1 Chenopodium, L. The records for this genus are unreliable, the species 

 being so frequently mistaken. Some records are certainly erroneous, and others 

 marked as requiring confirmation are probably so. The habitats of all the species 

 (rubbish-heaps, near houses, and waysides) indicate the probability of introduc- 

 tion and diffusion by man. Even C. album shows this dependence markedly. 



1 Probably an introduction in all parts of Scotland, though now well estab- 

 lished in many counties, and recorded without comment from a good many. Its 

 habitats, as I have seen them, are always suggestive of man's agency.
