ocrnotes:	Lusula maxima, DC. var.gracilis, Rostrup. Top of the Sneug (alt. 1,400 feet), Foula, Shetland, 25th August, 1S87. I send a few specimens from this locality. The very exposed situation in which the plant grows here, combined with late season of gathering, causes the specimens to be somewhat poor. A few, however, retained the flexuous or drooping peduncles which are one of the characteristics of the variety.--W. H, Beeby.
