262 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



appears. In the meanwhile those interested will find various 

 notes, which include mention of some of the rarer Perthshire 

 species, by Mr. Hanbury and other writers in the " Journal 

 of Botany." Personally I may say that I have seen most 

 of the species in a living condition, and can vouch for the 

 correctness of the distribution indicated — the determination 

 of the plants, in the majority of cases, being due to the 

 kindness of Mr. Hanbury. 



The total number of species in the list is 54. Of these 

 West Perth has 16, Mid Perth 48, and East Perth 25. 

 Two are as yet restricted (in Perthshire) to West Perth, 24 

 to Mid Perth, and 3 to East Perth. 



What relation the Perthshire list bears to the British 

 is as yet uncertain ; but it is probable that not less (and very 

 possibly more) than 75 per cent of the British species occur 

 in the county. In the latest (1886) edition of the " London 

 Catalogue " the number of British Hieracia is given as 40, 

 (including 5 naturalised species). Of these 3 r occur in 

 Perthshire. There has thus been in this short period an 

 addition of 23 species to the Perthshire list. 



For convenience of reference I have placed the species 

 in the subjoined list in alphabetical order.
