Abstract
WE are informed by the Botanical Society of the British Isles that a portion of the locality near Borenich, Perthshire, has been fenced off by the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board. Plants withu/this area are being protected from the tree-felling in progress and are being reserved for transplanting to a new site, since the present site will in due course be under seventeen feet of water from Loch Tummel. Here the very rare brown bog-rush, Schœnus ferrugineus, grows. Anyone collecting plants in this vicinity is therefore asked to avoid this fenced-off area.
