NOTES ON HIGHLAND PLANTS. 151 



on the limestone cliffs, far from houses. I did not notice it in 



cultivation. 



Trifolium pratense L. A beautiful form, with roundish, compact 

 heads of very dark purple flowers, grows beside the Traligill at 

 Inchnadamph ; probably it comes under b. sylvestre Syme. — T. 

 hybndum L., b. elegans (Savi), was plentiful as an escape near 

 Lawers, and occurred between Blair Athole and Killiecrankie (88). 



AnthyUis Vidneraria L., b. Dillenii Schultz, should have been 

 recorded from the cliffs west of Melvich (108) in last year's paper. 



Eosa mollis Sm. Lawers and Blair Athole (88) ; Inchnadamph 

 ( 108). — R. tomentosa Sm., b. subylobosa (Sm.). Common near 

 Lawers ; a very handsome bush when in ripe fruit- — & canina L., 

 e. dumalis Bechst. Lawers. — w. subcristata Baker. Near Blair 

 Athole (88). 



Saxifraga stellaris L. Descends to sea-level at the Smoo Cave, 



Durness.— 5. sponhemica Gmel. Stob Ban, 2500 ft. 



* Sedum Rhodiola DC. Central corrie of Ben Klibreek (107). 



Callitriche hamulata Kuetz. [fide Ar. Bennett). Lochan-na-Chait, 



Ben Lawers. Lochan below Stob Ban, at about 2200 ft. ; a very 

 slender state. 



Epilobium obscurum Schreb. Roadside near Skaig Bridge, Loch 

 Assynt (108). Named by Dr. Lange, "#. virgatum Fr."; but Mr. 

 Beeby pointed out that this is "nornen erroneum," and his opinion 

 is confirmed by Prof. Haussknecht. — + A very curious plant was 

 found growing in some quantity by a rill above the path from 

 Inchnadamph to Ben More of Assynt, at about 1600 ft. Dr. Lange 

 suggested : " Forsan hybridum ex A/, alpino et h\ montano, vel E. 

 collino Gmel." I did not fancy it to be a hybrid, not having 

 observed either of the supposed parents ; but Dr. Haussknecht now 

 writes : » It greatly interested me ; it is certainly a hybrid, namely, 

 E. anagallidi folium x obscurum = E. Marshallianum mihi, ined. On 

 examining the locality more closely you will be sure to discover the 

 parents." As several good specimens were sent, there can be little 

 doubt that this determination is correct. Stem 4-8 in. high, with 

 two pubescent lines, round (or very faintly 4-angled when dry). 

 Stolons much as in obscurum. Buds erect ; capsules very slender. 

 Leaves light green, rather shining, sessile or shortly stalked, 

 Mostly rather crowded, alternate or opposite. Stigmas ? 



Circtea alpina L. Near Loch Awe Station. A curious plant, 

 which I at first thought might be intermedia Lond. Cat. (non 

 Ehrh.), but some of the flowers have bracteoles. Queried in Top. Bot, 



*Cantm verticillatum Koch. Glen Nevis, by the road-side, in no 

 great quantity. 



* Viburnum Opiilus L. By the Traligill, Inchnadamph ; native. 

 Galium saxatile L. Ascends to within 100 ft. of the observatory 

 °n Ben Nevis. 



Solidago Viniaurea L., c. cambrica Huds. Meall Garbh (88); 



Stob Ban ; abundant on the coast around Durness, here passing 

 gradually into the type. 



* 



Gnaphalium supinum L. E. side of Ben Klibreek (107). 



Matricaria itwdora h., var. phceocephda Buprecht {jule Lange)
