ligule-tips glabrous. — *B. diaphanoides Lindeb. 89. Shee Water 

 and Lochy Burn (the type is new for Scotland). — *Var. apiculatwn 

 Linton. 89. Lochy Burn ; very rare. — : 'H. bar bar ea folium Lonnr. ? 

 92. By the Clunie, just below Braemar. W. R. Linton writes that 

 this is characterized by narrow, deeply-cut stem-leaves ; heads like 

 H. sciaphilum, but with glabrous ligules. Our plant usually has 

 petioled, very truncate-based stem-leaves, strongly and deeply 

 dentate below with about three pairs of teeth, and triangular-oblong 

 in outline. Styles greenish livid. — *H. sjmrsifolium Lindeb. var. 

 placerophyllum Dahlst. 89. Rocks by the Ericht, near Craighall ; 

 this variety was not known before from Scotland. — Var. longiciliatum 

 F. J. Hanb. In two Glen Dee localities, as well as a new one in 



ifi 



Glen Clunie; 



H. rigidum. Styles yellow or greenish yellow. 



Bhinanthus monticola Druce. 92. Plentiful in dry, grassy 

 ground, Glen Dee, near Allan-a-Quoich. — R. borealis Druce. 92. 

 Rocks in Glen Callater, at 2500 ft. 



Melampyrum pratense L. var. hians Druce. 92. Frequent near 

 Braemar. 



Mentha aquatica L., var. 92. A mint found growing on the 

 stony bed of a backwater of the Clunie, a little above Braemar, has 

 the very sweet scent of M. citrata Ehrh., but lacks its numerous 

 glands; the calyces are also pubescent, and the leaves have scattered 

 hairs on the upper surface. Mr. C. E. Salmon refers it to var. 

 mbglabra (Baker). It is near a cottage, and may have escaped 

 from cultivation. 



Betxda intermedia Thomas (B. nana, male, x pubescens, female). 

 92. One fine tree, by the Callater Burn, at 1700 ft., comes very 

 near the form originally found in the same glen (1886), which grew 

 higher up. Two smaller trees in Glen Slugain are probably the 

 same combination, but decidedly approach B. pubescens. A very 

 curious little shrub occurs at about 2800 ft. in wet, peaty ground 

 on the descent from Lochnagar to the Dim Loch. Habit creeping- 

 rooting ; hardly 6 in. high ; leaves small, nearer to B. nana (which 

 is, no doubt, the female parent), varying in shape from broader 

 than long or suborbicular to ovate, bluntly toothed, more or less 

 hairy ; without inflorescence. It differs greatly from B. alpestris 

 Fr., and may be an undescribed form of the hybrid. 



Salix cinerea L. 89. Ascends to 1700 ft. by the Lochy Burn. 

 Unlike S. aurita and 8. caprea, this is usually quite a lowland 

 species. — S. lapponum L. 92. A large bush, about 10 ft. by 8 ft. 

 across, and with very white foliage, grows at 2400 ft. by the Allt- 

 Lochan-nan-Eoin, Ballochbuie Forest,; it is probably the form 

 which Smith called 8. Stuartiana.— 8. aurita x nigricans. 89. 

 Near Spittal of Glen Shee. — S. aurita x phglicij'olia. 89. Two 

 female bushes by the Lochy Burn, at 1200 or 1300 ft. — *S. caprea 

 X repens. 89. By a streamlet in Glen Shee, at 1250 ft. An erect 

 bush, about 4 ft. high, much nearer to 8. caprea ; but the silky 

 pubescent foliage is smaller, and has repens-like serration. *92. 

 By the Callater Burn, at about 1750 ft. A procumbent plant, 

 approaching 8. repens, which was probably the female parent. The
