OF THE PLANTS OF ABERDEENSHIRE. 857 
Armeria, at 1742 feet; this last is perhaps the true lower 
limit. 
Salir herbacea. Near the top of the Buck of the Cabrach, 
at 2247 feet and 36 miles from the sea. This hill is the 
highest within many miles and almost isolated. 
Carex rigida. On the Khoil at Ballater at 2000 feet. 
Juncus triglumis. In marshes near the inn at Castleton 
of Braemar, at 1200 feet. 
Rubus Chamemorus. On the hill of Fane, 15 miles inland, 
at 1000 feet and upwards; and on Bennachie, 23 miles in- 
land, and at an elevation not exceeding 1000 feet. 
Cornus Suecica. Near the church of Corgarff in Strathdon 
at 1200 feet, and 50 miles inland. 
Saxifraga hypnoides. On the Khoil at Ballater at 1800 
feet. It occurs on the Banffshire coast not many miles 
from the boundary between Aberdeen and Banffshire. 
Tofieldia palustris. At Corgarff with Cornus Suecica. 
Saxifraga oppositifolia. On the sea cliffs at Aberdour, 
the most northern point of our coast; abundant and cer- 
tainly not introduced. 
Oxyria reniformis. Occasionally along the whole course 
of the Dee to Aberdeen. The lowest natural limit I be- 
lieve to be in the vicinity of Ballater at 900 feet and 44 miles 
inland. 
Rhodiola rosea. Abundant on the Aberdeenshire coast, 
the southmost locality being at the Bullars of Buchan. 
Pyrola secunda. In a ravine on the hill of Fane, es- 
timated at 800 feet, certainly far under 1000, and about 15 
miles inland. 
Epilobium alpinum. Found some years ago on the banks 
of the Dee near Aberdeen, now extirpated, and evidently 
not its natural lower limit, which I regret to say I have not 
yet ascertained. 
Alchemilla alpina. Occasionally along the whole course of 
the Dee to Aberdeen. The lowest natural limit is probably 
near Ballater about 900 feet, where it is abundant, and 
forms a constituent of the turf.
