Mr. Packe obtained, on or close to the summit of the Pic de Mulhahacen, Sierra Nevada, of Granada (11,600 to 11,700 feet), _Papaver alpinum_ (var. _Pyrenaicum_), _Artemisia Nevadensis_ (used for giving the flavour to the Manzanilla sherry), _Viola Nevadensis_, _Galium Pyrenaicum_, _Trisetum glaciale_, _Festuca Clementei_, _Saxifraga Grœnlandica_ (var. _Mista_), _Erigeron alpinum_ (var. _glaciale_), and _Arenaria tetraquetra_. On the Picacho de Veleta (11,440 feet), and on the Alcazaba (11,350), the same plants were obtained, with the exception of the first named. At a height of 11,150 feet on these mountains he also collected _Ptilotrichum purpureum_, _Lepidium stylatum_, and _Biscutella saxatilis_; and, at 10,000 feet, _Alyssum spicatum_ and _Sideritis scordiodes_. Mr. Packe mentions the following plants as occurring at 9000 to 10,000 feet in the Pyrenees:—_Cerastium latifolium_, _Draba Wahlenbergii_, _Hutchinsia alpina_, _Linaria alpina_, _Oxyria reniformis_, _Ranunculus glacialis_, _Saxifraga nervosa_, _S. oppositifolia_, _S. Grœnlandica_, _Statice Armeria_, _Veronica alpina_. Information on the botany of the Val Tournanche is contained in the little pamphlet by the late Canon G. Carrel, entitled _La Vallée de Valtornenche en 1867_; and a list of the plants which have hitherto been collected on the glacier-surrounded ridge (Furgen Grat) connecting the Matterhorn with the Col Théodule, will be found in Dollfus-Ausset’s _Matériaux pour l’étude des Glaciers_, vol. viii. part first, 1868. In the _Jahrbuch_ for 1873 of the Swiss Alpine Club it is stated that on an ascent of the Finsteraarhorn (14,106 feet) the following were collected within the last 1000 feet:—_Saxifraga bryoides_, _S. Muscoides_, _Achillea atrata_, and _Ranunculus glacialis_.
