Mountains at a great elevation. — a. Clova, Braemar, and Cairn- 
gorum ranges. — j 8 . Loch-na-gar, Aberdeenshire; Loch Wharral, 
Clova. Stridden-edge, and Glara-mara, Cumberland y. Canlochen 
Glen, Clova; Glen Callader, Braemar; Mael Ghyrdy, Breadalbane; 
Ben Voirlich, Dumbartonshire, y. 7,8. — With the exception of 
the trifling marks of distinction assigned above to the three varieties, 
we do not see how they differ, and probably all, and several others, 
ought to be combined with H. atratum Fries, which is the oldest name. 
In our a. the heads of flowers are usually drooping; in /3. they are 
erect or scarcely drooping; in y. they are, we believe, always erect. 
10. H. * amplexicaule L. (amplexicaule Hi) ; deep green, all 
covered with yellowish glandular hairs and viscid, stem woolly 
at the base 1 — 3-leaved branched, branches patent, leaves 
somewhat rigid, radical ones oblong-ovate toothed with short 
hairy but not shaggy petioles, cauline ones semi-amplexicaul, 
those of the branches and bracteas cordato-ovate amplexicaul, 
scales of involucre lax erect in bud, ligules ciliate at the apex, 
styles yellow. E. B. S. t. 2690. 
“ On a rock called the Garrie Barns, in Clova,” — G. Don. y. 7, 8 . 
— The specimen in our herbarium labelled by Don himself, as found 
on the above rock, is obviously a cultivated one. The station some- 
times mentioned, viz. old walls around Cleish Castle, is a still more 
suspicious one; but as the species has been already admitted into the 
Flora, and has been figured in the Supplement to ‘ English Botany,’ 
we have still given it a place. It is not, we believe, a very alpine 
species, and therefore may still be found in the lower ranges of the 
middle or south of Scotland, which have been little investigated. 
11. H. cerinthoid.es L. ? (Honey-wort H.) ; glaucous green, 
stem with few (usually 2) leaves and few (1 — 3) heads near the 
top slightly hairy, radical leaves ovato-lanceolate apiculate or 
acuminate denticulate about the middle usually hairy beneath 
with long more or less shaggy petioles, cauline ones more or less 
amplexicaul constricted below the middle, uppermost sessile, 
involucre ventricose rounded at the base hairy setose, its scales 
narrow erect in bud, ligules pilose at the apex, styles livid. 
E. B. t. 2378 ? (cult.)— «. cauline leaves constricted few' broadly 
amplexicaul, outer scales of involucre lax. H. Lawsoni E. B. 
t. 2083. (not Vill.) — (3. cauline leaf usually solitary narrowed to 
the base and scarcely amplexicaul, scales of involucre adpressed 
or outer ones rather lax. H. anglicum Fries. — y. extremely 
glaucous, cauline leaves very acute or acuminate usually 
glabrous, scales of involucre adpressed, inner ones attenuate 
acute. 
Mountains. — a. Scottish mountains, principally of Clova, Aberdeen- 
shire, and Breadalbane. — /3. Westmoreland; Cumberland; Tees- 
dale. Antrim; Connemara. Highlands of Scotland. — 7 . Aberdeen- 
shire; Cairn-toul, confluence of the Clunie and Dee near Castleton 
of Braemar, Aberdeen Links (from seeds brought down by the Dee).
