ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF BUCHAN 47 



grows a form of Batrachium that Mr. Bennett believes is 

 a floating form of this plant, but that he could not match 

 with any continental form. R. Lenormandi has not been 

 recorded from East or North Scotland. 



R. Flannnula, L. The form radicals, Nolte, is frequent in Gamrie 

 and elsewhere in 94*, in suitable habitats. 



Barbarea vulgaris, L. Though recorded from Schivas, in Tarves, 

 by Dr. Skene, considerably over a century ago, this plant is 

 very scarce in Bucban, chiefly occurring here and there near 

 the Deveron. 



Alyssum calycinum, L. In a wall by a road in Auchterless ; a casual. 



Cochkaria danica, L. Coast of Slains and Aberdour, but not 



common. 

 C. grxnlandica, L. 93*, among short turf on the top of cliffs near 



Old Castle of Slains, in May ; common. An example of what 



appears to be this was found, in rather advanced condition, 



in the Den of Auchmedden in August. 



Subularia aquatica, L. This has been recorded from the lake in 

 Pitfour Grounds, Old Deer. I have looked for it there in 

 vain, but found one example, in fruit, in September, in the 

 Meikle Loch of Slains, a habitat about a mile from the sea. 



Lepidium hirtuin, Sm. - - Extremely scarce in Buchan. A few 

 examples were found on the east bank of the Deveron, in 

 King Edward. 



Cakile maritima, L. Sandy coast, but usually very scarce. Only 

 in one place in St. Fergus have I seen it fairly common. 



Reseda Luteola, L. Several plants in the Den of Troup, on the 



Aberdour side of the bum. 

 HeliantJiemum Chamcecistus, Mill. Now known to occur in ten of 



the twenty-six parishes in Buchan ; abundant in places. 



Viola cornuta, L. 93*. This may claim a place among the plants 

 of Buchan as an " alien," since it is thoroughly established in 

 large patches for some distance along a stream and elsewhere 

 in the parish of Cruden, and also grows in Turriff. I have 

 found it also well established in localities in South Aberdeen, 

 92*, and in Banff, 94*. 



Polygala vu/garis, L., segr., though less frequent than P. serpyllacea, 

 is met with pretty widely. 



Lychnis Githago, Scop. This seems almost confined to the patches 

 of oats and tares grown as fodder, and gives the impression of 

 frequent importation in the seed. 



Cerastium glomeratum, Thuill. --The state apetalum, Dum., is 

 common. It scarcely seems worthy of varietal rank.
