166 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



Papaver Rhccas, L. Once found in Alvah in a field; a very doubt- 

 ful native. 



Fiimaria pattidiflora, Jord. Local, but abundant as a field weed in 

 some parishes e.g. Auchterless, Turriff, King Edward, and 

 Methlick in 93% and in Alvah and Gamrie in 94*. 



F. confiisa, Jord. 93*, locally plentiful as a field weed in nine 

 parishes, chiefly in the valleys of the Ythan and Deveron and 

 bordering the north coast ; also in Alvah, in 94*. 



Barbarea vulgaris, L. Scarce and local. 



Cardamine flexuosa, With. 93'% more frequent along the Ythan 

 than C. hirsuta. 



Sisymbrium ojficinale, Scop. Very plentiful by roads on sandy soil 

 in north-east corner of Buchan, but elsewhere very local (near 

 towns or villages) and scarce. 



6". Alliaria, Scop. Local, and very doubtfully native. 



Coronopus Ruellii^ All. Confined to one or two fishing villages 

 or towns ; this appears to have been introduced by man into 

 Buchan. 



Lepidiuin hirfi/m, Gren. and Godr. I have found this in only one 

 locality in the district ; but it is plentiful in 93 around Inverurie. 



Teesdalia nudicaulis, R. Br. Is locally abundant on the sands of 

 Forvie in Slains. 



Reseda Luteola, L. 93* ; an example was among the dried plants 

 from Aberdour. I found one or two examples in August in 

 the neighbouring parish of Gamrie. It is very uncertain in its 

 occurrence anywhere in N.E. Scotland. 



Helianthemum Chamcecistus, Mill. - - Scarcely frequent, though 

 common in a few localities. 



Viola ericetorum, Schrader. Local in 93*, and not common. 

 V, arvensis, Murray. A common field weed. 



V. Curtisii, Forster 93, confirmed. On the sandy coasts, often 

 abundant, and varying much in size and colour of flowers. I 

 have found it also a good many miles up the Ythan valley. 



Folygala vulgaris, L. segr. 93*, here and there, e.g. on the coast 

 of Cruden. 



Silene Cucubalus, Wibel. This appears to be a scarce plant in 

 Buchan. 



Lychnis all>a, Mill. Is very plentiful by roads on the sandy soil in 

 the north-east corner of Buchan ; but it is scarce elsewhere. 



Cerastium tetrandritm, Curtis. 93*, on the sandy coast along the 

 east side.
