48 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



C. arvense, L. Very local ; observed in one locality in each of the 

 parishes, Slains, Old Deer, and Fraserburgh. 



Radiola linoides, Roth. Occurred plentifully in a second locality in 

 Slains and on the coast of Aberdour near its eastern boundary. 



Acer campestre, L. 93*, a bush by road in west part of Fyvie. 

 Trifolhtm medium, L. Is not frequent, though wide-spread. 



Rubus idans, L. b, obtusifolius, Willd. 93*. Of this curious form 

 (recorded by me in this journal last July, from Tolquhon in 

 Tarves) a considerable bed exists in a wood a little way to the 

 north of the railway station in Longside. On the margin of 

 the bed at one side it mingles with the ordinary R. idceus, but 

 I could not find any intermediate forms. 



R. plicatus, W. and N. 94*, in an old quarry near Bogbraes, 

 Alvah. 



R. thyrsoideus, Wimm. Of this I gathered a specimen by the road, 

 quite near the west gate to Pitlurg House, Slains ; but it was 

 double-flowered, and appeared to have been planted there. I 

 may say that I have not seen any truly wild bramble in Slains. 



R. mucronatus, Blox. 93'% in a plantation near Auquharney House, 



in Cruden. 

 R. melanoxylon, Mull, and Wirt. 93*, 94*, very frequent in 



Aberdour ; also in Turriff, Alvah, and Gamrie. 



R. radula, Weihe. 93'*, Den of Auchmedden, Aberdour. 



R. corylifolius, Sm. Frequent in Aberdour, Tyrie, and King 

 Edward. 



var. cyclophylluS) Lindeb. 93% roadside near Boyndlie, 

 Tyrie. 



R. saxatilis, L. Locally plentiful in Aberdour ; scarce on coast of 



Cruden. 

 Potentilla procumbens, Sibth. Widely distributed on moorlands. 



Alchemilla vulgaris, L. Not a common plant in many places ; t>, 

 alpestris (Schmidt), 94*, in Alvah. 



Rosa. The forms of this genus collected by me in Buchan are 

 treated of elsewhere in this issue, so that a few words will 

 suffice here. Roses are abundant in the dens in Aberdour. 



R. involuta, Sm. One large clump grows in each of the parishes, 

 Ellon, Aberdour, and Turriff. 



R. hibcrnica, Sm., var. glabra, Baker. 93*, by side of a field in 

 St. Fergus, a large clump, almost forming a hedge, 94*. 

 Near Tor of Troup Cottage, in Den of Troup, a spreading 

 bush. For the parentage of both JR. involuta and R. hibernica 

 consult Mr. Barclay's paper.
