FLORULA OF A PIECE OF WASTE GROUND AT ABERDEEN 223 



been enumerated. Where the remarks of last year still apply, 

 the plants are merely named. Where the difference is only 

 in the frequency of occurrence the name is followed by + to 

 denote increase, or by to denote decrease. Species 

 admitted as indigenous in British floras but not so in the 

 district around Aberdeen are indicated by an asterisk. The 

 names of those not regarded as indigenous anywhere in 

 Britain are printed in italics. 



Ranunculus acris, L. A few plants in a limited area. 

 R. repens, L. 



*Papaver Rhoeas, L. Two plants on the cinders. The absence 

 from this ground of P. ditbium, the common cornfield weed 

 near Aberdeen, seems noteworthy. 



Cochlearia Armoracia, L. The same two plants as were noted last 

 year are still growing, but have not flowered. Last autumn the 

 leaves were a good deal eaten by the larvae of the moth Pionea 

 forficalis. 



Hesperis mafroiialis, L. 



Sisymbrinm paniionicuin, Jacq. Two or three young plants seen 

 in August near where the only one was observed last year. 



Brassica Napus, L. - 

 B. Sinapi strum, Boiss. - 

 Capsella Bursa-pastoris, Web. 



Lepidiuni Draba, L. Several flowering stems reappeared on the 

 spot where I found it 1895, probably from buds on roots of 

 the plant removed by me in 1895. The flowers on these stems 

 showed fewer irregularities of floral structure than on the original 

 flowering stems. The plant continues to thrive in my garden. 



Viola tricolor, Z., and V. arvensis, Murr. Of each a few weakly 



plants occurred on the cinders. 

 Siiene Cucubalus, Wibel. One pretty large plant in flower and 



fruit. 



Lychnis alba, Mill. 

 Cerastium triviale, Link. 



Stellaria media, Cyr. As before, though less abundant near the 

 mills. 



Spergula arvensis, Z., b. sativa, Bixnu. 



Ulex europreus, L. ") 



,-, , r 7 Mostly killed out by traffic near sidings. 



Cytisus scoparms, Link, j 



Medicago sativa, L. Slightly increased.
