear pale brown, a good 1-5 mm. 
Second fertile gl. scarcely shorter, incompletely 7-nerved ; third 
fertile gl. 7 mm. long, 5-nerved; uppermost gl. smaller, including 
only a flower- rudiment. 
An interesting addition to a monotypic genus. Distinguished 
from U. pusilla Nees by its larger spike and spikelets, the latter 
being also fewer-flowered, the larger glumes, and the longer less 
rigid awns.

SOME PLANTS OF EAST SCOTLAND. 
By Rev. E. S. Marsuatu, M.A., F.L.8., & W. A. SuHoorprep, M.R.C.S. 
N was our headquarters last summer, the materials for this 
paper hekne me: by one or both of us between July 26th and 
Arthur Bennett, E. G. Baker, H. and J. Groves, Kiikenthal, E. F. 
and W. R. Linton, and W. Moyle Rogers for help with critical 
forms. The Watsonian vice-counties dealt with are—95, Elgin; 
96, E. Inverness with Nairn; 106, E. Ross (one short excursion). 
Ranunculus Drouetii Godr. 96. In a little pool not far from the 
sea, about a mile HE. of Nairn; habit quite typical, but carpels 
almost alainds s.—R. Baudotii Godr. 95. A small form is plentiful 
in Loch Spynie, near Elgin.—R. scoticus KE. 8. Marshall (‘* R. petio- 
laris’’). 96. Stony shore of Loch Alvie, near Aviemore; new to 
E. Scotland, we believe. PDP acris L. var. There occurs sparingly 
at 3500 ft. in Corrie-an-Loch n, Braeriach—a most ee 
r 
eaves of an unusual shape and cutting, whic r. Baker was 
inclined to name R. borealis Trautvetter; it may perhaps be identical 
with d. pumilus Wahlb. of Lond. Cat. ed. 9, which we do not know. 
Caltha radicans Forster, var. zetlandica at 6. Stony shore 
of L. Alvie; certainly inseparable from the cultivated Shetland 
ary in Herb. Brit. Mus. In Sowerby’s garden specimen of Don’s 
ginal C. radicans the leaf-serrations vary considerably, ranging 
teeth acutely dentate to obscurely crenate. e have noticed that 
in C. anita is var. minor Syme the prostrate stems are occasionally
