14 The Scottish Naturalist. 



Oxytropis campestris, L., found on a rock in Glen Dole, in 

 Clova, in 1812. 



Rosa Doniana, Woods (variety of R. involuta, Sm.), distin- 

 guished by Don from its habit, before it was characterised by 

 systematists. 



Saxifraga platypetala, Sm. (S. hypnoides, L. var., sponhemica, 

 Gmel.), in the Clova mountains. 



Mulgedium alpinum, L. (Lactuca alpina, Benth.) Don 

 must have the honour of adding to our flora this handsome 

 species ; for though he himself refers to an earlier record, the 

 plant referred to in it was clearly an error, Cichorium intybus 

 having been mistaken for this plant. 



Myosotis repens, Don, was first discriminated as a British 

 plant by Don ; and 



Laniium intermedium, Fries, was another of his discoveries. 



Salix nigricans, Sm. var., rupestris, Sm., and Salix lanata, 

 L., were both discovered by Don, though Drummond is 

 generally credited with the latter. 



Polygonatum verticillatum, All, is mentioned in the Flora 

 Scotica as discovered by Mr. Bruce, but it was first found by 

 Don, as he claims in a letter to Winch, and as is correctly 

 stated by Withering. 



Juncus balticus, Willd, is generally said to have been dis- 

 covered by Drummond on the sands of Barrie, but in Don's 

 herbarium are specimens gathered long before. 



Luzula arcuata, D.C., was added by him to the British flora 

 from the tops of the Cairngorm mountains. 



Eriophorum alpinum, L. (Fasc, No. 26), found in 1791 

 near Forfar, by Don ; was destroyed during his lifetime, by 

 drainage. 



Carex rariflora, Sm., is another of his discoveries (in 1807), 

 from the Clova mountains ; as was also 



Carex vaginata, Tausch, m 1802. 



Alopecurus alpinus, Sm., was discovered by him on the high 

 tableland of Lochnagar. 



Calamagrostis Stricta, Nutt, (Deyeuxia neglecta, Kunth), dis- 

 covered in 1S07 in the White Mire, near Forfar, is said to 

 have been destroyed by drainage ; but it may yet be found 

 about Restennet or Rescobie. 



Aira laevigata, Sm. (Deschampsia azspitosa^ Beauv, subsp., 

 alpina, R. & S.), was first found in Britain by Don, in 1808,
