NOTES ON THE FLORA OF WIGTOWNSHIRE 35 



Several critical forms, including the Euphrasiae, collected 

 by me this season are at present undetermined. Eleven 

 native species, twenty-three Aliens and Casuals, and eight 

 varieties were, however, added to the list. The native, or 

 probably native, plants of the county, therefore, at present 

 recorded number 6/9, and the Casuals and Aliens I 15. 



Atriplex calotheca, if correctly named, is especially 

 interesting, as it will, I believe, be an addition to the Scottish 

 flora. 



[NOTE. In respect of Mr. Druce's references to records 

 in my paper on " Scottish Topographical Botany " in this 

 journal, I have to thank him and all other friends that call 

 attention to errors of commission or of omission. Those 

 that have tried similar work will be the most ready to 

 understand how difficult it is to avoid or detect errors in the 

 enumeration and revision of districts denoted by numbers only, 

 without the names as a check. I intend, in a supplement, to 

 correct all such errors as I detect in my lists, or as are brought 

 to my notice. I shall therefore be glad to receive information 

 bearing on the distribution of plants in Scotland to add to 

 numerous records already accumulated towards the prepara- 

 tion of the Appendix. 



But without deferring till this is ready, I shall now 

 account for those discrepancies between my paper and the 

 "Flora" issued by Mr. Scott-Elliott in 1896. 



Saponaria officinal is, Linn., has been substituted by mistake for 

 S. Vaccaria, Linn., found in 74 as a Casual by Mr. M 'Andrew. 

 Hypericum hirsutum, Linn., is given with (?) owing to its being 

 noted for 74 in Mr. Bennett's "Additional Records " for 1891, 

 though not in the " Flora." Saxifraga oppositifulia, Linn., for 

 74t (?) read 77f(?)- The query after f refers not to the 

 specific identity of the plant, but to its claim to be regarded 

 as native. Slum latifolium, Linn., for 74 read 75. Daucus 

 gitmtnifer, Lam., is given in "Topographical Botany," 2nd 

 Ed., on Mr. M 'Andrew's authority. Inula Heleninm, Linn., is 

 named as an introduced plant in 74 by Mr. M 'Andrew in his 

 " List of Wigtownshire Plants." Scnedo viscosns, Linn., must be 

 omitted, being due to an error in transcription.
