1 68 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



RIBES RUBRUM, var. SPICATUM (Rob.}. Uig, abundant on rocks- 

 about Dunvegan Head, Skye, 104, Lawson MS. 



fSEDUM ALBUM, L. Railway bank near Thornielee, 78. 



*S. ACRE, L. Selkirk, 79. 



S. VILLOSUM, L. at 800 feet by the Ettrick, growing by the road- 

 side, Selkirk, 79. 



*fS. LYDIUM, Boiss. This plant of Asia Minor is naturalised by the 

 river at Clovenfords, Selkirk. It grows in the garden in the 

 village. The first British record.

*CH/EROPHYLLUM AUREUM, L. This very interesting discovery was 

 made in 1909, by Mr. Fraser, who found it by the Teith at 

 Callander, 87. It clearly shows how much remains to be done 

 at the Scottish Flora since few places have been more visited 

 by botanists than Callander, and yet within a hundred yards 

 of the chief hotel the plant occurs in great plenty, and extends 

 for nearly a mile up the river, and in adjacent pastures in the 

 greatest profusion. I had not time to investigate the river side 

 below the town. Its very abundance has doubtless led to its 

 being mistaken for C. sylvestre, from which, however, its spotted 

 and unfurrowed stem easily distinguishes it. Its perennial 

 growth and acute leaf-segments readily separate it from C. 

 temuhiin. It has much the appearance of a native species ; 

 but I could not find that it extended up the Leny. It is 

 difficult to explain its occurrence here. At any rate it is com- 

 pletely naturalised ; and it was extremely pleasing to see 

 another of the plants which rested upon Don's uncorroborated 

 evidence in such natural surroundings. By the Teith I saw 

 young plants of an American Aster, probably aggregate Novi- 

 belgii, L. ; while the Charophyllum is a plant of central and 

 eastern Europe, including France and the Pyrenees, and is 

 said to be naturalised only in South Norway. Don found it 

 (" Fasc. Brit. PI." 207, 1806), by the sides of cornfields between 

 Montrose and Arbroath, and a few plants near Corstorphine, 

 within four miles of Edinburgh ; since which time it has not 

 been recorded for Britain. It is figured in "E.B." 2103.
