NOTES. 



Melilotus arvensis, Wallr. (M. officinalis, Desr. and also Lam.) 

 More careful observation shows this to be the prevailing form in 

 this neighbourhood ; M. altissima, Thuill. (M. officinalis, Willd.) being 

 found only at Hailes Quarry and at St. David's, Fife. 



Picris hieracioides, L., Plantago patagonica, Jacq., and P. 

 Rugelii, DC., were not got wi'd ; they were grown from impurities 

 found in seed of commerce by Messrs. Bell and Bieberstedt, who 

 very kindly permitted me to examine these and many others in 

 their seed-trial grounds at Leith. 



Koeleria plileoides, Pers., and Triticum speltoides (a) Aucheri, 

 Aschers. and Grbn. "Syn." ii. 711. For the names of these I am 

 indebted to Professor Hackel, who very kindly added the following 

 synonyms for the latter : 



/F.gilops speltoides, " Tausch in Flora," 1837, 108 ; non Jaub. 

 and Spach. 



Tr tifum speltoides, Godr. " Fl. Massil. Adven." (1857). 



sEgilops Aucheri, Boiss., " Diagn." pi. or ser. i, v. 74 (1844).

sEgilops macrura, Jaub. and Spach. "111. PI. Or." t. 316 

 (1850). 



Cuscuta planiflora, Ten. (for the name of which I am indebted 

 to Professor Bayley Balfour) was found twining round the stems of 

 Melilotus indica, All., Brachypodium distachyum, Beauv., and a 

 Lathyrus.
