NOTES ON HIGHLAND PLANTS. 



By the Bev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S. 



I spent a month at the end of last summer (Aug. 19 to Sept. 19) 

 in various Highland districts, and append such botanical results of 

 my visit as seem to be of any interest. The season was too far 

 advanced for some groups of plants, and the superabundance of 

 rainy days prevented or greatly interfered with several intended 

 expeditions. 



The places visited were Lawers, Mid-Perth (88); Loch Awe. 

 Argyll (98) — merely a stroll of an hour or so, near the station ; 

 Fort William, Westerness (97); Altnaharra, Durness, and Inch- 

 nadamph, W. Sutherland (108), with a few hoars on the E. side of 

 Ben Klibreck, E. Sutherland (107) ; and Blair Athole, Mid- and 

 E. Perth (88, 89). 



In my opinion the hills around Glen Nevis (97), and the neigh- 

 bourhood of Inchnadamph (108), with its varied soil and elevation, 

 will well repay careful search. Ben Klibreck (107, 108) is a rather 

 disappointing mountain; but the corrie on the S.E. (below the 

 ' l Craig-an-lochan"), which the mist prevented me from working, 

 looked much better than the rest. There are some good Hieracia of 

 the Accipitrine group about Altnaharra, of which I was too late to 

 gather more than scraps .
