86 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



DAUCUS CAROTA, L, Very common ; sandy pastures, dunes, fields, 

 and roadsides. 



LONICERA PERICLYMENUM, L. Very rare ; ledge of rock at Hynish 

 Head. 



GALIUM VERUM, L. Very common; sandy pastures, dunes, fields, 

 and roadsides. 



GALIUM SAXATILE, L. Common, but much less so than the 

 preceding. 



GALIUM PALUSTRE, L. Common in wet places. Leaves vary from 

 broadly obovate to narrowly lanceolate, the margins always 

 with prickles, which likewise occur on the midrib of at least 

 some of the leaves of each plant. The stem has always some 

 prickles, but only a few are found in the thicker-stemmed, 

 narrow-leaved form of the wetter places. 



GALIUM APARINE, L. Rather common, especially on shingly 

 shores. 



VALERIANA SAMBUCIFOLIA, Willd. Very rare ; among rocks at 

 Hynish Head. 



SCABIOSA SUCCISA, Z. 



BELLIS PERENNIS, L. Very common. 



ASTER TRIPOLIUM, L. Common in the salt marshes of Urvaig and 

 the Fhaodhail. 



ANTENNARIA DIOICA, R. Br. Very common over most of the 

 island. 



[INULA HELENIUM, L. Mr. Erskine Beveridge sent me a fresh 

 specimen which had been gathered at Ballyphetrish.] 



ACHILLEA MILLEFOLIUM, Z. Very common ; pastures, roadsides, 

 and dunes. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM SEGETUM, Z. Locally common in cultivated 

 fields. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM LEUCANTHEMUM, Z. Local. Manse field in 

 quantity, Scarinish, Hylipol. 



MATRICARIA INODORA, Z. The typical inland plant with erect stem 

 and fine leaf segments does not occur in Tiree, the nearest 

 approach to it being in the case of some plants in a rye-grass 

 field at Ruaig, where the stems are almost erect, but the leaf 

 segments are more fleshy. The ordinary maritime form of this 

 coast is common on shingles and about house walls near the 

 sea ; the stems ascending, less branched upwards, with thicker 

 peduncles and more fleshy leaves. On sheltered ledges of sea 

 cliffs at Kenavara Head it has leaves still more fleshy, and 

 with the segments shorter. In this last situation the plant
