Flora of Scottish Lakes. 
1001 
Sparganium minimum, Menyanthes trifoliata, Ranunculus Flam- 
mula, Carex flava, Caltha palustris, Juncus effusus, Carex aquatilis, 
Eriophorum vaginatum, Nardia compressa, Hypnum ochraceum. 
All the littoral plants were very much dwarfed. 
Lochan Diota is a small pool at about 1000 feet elevation north- 
west of Loch Lochy. It is in a depression, and is covered with 
the following plants : — Littorella lacustris, Lobelia Dortmanna, 
Juncus fluitans, Castalia speciosa, Menyanthes trifoliata, Heleo- 
■charis palustris, Juncus effusus, Scirpus lacustris, Carex aquatilis, 
C. rostrata, Utricularia intermedia, all abundant. A number of 
old stems of Scirpus lacustris had been washed up on the east 
shore, 3 or 4 feet above the present w^ater level. 
Loch Lundie is north of Glen Garry, at an elevation of 445 feet. 
The shores are flat and peaty, sandy or stony. The water is peaty, 
and there is an abundant flora. The marsh plants grow luxuriantly 
■on its western shore (fig. 44), but the eastern shores are com- 
paratively bare (fig. 45 ) ; the western side is also well wooded. 
A considerable island on the east is covered with dwarf birch and 
alder (fig. 45). Some of the shallow bays on the west are entirely 
filled with Phragmites communis (fig. 44), others with Scirpus 
lacustris (fig. 46). Isoetes lacustris is extremely abundant here, 
•carpeting the bottom from 2 to 20 feet deep ; in the deeper 
water these were frequently 18 inches long, being the largest 
specimens I have seen in this area. Littorella lacustris and 
Lobelia Dortmanna form a bottom carpet in many of the shallower 
places. Great beds of Carex rostrata, with C. aquatilis, occur on 
the western shore. Other abundant plants are Juncus fluitans, 
Potamogeton natans, P. lucens, Chara sp. rather scarce, Myrio- 
phyllum alterniflorum, Callitriche hamulata, Utricularia inter- 
media, Castalia speciosa, Sparganium natans, Equisetum limosum 
vather scarce, Comarum palustre, Menyanthes trifoliata, Heleo- 
charis palustris, Caltha palustris, Juncus articulatus, J. effusus, 
Ranunculus Flammula, Eriophorum polystachion, Pedicularis 
palustris. 
Lochan Doire Cadha is a small loch situated between Loch 
Lundie and Loch Oich, with peaty water. The west side is com- 
posed entirely of a deep and dangerous bog, sparsely covered with 
small Phragmites communis, Carex rostrata, and C. aquatilis
