PLANT NOTES FROM SUTHERLAND AND CANTIRE. 
By C. E. Saumon. 
Ar the end of July, 1899, I was enabled to spend a few days in 
Sutherland, botanizing chiefly amongst the hills in the western 
vice-county near Inchnadamph, a small village in as wild a tract of 
country as is orf in Great Britain, I believe. A halt for a few 
hours at Lairg, on the way, gave the opportunity to add one or two 
plants to the Host Sutherland list, _ there was no time to do more.

exploring ; it was interesting to see poses arcuata still plentiful in 
one compact patch on the way to the summit, where it was record 
need yearsago. There is no doubt haste ‘that the four localities 
n Watson’s New Botanist’s Guide (1885) are all one and the same 
ines Canisp, unfortunately, had to be taken on a very unfavourable 
day, clouds of mist and rain frequently sweeping over the mountain, 
and leaving one ‘with views limited to but six or eight feet! On 
some of the walks round Inchnadamph I had the advantage of the 
company of H. N. Dixon, W: E.N — — my brother, who 
recorded i in Leb works up to the present time, this species was 
set down as occurring in North Knapdale (Gantire) (by the Rev. 
Macleshian):i ina hook I accidentally came across whil st in Cantire,
