the head of Caness, Glenisla. It grows scattered over a 
limited tract of wet stony ground, associated with Armeria 
maritima, / 3 ., and Cochlearia Grcenlandiea. In July 1843 
it was abundant, and I had the pleasure of gathering it in 
fine condition amidst a terrific hail storm. In July 1846 it 
was rather scanty, but most of it past flowering, and many 
young plants just coming up. The long tract of dry weather 
had probably deprived the ground of that degree of moisture 
necessary to give efficient sustenance to the plants. 
This interesting plant was first discovered on the above 
mountain by the indefatigable Mr G. Don, and has since 
been gathered there by Sir John Ogilvy , Bart., Mr M l Nab, 
and the late Prof. Graham. Prof. Balfour, and many other 
botanists, have visited the spot, and found it more or less 
plentiful according to the nature of the season.
