ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF BUCHAN 49 



R. canina, L., var. Zutefianct, Lem. 93", by roadside in Slains, near 

 Pitlurg House. 



R. coriifolia, Fr. 93*, in Aberdour, Turriff, and King Edward. 



Saxifraga oppositifolia, L. I met with this in five or six localities 

 in Aberdour, chiefly on the rocky coast, but also extending 

 inland along the steep banks of the ravine of the Quingan. 

 It also occurred on a steep slope facing the sea, east of 

 Melrose, in Gamrie. 



Chrysospleniuin alfernifolinm, L. In Den of Troup ; local. 



Drosera rotundifolia, L. Grows on most peat-mosses in Aberdour 

 and the neighbouring parishes, sometimes in great abundance. 

 D. anglica, Huds., is much less generally diffused ; but it also 

 is very plentiful in one or two peat-mosses in Aberdour and 

 Tyrie ; and in these mosses the hybrid obovata, Mert. and 

 Koch, occurs with the parents. 



Hippuris vnlgaris, L. Very local, its habitats being restricted by 

 the destruction of the peat-mosses. 



Myriophyllum spicatum, L. In a pool in Cruden. It is far less 

 common in Buchan than M. alter niflorum, DC. 



Peplis Portula, L. Very scarce; in a shallow pool near Towie 

 farm, Aberdour, and in a similar pool near Mintlaw Station, 

 Old Deer. 



Ly thrum Salicaria, L. By a mill-lade in Cruden, but almost 

 certainly a casual. 



Epilobium angiistifoliiem, L. A good deal of this grows in rough 

 ground by the side of a farm-road near Ardallie, Old Deer ; 

 but the carpels are short, indicating that it is an escape or 

 introduction there. 



E. parviflorum, L. A large glabrescent broad-leaved variety grows 

 in a ditch in Logie-Buchan. 



E. montanum, L. This is rather a scarce plant in many localities 

 in Buchan. A dwarf form, minus, Hausskn., was found in a 

 tributary valley of the Den of Troup, in Aberdour. 



E. obscnrum, Schreb. A very large much-branched form (ramos- 

 tssima, Hausskn.) grows by the waysides in Fyvie. 



E. palustre, L. 93*. The variety, lavandiilafolium, Hausskn., was 

 gathered on the Forvie Links in Slains, and a white-flowered 

 variety was found on a hill in Aberdour. 



Mr. Marshall recognised among the gatherings two hybrids, 

 obscurum * palustre (ligulatum, Baker), from beside the lake at 

 Pitfour in Old Deer, and obscnrum x parviflorum from Aberdour, 

 and from Balmoor, near Peterhead.
