THE FLORA OF BUCHAN 



Centaurea Cyanus, L. Local, as a weed in fields, almost certainly 



not native. 

 Taraxacum officinale, Weber., var. palustre, DC. 93*, in swamps in 



the Ythan valley. 

 Sonchus asper, Hoffm. 94*, in Alvah and Gamrie. Also in almost 



every parish of 93. 



Tragopogon prate use, L. Very local and scarce, on Cruden Links. 

 Vacdniuin Vitis-idcea, L. Very local and scarce, in Longside. 



Primula veris, L. Locally abundant on the sea-coast of Slains, 

 Cruden, and St. Fergus. 



Lysimachia nemornm, L. Not common. 



AnagalHs arvensis, L. 93*. I have seen an example gathered in 



the parish of Aberdour. 

 A. cxruha, Schreb. 93-% I found a plant (no doubt a casual) in a 



potato-field in Auchterless last autumn. 



A. tenella, L. Occurs on the coast south of Peterhead and near the 

 Loch of Strathbeg. 



Vinca minor, L. 93*, here and there in woods, looking wild, but 

 no doubt originally introduced. 



Gentiana Amarella, L. Locally abundant on the sandy coasts from 

 the mouth of the Ugie to Fraserburgh. 



G. campestris, L. Much less abundant than G. Amarella ; in 



Slains, St. Fergus, Aberdour, and Gamrie. 

 Polemonium cKrukum, L. By a roadside in Methlick, no doubt 



originally introduced by man. 

 Symphytum offianak, L. A specimen was in the dried collection 



from Aberdour. 

 S. tuberosum, L. Is locally abundant, but can scarcely be called 



general in Buchan. 



S. peregrimim, Ledeb. I found examples of this in six parishes of 



93*, and in Gamrie, vestiges of its cultivation some years 



since. 

 Anchusa sempervirens, L. Is semi-naturalised in St. Fergus and in 



Old Deer, 93*. 

 Volvulus sepium, Junger. 93, this was found on the sea-coast near 



the old castle of Slains, doubtless introduced by man, and 



also by the side of a road in Longside. 



Solatium Dulcamara, L. Grows in a hedge at the ruins of Inverugie 

 Castle. It cannot be regarded as indigenous. 



Linaria repens, Mill. 93*. I found this growing in two places in 

 Fyvie no doubt introduced, though well established.
