FORMS OF ALCHEMILLA VULGAR IS 49 



It is no doubt well distributed in Scotland. I have seen 

 specimens from the following districts : 



72. Dumfries (Mofifat), E. F. L. and W. R. L. 



74. Wigtown (Newton Stewart), Hb. Bailey. 



77. Lanark, Hb. Kew. 



86. Stirling, Hb. Brit. Mus. 



88. Mid Perth (near Killin), E. F. L. and W. R. L. 

 92. South Aberdeen (Braemar), E. F. L. and W. R. L. 



96. Easterness, Hb. Brit. Mus. 



97. Westerness (Glen Spean), through Bot. Ex. Club. 

 99. Dumbarton, Hb. Kew, and (Dalmuir) L. Watt. 



103. Mid Ebudes (Tobermory), Hb. Bailey. 



3. A. filicaulis, Buser. This is identical with many of 

 the small hairy forms which have (wrongly) been circulated as 

 A. montana, Willd. It resembles A. vulgar is (as restricted) 

 in the hairy stems and petioles, but differs from it most 

 conspicuously in the upper surface of the leaf being thinly 

 hairy and the calyx clothed with some rather long stiff 

 hairs. I have seen Scotch specimens of this only from 



72. Dumfries (near Mofifat), E. F. L. and W. R. L. 

 80. Roxburgh, Hb. Brit. Mus. and (Stichill) Hb. Bos- 

 well. 



89. East Perth (Glen Shee), E. F. L. and W. R. L. ; 



but it will no doubt occur in many other counties, especially 

 in the south. It is widely distributed in England, though 

 apparently more local than the two other forms. 



I have followed M. Buser in giving these three forms 

 the position of species in this notice. There is little doubt, 

 however, that we in this country shall rather regard them as 

 varieties of the aggregate A. vulgaris, and in catalogue they 

 may be expected to stand 



A. vulgaris, Linn. 



a. pratensis (Schmidt). 



b. alpestris (Schmidt). 



c. fllieaulis (Buser).
