150 FIRST RECORDS OF BRITISH FLOWERING PLANTS. 



aquatilis Wahl., var. elatior Bab. Man. ed. 1 (fide Mr. Ar. Bennett) 

 = var- Watsoni Syrue. Glen Lyon (7 m.). — C. flava x fidva (G. 

 xanthocarpa Degl.). By R. Dochart, two miles from Killin ; 

 Meall Ghaordie ; Glen Lyon (2 m.). — G. piilla Good., and C. 

 rostrata Stokes, mountain form. Cam Mairg range. 



Agrostis alba L., var. maritima Mey. By R. Dochart, Killin. 



Deschampsia ccespitosa Beau v., var. brevifolia Parn. Near Cam 

 Mairg. — D. flexuosa Trin., var. montana Huds. Near summit of 

 Cam Mairg. 



Avena strigosa Scbreb. In a field of oats, near the Linn of 

 Campsie. 



Melica nutans L. Seen in one spot in the watershed N. of 

 Ben Lawers, at a rocky break in a burn. 



Poa alpina L. Watershed N. of Meall Garbh. 



Festuca rubra L. Large form in a meadow, Killin. 



Woodsia hyperborea R. Br. Besides three stations already 

 known, we detected this fern in Coire Ardran, for which we 

 believe it was not known. 



Cystopteris montana Bernh. In a high corrie, N. of Meall Garbh. 



Polystichum Lonchitis Roth. Near Carn Mairg. 



Equisetiim sylvaticum L., form capillare Hoffm. Near Fortingal. 

 E. variegatum Schleich. A small mountain form of this had 

 been observed by one of us as long ago as 1882, on Craig Caillich ; 

 this we found again on another part of the same craig ; also in wet 

 springy places below the precipices of Cam Chreag ; and again, on 

 a mountain side near Fortingal, N. of the Lyon. Near the last 

 locality was a group of Lycopodia, viz., L. selago L., L. annotinum 

 L., L. clavatum L., and L. alpinum L. 



On the whole, Carn Mairg and the group of mountains near it 

 just north of Glen Lyon are very barren, and were it not for the 

 discovery of Car ex ustulata in this district, we should have felt the 

 results to be thoroughly disappointing. The same may be said of 

 the two corries on the northern side of Meall Garbh, which gave 

 but little return for a very long day's tramp. The slopes are too 

 gradual for alpine plants ; for, while the pasture appeared 

 magnificent for producing fodder, the gentle fall of the ground 

 afforded little hold for hawkweed, willow or sedge, even along the 

 course of the burns.
