 has kept its ground. Oenanthe Crocata (Hemlock -Water Drop-

 and has left no traces. Hedera Helix (Common Ivy) has been 

 found by me growing at a height of upwards of iooo feet above 

 the sea. Lonicera periclymenum (Honeysuckle) is still found in

 have been found ; it occurs on the open moors among heather.

 (Great Wild Valerian) has also been added to our flora. Fedia 

 olitoria (Common Corn Salad), found by the late Dr. Farquarson,
