234 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY
C. obtusangula, Ehrh., ascends to 1400 feet in H. Isla.
C. vesicaria, Z., var. alpigena,
Fries. On Ben Lawers.
var. dichroa, Anders. Ben Lawers, Ben Laoigh.
Anthoxanthum odoratum, Z., ascends to 3000
feet in H. Isla.
Phleum alpinum, Z. Ben Heasgarnich. It ascends to 2500 feet
in Breadalbane.
Agrostis canina, Z., ascends to 2800 feet on Glas Thulachan.
A. nigra, With. In cultivated fields, Lawers.
A. alba, Z., var. mantima, is recorded by E. F. Linton from the
river Dochart at Killin in "Journ. Bot," 1892, p. 150.
A. alba, Z., var. coarctata (Hoffm.), forma aristulafa, Hackel, inlitt.^
with very short dorsal awn, occurred on Ben Lawers at about
3000 feet.
A. pumila, Z., occurred on Ben Lawers, Meall Garbh,
at Lochan-na
Lairige, and on Glas Thulachan in an undiseased condition,
and was plentiful on Ben Laoigh, descending to 800 feet or
less.
Deyeuxia neglecta, Kunth, var. borealis, is, I am afraid, irreparably
lost at Killin, as the marsh is now entirely filled up with sawdust.
Deschampsia csespitosa, Beauv., var. alpina, Gaud. Ben Heasgarnich,
Glas Thulachan, etc.
var. brevifolia (sub. Aim}. Killin, Herb. Parnell, in the
Linnean Society.
var. longi-aristata (sub. Aira). Ben Lawers, Herb. Parnell,
on Ben Lawers.
D. alpina, Beauv. Ben Heasgarnich. In specimens from this
mountain several gradations could be traced in the position of
the awn on the flower-glume. In D. alpina they spring from
above the middle of the pale. Glas Thulachan ?
var. vivipara (sub. Aira). Ben Lawers, Herb. Parnell.
D. flexuosa, Trin., ascends to 3100 feet on Glas Thulachan.
var. voirZichensis, Melvill, Ben Heasgarnich.
Arrhenatherum precatorium, Beauv. (A. avenaceum, var. bulbosum,
Lindl.). In the " Flora of Perthshire " it is said to be common
in cultivated ground. It is certainly also frequent in dry, rocky,
and uncultivated ground, as at Lawers, etc. but the
; point I
wish to make is that the essential differences are not caused by
as the statement in the "Flora"
growing in cultivated ground,
appears to suggest.
Molinia varia, Schrank (M. ccerulea, Moench), var. breviramosa.
Glas Thulachan.
