154 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 



Poterium Sangnisorha, L.— Very rare; apparently 

 confined to the sides of the railway-cutting and 

 embankment between Dalmuir and Old Kilpatrick 

 stations, where it is cut down with the grass every 

 summer. Not included in the Clydesdale Flora. 



Circiva alpina, L.— Rare ; recorded for West Kil- 

 bride on the authority of Dr. Landsborough. 



Shun an gust if oil urn, L. — Cardross ; plentiful in a 

 ditch near Chapelton, West Kilbride. Not included 

 in the Chjdesdale Flora. 



Cardnns crispus, L. — Common in the neighbour- 

 hood of Glasgow, but rather rare at West Kilbride, 

 where it seems to be confined to one or two spots 

 along the shore from Fairlie southwards. 



Matricaria Chaviomilla, L.— Rare ; a few plants 

 grew last autumn on the canal-bank between Old 

 Kilpatrick and Bowling, associated with M. indora. 



Anthemis arvensis, L. — Rare ; corn-fields near Sea- 

 mill. 



Hieraciiiin aurantiaciim, L. — Not indigenous, but 

 occurring as a garden escape in several places. Mr. 

 D. Farquhar informs me that it grows freely on 

 the raihvay embankment behind Old Kilpatrick 

 parish church. 



Campanula latifolia, L. — Locally common in the 

 district. In many of the moist woods and glens 

 near Glasgow, the tall racemes of this handsome 

 phmt are conspicuous in summer ; but at West Kil- 

 bride it appears to be rare. 



Oxycoccos po/j/6'^r/s, Pers. — Local ; occurs very 

 sparingly in the marsh on Knockewart Hill, and on 

 tlie adjacent moor. 



Coitiaua campesfris, L,. — Frequent; although pre- 

 eminently a plant of elevated pastures and breezy 

 liillsides, I have gathered small specimens on the 

 sand-hills at Stevenston railway-station, most of 

 them stunted owing to the dryness of the sand on 

 which tliey were growing. 



Conco/r}(lus arveusis, L.-Rare in the district. 

 IMentit'ul on the roadside opposite Dalnottar House,
