THE FLORA OF BUCHAN 175 



All in in ursimtm, L. Very local ; a dried specimen seen from Aber- 

 dour. 



Stilla festalis, Salisb. A dried specimen seen from Aberdour. 



Juncus siipinns, Mcench, var. comosus, Breb. 93*, Moss of Auch- 

 leuchries, Cruden. Identified by Mr. Ar. Bennett. 



Luzula vernalis, DC. 93, not common. 



L. maxima, DC. Is decidedly local and scarce, though plentiful 

 in a few woods beside streams, e.g. near Gight. 



L. erecta, Desv. 93*, general and common. 



Alisma ranuncnloides, L. Is common on the margin of the Loch 

 of Strathbeg, but has not been found elsewhere in Buchan. 



Potamogeton natans, L. 



var. prolixus, Koch. 93'% in the North Ugie in parish of 



Longside. 



P. alpiitus, Balb. Scarce, in the Ythan at Gight ; and P. hetero- 

 phylhis, Schreb., in the Meikle Loch of Slains.

Scirpus pauciflonis, Lightf. 93^, local, in Slains, Peterhead, and 

 Fyvie. 



S. sctaceus, L. Observed in only one locality, in Slains. 



S. Tabernamontani, Gmel. Grows in small quantity in the estuaries 

 of the Ythan and the Ugie. Earlier records of S. lacustris from 

 these estuaries are evidently due to a mistake in identification 

 of the plants. I have not seen S. lacustris in Buchan. 



Carex dioica, L. Seems to be very local, as I have found it only 

 in Peterhead and Fyvie. 



C. incun'a, Lightf. Is plentiful in a small space on the beach near 

 the old Castle of Slains, and also in Fraserburgh, at the mouth 

 of Philorth Water.

 rocky coasls of Slains and Cruden. 



C. aquati/is, Wahl., var. elafior, Bab. Is not uncommon along the 

 Ythan, Ugie, and Philorth. 



C. distans, L. 93" 1 , is common in many places on the coast of 

 Slains, and also near Boddam, in Rathen, and in Gamrie (94).
