Penraanshiel Moss.

on dry rocks in Winden Dean. Under the shade of fir trees the 

 flowers of the plant are almost white. 



5. UTRICULARIA INTERMEDIA. In old peat pits in Penmanshiel Moss 



and Langstruther Bog, abundant. 



6. SCIRPUS SETACEUS. Flashy spot in Akeside ; on Eweside ; and on 



the farm of Penmanshiel. 



7. ELEOCHARIS PAUCIFLORA. Langstruther and Braid Bogs, and Ewe- 



side, abundant.

Moor. 



9. ISOLEPIS FLUITANS. In deep pools in Penmanshiel Moss-Burn. 



10. AMMOPHILA ARUNDINACEA. Sea-shore at the foot of the Pease 



Burn. 



11. MELICA NUTANS. Grows along with M. uniflora ; in two or three 



tufts near each other on a cliff overlooking the small rivulet that 

 intersects the wooded dean of Blackburn -rigg. 



12. GL\CERIA MARITIMA. Between the Cove shore and Dunglass burn ; 



on the sea banks near Fastcastle ; growing from the dung of sea 

 fowl, by whom it has been introduced. 



13. FESTUCA OVINA, var. VIVIPARA. A single panicle of a plant in this 



state, the other stalks having brought seeds to perfection, occurred 

 in an upland field on the farm of Blackburn. 



14. FES/UCA ELATIOR. Inland in the Pease and Tower Deans ; in 



Winden Dean ; Braid Bog ; and by the side of the water Eye, 

 above Butterdean Mill. 



15. BROMUS GIGANTEUS. Pease and Cockburnspath Tower Deans; 



deans in Penmanshiel Wood ; Red Clues Cleugh ; Blackburn-rigg- 

 dean, abundant. This plant appears to connect the genera Festuca 

 and Bromus. The awn is inserted above the bifid point, as in Festu- 

 ca, not below it, as some authors state. In the most common state of 

 the plant, the number of florets in the spike varies from three to 

 four, with one rudimentary floret. Very luxuriant specimens have 

 eight perfect florets.
