THE FLORA OF BUCHAN 169 



Chrysosplenium alternifolium, L. Is not common ; but I have met 

 with it by the Ythan above Ellon, and by the Deveron near 

 Turriff. 



Parnassia palustris, L. Is local; but it is plentiful in places, 

 especially on the coast. 



Ribes Grossitlaria, L., R. nibruin, L., and R. nigrum, L. All occur 

 here and there in Buchan by roads and streams and in small 

 plantations, but are doubtless outcasts of cultivation, or have 

 sprung from seeds scattered from gardens by birds. 



Sedum roseuiu, Scop. Is very abundant on the cliffs of the east 

 coast between Slains Castle and Boddam, and of the Moray 

 Firth coast in Aberdour and Gamrie. It is very often galled 

 by a mite. 



Drosera anglica, Huds. Appears to be very scarce, and D. rotundi- 

 folia is local and seldom common. 



Myriophyllum spicatum, L. 93*, this is fairly common in the Loch 

 of Strathbeg, and in the burn from the loch ; but I have not 

 seen it elsewhere. 



Callitriche hamu/ata, Kiitz. Common in both 93* and 94*. 



C. autitmnalis, L.- 93*, common in the Meikle Loch of Slains, 

 and in the small lakes at Crimonmogate in Lonmay and at 

 Auchry in Monquhitter. 



Epilobium hirsutum, L. In St. Fergus, apparently native. Pre- 

 viously recorded from 93 as introduced. 



E. parviflorum, Schreb. Local, but not rare near the coast in Slains, 

 Peterhead, and Crimond. 



E. obscurum, Schreb. Common in many parts of both 93* and 

 94*. 



Smyrnium Olusatruin, L. Here and there by roads near houses in 

 93"'% no doubt as a relic of cultivation. 



Apium inundatum, Reichb., f. Found in only two localities in 93, 

 though in these localities it is rather plentiful. 



Carum Carni, L. A favourite in old gardens, from which it has 

 probably been diffused near the farm buildings ; often common. 



Slum crcctum, Huds. Very local, on the coast of Slains and beside 

 east end of Loch of Strathbeg. 



Charophylhun temuhim, L. Very local, in a hedge in Crimond 

 and St. Fergus. 



Myrrh is Odorata, Scop. Occasionally plentiful, by streams ; but 

 always in situations that suggest it has escaped or been spread 

 from gardens.
