C. alpina Watson grew close by, retaining all its distinctness ; and 

 this fact, taken in combination with the constancy of both under 

 cultivation, or when raised from seed, leads us to believe that they 

 must be treated as "good" species. C. officinalis was also obtained 

 on Ben Dothaidh, but less fine and characteristic. 



A new Cochlearia occurs above 3000 ft. on Ben Dothaidh, 98*; 

 associated with some of the plants which are its companions on Ben 

 Lawers and Am Binnein. It will be described in a future number. 



Viola canina L. (pro parte). Shingly shore of Loch Tulla, 

 Inveroran, 98*; and on the shingly bank of the Fillan, between 

 Crianlarich and Tyndrum. 



Draba rupestris B. Br. Ben Dothaidh, 98*, at 3000 ft. W. A. S. 

 had previously collected it on Meall Buidhe, an adjoining mountain. 



Cerastium arcticum Lange. Ben Dothaidh, 98*; near the last 

 named, and associated with C. alpinum L. 



Ilex Aquifolium L. A small bush was seen at 1600 or 1700 ft. 

 on Ben Chasteil, 98; its highest recorded elevation in Britain 

 appears to be 1000 ft. 



Rubus Jissits Lindley. Near Dalmally, 98. 



R. dumnoniensis Bab. Dalmally, 98*. New to Scotland ? 



R. pulcherrimus Neuman. Dalmally, 98* ; practically identical 

 with the ordinary form of the south of England, though we did not 

 see septenate leaves. 



R. Lindebergii P. J. Mueller. A very strongly-armed bramble 

 found near Dalmally is referred to this by Dr. Focke ; it was, how- 

 ever, considered by Mr. Rogers to be R. carpinifolius Wh. & N. 



R. Selmeri Lindeberg. Very plentiful and characteristic about 

 Dalmally, 98* ; determined by Mr. Rogers, and assented to by Dr. 

 Focke. This seems to be the correct name for much that has 

 passed as villicaulis in Britain, and the plant is certainly distinct 

 from the villicaulis of the northern highlands. Large and strong- 

 growing in this neighbourhood, usually with bright rose-coloured 

 flowers, and bearing considerable superficial resemblance to R. 

 rhombifolius when alive. Ordinary Scotch villicaulis grows at 

 Inveroran. 



R. mucronatus Bloxam. Near Dalmally, 98*. 



Drosera anglica X rotundifolia \D. obovata Mert. & Koch). By 

 Loch Ganich, 98. 



Callitriche hamulata Kuetzing. In the tarn on Ben Creachain, 

 at nearly 2300 ft. 



Epilnhium obecurum x palustre. Dalmally, 98* ; Crianlarich, 88. 



Hieracium exwium Backhouse. A form with remarkably entire 

 leaves occurs on the cliffs of Ben Creachain. 



//. tfracilentiim Backhouse. Corrie-an-Lochan, Blackmount 

 Forest. * Owing to the long drought of last summer, although many 

 hundreds of plants were seen, only one or two were found in flower. 



11. niyrescens Willd. A small form, placed here by Mr. Hanbury, 

 grew on Ben Creachain with H. eximium. 



H. smescens Backhouse. Ben Creachain. 



H. Schmidtii Tausch. Ben Creachain, Ben Chaisteil, and 

 Buchaille Etive Mor,
