I 72 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



L. vitlgaris, Mill. Occurs naturalised here and there in both vice- 

 counties. 



Scrophularia nodosa, L. Is not common in Buchan. I have found 

 it along the Ythan and in Gamrie. 



Mimulits Langsdorffii, Donn. Is often extremely common along 

 streams; and was observed in fourteen parishes of 93 and in 

 both those of 94. 



Digitalis purpirea, L. Is not a common plant except in a few 

 localities, chiefly in the valley of the Ythan. 



Veronica hedercefolia, L. Is markedly scarce, in contrast to its 

 abundance near Aberdeen. 



V. Tonrnefortii, C. Gmel. Was observed in nine parishes of 93, 



and is abundant in several places. 

 V. saitellata, L., and V. Anagallis-aquatica, L. Are both local, and 



can scarcely be looked on as common plants. 



Euphrasia officinalis, L. As the aggregate is abundant in every 

 parish, I made numerous gatherings, which yielded the following 

 to Mr. Townsend's inspection : 



E. borealis, Wettst. 93*, in Slains, Cruden, Peterhead, and 

 King Edward ; 94'% in Gamrie. 



var. eglandulosa. 93'% in Slains and Cruden. 

 E. brevipila, Burnat and Gremli. 93*, in Old Deer, Tyrie, 



and Fraserburgh. 

 E. atrfa, Fr. 93*, in Cruden. 



var. glabrescens, Wettst. 93-% in Cruden and Crimond. 

 E. gracilis, Fr. 93*, 94*, frequent on bare moorland. 

 E. scottica, Wettst. 93*, in Slains and Logie-Buchan. 



E. Rostkoviana, Hayne. 93*, in Monquhitter and Aberdour ; 

 94'% in Gamrie. 



E. Kerneri, Wettst. A small form on the links of St. 

 Fergus is " probably " this. 



A number of gatherings could not be determined with certainty, 

 several being regarded by Mr. Townsend as probable hybrids 

 or varieties of some of the above ; but others he referred 

 confidently to hybrids, including brevipila x curta from 

 Pitsligo, and brevipila x Rostkoviana from Fyvie, Auchterless, 

 and Tyrie. 



Rhinanthus major, Ehrh. 93*. Of this I have found only one 

 specimen, flowering in a field of grass near Auchnagatt. 



Utricularia minor, L. 93*. This is the only bladderwort observed 

 by me in Buchan, despite careful search in apparently favour-
