*Avena pubescens Huds, Sandy links, Tain (106).

mate obliquo subrepente, panicula racemosa subsimplici, fructifera, 
spiciformi contracta, valvyula late lanceolata acuta, Herb Norm. v. 
n. 92.” This fits our plant well. Dr. Hackel says that it is 
: ¢ th Specimens are sufficiently 
off type to have been named “var. declinata Bréb.” and «G. 
plicata Fr., var. subspicata Parn.” by good English botanists. 
Festuca rubra L., subvar. grandiflora Hackel occurs in shell- 
sand near Tain. The var. pruinosa Hackel is plentiful on cliffs 
near Tarbat Ness ; we suspect that it may be Smith’s «« F. glauca.” 
Var. fallax Hackel (F. fallax Thuill.). Turfy wall-tops, Glen Lochay. 
A form gathered in Glen Nevis, 1887, by E. 8. M., is quite the same
