NOTES ON HIGHLAND PLANTS. 153 



Thymus serpyllum Fr., var. prostrate Hornem. Ben Klibreck 

 (108), up to 1500 ft. Apparently the usual form in N. Scotland, 

 and the only one I have come across. 



* Stocky % palustris L. Cultivated ground, Durness ; also S. 



arvensis L. 



Plantcujo lanceolata L. Some of the Durness coast-plants were 

 between type and var. eriophylla ; others, towards var. capitata 

 Presl. — p. maritinm L. Plentiful inland about Altnaharra, in 

 grassy places ; apparently the Shetland "fonna procerior" Lange. 

 I have seen a similar form in Upper Teesdale. 



*Oxyria diyyna Hill. Plentiful in the central corrie of Ben 

 Klibreck (107). 



iBetula ylutinosa Fr., var. parvifolia Wimm. Herb, (fide Lange, 

 sub B. odorata Bechst.) ; Flora Dauica, 2917. — B. carpathica, 3. 

 sudetica Reichb. — B. odorata, B. microphylla Hartm. "Ad B. al- 



pestrem Fr. accedens" (Lange). Close to the ferry at Cashil Dhu, 

 below Ben Hope (108) ; a small tree, 8-10 ft. high, in good fruit. 

 "Leaves small (i-f in. long, about £ in. broad), rhomboid-elliptic 

 or roundish -ovate, pointed" ('Danske Flora,' ed. 4, p. 241). 



*Salix Gaprea L. Inchnadamph ; native. Alpine exstipulate 

 form, varying in size from a bush to a tree 25 ft. high. — S. niyricans 

 Sm., a. y amino, auct. and h. hirta (Sm.). Cliffs near Lochan-na- 

 Lairige.— *S. Myrsinites L., b. procwnbens (Forbes). Stob Ban (97). 

 By the Traligill, Inchnadamph (confirms the record of Myrsinites 

 for 108), at 400-600 ft. A very curious plant. Mr. Ar. Bennett 

 writes: "I think correct, but it may be a foreign form." I have 

 only once seen specimens of S. Grahami, but hardly think it to be 

 that. — . *S. herbncea L. E. side of Ben Klibreck (107) ; plentiful. 

 It descends to about 1500 ft. on the W. side. 



*Juniperus nana Willd. Below Stob Ban (97) ; barren. It wa8 



fruiting beautifully at Durness and on the lower slopes of Quinag 

 (108). 



Epipactis atrorubens Schultz. was seen sparingly on limestone 

 near Inchnadamph, as well as abundantly about Durness. 



*Juncns trifidns L. Top of Ben Klibreck, on the E. side (107) 

 as well as the W.— J. supiuu* Moench.— b. Kochii Syme. E. side 



of Ben Klibreck, at about 2000 ft. ; stamens 6.— c. jimtatu Fr. 



Lochan below Stob Ban. Slow stream below Quinag, Assynt. 

 d. uliyinosns (Roth.) Bealach Pass, below Ben Klibreck (E. side). 



u. utiyinosius (Roth.) 



Lochan Feoir, Assynt. 



„_ # ^_„ These were passed by Mr. Arthur Bennett 



as correctly named.— J", lamproearptu Ehrh. A tall, slender, and 

 feafy plant, from a birch-wood by the Garry, a little above Blair 

 Athole (88), was named by Dr. Buchenau : " forma virescens, 

 probabiliter in unibrosis errata." —<f. aipinus Vill., a. femam 

 Buchenau. I kept a good look-out for this, and was fortunate 

 enough to find it near Inchnadamph (*108), growing with J. km- 

 J"' 1 ' '>7>us at about 400 ft. A new station for it m 89 is the 

 moorland below Cam Liath, about a mile from Monzie Farm 

 (alt. 1600 ft.) ; here not exceeding six inches in height. These 

 ^ere also determined bv Dr. Buchenau. 



L***l* spicata DC. must be credited to 107 (Ben Klibreck).
