NOTES ON THE FLORA OF PERTHSHIRE. 



By G. CLARIDGE DRUCE, M.A., F.L.S. 



( Continued from p. 1 6 8. ) 



Rubus Selmeri, Lind. Near Lawers, Killin, and Blairgowrie. 

 Probably the R. villicaulis of the "Flora of Perthshire." 



R. danicus, Focke. Near Blairgowrie, East Perth. New to the 

 vice-county flora. 



R. Lindebergii, P. F. MuelL Killin. 



R. saxatilis, Z. Ben Heasgarnich. 



Dryas octopetala, L. On Ben Heasgarnich, in fine flower. 



Geum rivale, Z. Ascends to 3100 feet in Isla. 



Potentilla Sibbaldi, Hall., f. Ascends to 3000 feet on Glas 

 Thulachan. 



Alchemilla vulgaris, Z., var. alpestris (Schmidt). At 3000 feet on 

 Glas Thulachan. It also occurs on Ben Heasgarnich, Lawers, 

 where it descends to 400 feet on Loch Tay, Ben Laoigh, etc. 

 var. filicaulis (Buser). On shingle by Loch Tay, near 

 Tyndrum, etc. ; Blairgowrie, etc. 



A. alpina, Z., is mentioned as growing on Creag-na-Chaillach in 

 Sibthorp MSS. of 1783. 



Rosa involuta, Sm., is recorded for Perth in the " Trans. Linn. 

 Soc." (1816), p. 184. This appears to be R. spinosissima x 

 tomentosa (mollissima, Willd.). No notice is taken in the 

 "Flora of Perthshire" of the numerous references to Perth- 

 shire Roses made by Mr. Woods in the " Trans. Linn. Soc.," 

 vol. xii., already referred to. Among these are R. heterophylla, 

 Woods, there described from Finlarig ; R. scabriuscula, Sm., 

 from the sides of Loch Tay, where I have seen it near Lawers 

 it is now put as a variety of R. mollissima, Willd., which is 

 synonymous with R. tomentosa, Smith. 



R. mollissima, Willd., var. resinoides (Crepin as a var. of R. 

 tomentosa), I gathered near Lawers some years ago ; and it 

 was named by M. Crepin. Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill's Rosa 

 Borreri from Glen Artney is also referred by M. Crepin to 

 this species. 



R. Eglanteria, Linn., " Sp. PI.," ed. i., 1753 (a name which super- 

 sedes R. rubiginosa of the " Mantissa " of 1771), appears to be 

 scarcely native in Strath Tay, but I am inclined to think it 

 native in East Perth.
