 Volume I. of 



THE FLORA OF PERTHSHIRE. 



Price to Subscribers, 3s 6d. 



N. B. — After the Subscription List is complete the price will be increased. 



Since no complete list of the plants of the large and varied county of Perth 

 has ever been published, the Perthshire Society of Natural Science has 

 engaged its botanical members to prepare a " Flora of Perthshire." 



In this work it is intended to show the distribution of each plant through- 

 out the county, giving, in regard to the rarer plants, detailed information 

 regarding their especial localities, and, when possible, the dates (in some 

 cases upwards of 200 years ago) of their first discovery in the county. 



For the benefit of less advanced botanists, a Synopsis of the Perthshire 

 Flora {i.e., short botanical characters of each plant) will be given. As 

 such information is of much interest, especial attention will be directed to 

 the Lowland and Gaelic names and uses of plants ; and a variety of other 

 interesting matter will serve, it is hoped, to make the "Flora of Perth- 

 shire " useful to the scientific botanist, and, at the same time, not devoid of 

 attraction to the "general reader." 



The Publication Committee of the Society also hope to be enabled to 

 give a few illustrations of notable Perthshire trees, &c. 



Persons intending to subscribe, should send their names, without delay, to 



the Editor, 



Dr. BUCHANAN WHITE, F.L.S., 



PERTH, 



Who will gladly receive any information regarding Perthshire plants. 



All communications to be addressed to the Editor, Dr. Buchanan 

 White, Perth (or, after May 15, Rannoch, Perthshire).
