NOTES ON NORTH UIST PLANTS, &c. 
By W. A. SHootsrep, M.R.C.S. 
Tae following notes are the result of a short visit to North Uist 
in July, 1898. As I was able to explore some parts of the island 
which were left untouched during my former visit, in 1894, I can 
now add several plants to the list of those mentioned as observed 
in that particular island in my paper on the Outer Hebrides which 
appeared in this Journal in August, 1895. There are also one or 
two new records for v.-c. 110, which are marked by an asterisk. 
I have to thank Mr. Arthur Bennett, Mr. Beeby, Mr. E. G. Baker, 
the Revs. E. F. Linton and E. 8. Marshall for kind help with some 
of the more critical forms. 
Ranunculus Baudotii Godr. var. marinus (Arrh. & Fr.). Bale- 
share. — R. sceleratus L. N ommon on west coast. — Lf. acris 
L., var. ome curious and interesting forms of a Ranunculus 
grow on the sandy pastures and sand-hills on the north and west 
coasts which Mr. E. G. Baker considers are probably forms or 
varieties of R. borealis Trauty. é 
Caltha palustris var. Guerangerii (Bor.). _Not uncommon on the 
west side of the island. (Recorded for N. Uist from my 1894 
specimens by Mr. Arthur Bennett in Ann. Scott. Nat. Hist. 1895, 
p. 241.) 
Fumaria officinalis L. Tigharri, & 
Vv 
t. — V. Curtisit Forster. Sandy meadows, Balelone, Tigharri, 
&c. — V. lutea Huds. The beautiful large-flowered form, or rather 
state of this, common on the west coast of Benbecula, grows In 
Seed from the yellow form has germinated and grown 
freely. In cultivation it reverts to what appears to be an ordinary 
form of V. lutea. Only one or two seeds of the intermediate germi- 
nated, and subsequently died off, 
Lychnis alba Mill. Not uncommon on the borders of fields and 
arm 
Balelone, where it was again seen. Perhaps introduced with grass 
or other seed.—L. Githago Lam, oast, Hougarry Bay.
