THE DISAPPEAEANCE OF BRITISH PLANTS. 86l 



39. Trollius eiiropmis, L. Extinct in Mid- Aberdeen, &c. (W. W. 

 and J. M.). 



52. Nymplima alba, L. Almost extirpated from lochs in the 

 district round Dumfries by a dealer (J. W.). Has disappeared 

 from the district of Birnie, near Elgin, by drainage (G. and T. A.). 



58. Meconojjsis cambrica, Vig. Believed to be extirpated from 

 banks of Water of Leith and Currie, Midlothian (G. A. P.). 



59. Glaucium Jlavum, Crantz. Recorded in 1776 for seashore 

 at Bay of Nigg, near Aberdeen, but not since 1800 (J. W. H. T.). 

 Found sixty years ago at Montrose Links ; not now (R. B.). 



184. Dianthus Jrmeria, L. Occurred, though not abundantly, 

 in rough pasture near Glencarse Station, Perthshire ; has been 

 entirely destroyed through the cultivation of the ground (F. B. W.). 

 This was one of its most northern stations. 



207. Lychnis Viscaria,Ij. Blackford Hill, Midlothian ; now very 

 rare (G. A. P.). Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh ; supposed to be 

 extirpated (G. A. P.). 



208. Lychnis aljnna, L. Is now becoming rare in its habitats on 

 Clova Mountains (G. A. P.). 



263. Hypericum jjerfuratum, L. Formerly grew plentifully near 

 Cromarty Nursery, but has ceased to exist, as the ground is now 

 used for agricultural purposes (T. A.). This was one of its most 

 northern stations. 



264. Hypericum quadrangulum, L. Has wholly disappeared 

 from the vicinity of Fortrose, Ross-shire, having been eaten by 

 cattle or trodden down (T. A.). This was one of its most northern 

 stations. 



368. Lotus pilosus,Beeke. Extinct round Alford, Mid- Aberdeen- 

 shire, from cultivation (W. W.). 



374. Oxytropis uralensis, DC. Grew in abundance near Inver- 

 gordon, Ross-shire, but on one occasion the medical man of the 

 town saw a man digging it up with a trowel, and it is now extinct 

 (T. A.). 



375. Oxytropis campestns, DC. Rocks at Bradoony, Clova ; 

 now very rare ; extirpated from all accessible parts of the rocks 

 (G. A. P.).- 



406. Lathyrus niyer, Wimm. Has well-nigh disappeared from 

 its station at Killiecrankie Pass owing to the late guide to the Pass 

 showing it to all tourists. An appeal to the proprietor might save 

 the rest of the specimens, of which very few stations exist (F. B. W.). 



501. Ayrimonia Eupatoria, L. Becoming very scarce in Glen 

 Urquhart, Inverness-shire (Gr.). This was one of its most northern 

 stations. 



525. Pyrus Aria, Sm. One specimen only (? P. fennica, L.) 

 know^n in Arran ; now lost through injury (G. A. P.). Lost also 

 from one or two other stations on the Western Highlands, and now 

 very rare in Scotland. 



* [The locality of this plant is Glen Dole — not Bradoony, which is at the 

 mouth of Glen Dole. It was not " extirpated from all accessible parts of the 

 rocks " during last summer, though a well-known botanist did his best to make the 

 above statement true. — Geo. Murray.]
