The Scottish Naturalist. 



Valeriana dioica. S.A.C. This has been reported from Dum- 

 bartonshire, and is certainly found in Fife; and Mr. 

 Somerville has lately sent me a Stirling example; but 

 this Sutherland habitat takes it far to the north of any 

 record hitherto. 



Senecio sylvaticus. W. F. M 7 



Hieracium sparsifolium ? W. F. Ml 



Pyrola media. W. F. Ml 



Epipactis " latifolia," S.A.C. This had been previously recorded 

 for Sutherland, but the plant proved to be E. ovalis 

 Bab. 



Avena elatior. W. F. M 7 

 Botrychium Lunaria. S.A.C. 

 Lycopodium clavatum. S.A.C. 



109. Caithness. 



Subularia aquatica. J. Henderson, 1889 (fide Grant.) 



Lathyrus sylvestris. W. R. Linton (Ex. Club Rep., 1888, p. 



231), about 5 8° 10". In Norway it extends to 6i° 24"; 



in Finland to 62 0 ; and in Sweden to 62 0 or higher? 

 Rosa canina L. var. glauca Vill., Berriedale. IV. R. Linton, sp. 

 Rubus hemistemon, J. P. Mull. W. R. Linton (I.e.) 

 Veronica Anagallis, var. Anagalliformis Boreau. IV. F. Miller ! 

 Polemonium cceruleum, S.A.C. 



" From the middle of a moor near Dunnet Head, no houses 

 near." It has already been reported from Caithness as 

 " dubiously native." The Spitzbergen plant is P. 

 pulchellum Bunge (= P. arcticum Nyl. = P. humile 

 Willd.) ; but P. cceruleum extends north to Lapland, 

 North Norway, and Finland. 



Betula odorata Bech. var. parvifolia Wimm. 



Carex paludosa. IV. F. Miller, sp. This habitat extends the 

 range of this Carex 50 miles to the north of any previous 

 record from Scotland. On the Continent of Europe it 

 grows in Sweden at about 64 0 ; in Norway about 6o° ; 

 and in Finland (rare) at 6i° N. In Siberia it grows 

 between 50 0 and 6o° N. ; in British N. America at 

 57 0 N., and at "Bear Lake," which may take it slightly
