n Lochay. Besides the typical form with very dark styles, a 
yalow: styled one is fairly plentiful on the railway about i 
larich. F.J.H. proposes to deal with various Hieracia foun 
aisthg the last few seasons in a separate paper, which he hopes to 
publish shortly.

Veronica serpyllifolia L., var. humifusa (Dicks.). Ben More of 
Assynt, plentiful at 2800 feet. With white flowers, on Cruac 
Ardran.—*V. persica Poir, Frequent in fields near Tain (1 
Bartsia Odontites Huds., var. verna Reichb. Inchnadamph ; 
Glen Lochay ; in the latter station a very marked form indeed. — 
Var. serotina Reichb. Near Portmahomack (106). 
Melampyrum pratense L., var. earn ohnst. Near Inchna- 
damph; Glen etic. Glen Loc 
Rhinanthus sp. ? On the itve hora Tain to Portmahomack we 
both noticed from a considerable distance a yellow-rattle which was 
larger than in R. minor; nor does our plant seem to be R. angusti- 
folia ia Khrh., the distribution of which, also, renders its occurrence 
in North Britain rather seukely. Variable as mino ris, we do not 
believe the E. Ross specimens to belong to it. The root is stout; the 
stem profusely branched i Se ‘its ite half, 1 to 1% ft. 
erect, linear-oblong (rather recalling narrow-leaved states of Epi. 
lobiwm nanan Griseb.). Upper bracts more ‘‘ discolorous’’ than 
normal minor. Unfortunately, it seems seussobaitle to preserve 
the facies in ‘this genus, but we hope to prt the form again, and 
submit it to good authorities in a livmg 
Utricularia intermedia Hayne. ns pools above Crian- 
larich, at about 700 feet. 
inguicula vulgaris L. A form approaching var. i gid Nord- 
stedt grows at the base of the lower cliffs on Ben Laoig 
*Calamintha arvensis Lam. Railway-bank, bangs (107) ; 
associated with Anthemis tinctoria, but very likely native.

Plantago pumila Kjellmann. Two specimens one red on lime- 
stone near Inchnadamph, at 700 feet, appear qui e identical with 
ee from Ben Hope, collected by ; oa e and 
J. H., except that the sepals are darker. A small plantain from 
the top of ranley and Widdybank Fells, toaaas: docs not differ 
in any point, so far as we can see; all three have the nage 
ciliated. The be Laoigh form, mentioned by us last year 
taller scape, and the leaves are less erect ; but we had to leave the 
hill practically unworked, this time, nie to one of us being 
seized with a sudden chill. Mr. Melvill recently wrote as follows
