NOTES ON THE FLORA OF BERWICKSHIRE. 

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



IN August of 1906 I spent a few days in the bracing air of 

 Berwickshire, and had the advantage of the company of my 

 friend Mr. A. H. Evans, the well-known ornithologist, whose 

 knowledge of the botany of the plants of his native district 

 is very thorough. In " Topographical Botany " the records 

 are unusually free from personal vouchers, so that I venture 

 to give a list of the more important species which were 

 noticed by me during my visit, and have added a few which 

 Mr. Evans or Mr. Ferguson of Duns also communicated 



o 



to me. 



The occurrence of Agrimonia agrimonoides in such a 

 natural-looking situation is remarkable, nor could I obtain 

 a clue to its introduction. The most interesting find prob- 

 ably was that of the hybrid orchis, which I had not 

 observed hitherto in Britain. Our search in Gordon bog for 

 the Utricularia which has been called Bremii was unsuccess- 

 ful, only U. minor being observed, but the bog has suffered 

 much recently from drainage.
