Botanical Kecoeds for 1896. 11 



vulgaris, Epilobiums angustifolium, parviflorum. and hirsutum ; 

 Wild celery, Jicncus obtusiflorus, in great abundance, Scrophularia 

 aqualica, Gipsy wort, and Ruppia rostellata are still about the 

 Needle's Eye in Colvend ; Myrrhis odoraia. Hop plant, Convol- 

 vulus, Poteiitilla reptans, Galium cruciatitm, were in abundance; 

 on the roadside at Caveus I confirmed Leontodoii hispidus for 

 Kirkcudbrightshire. Along the Arbigland shore I gathered Black 

 medick, Mullein. Ononis spinosa, Sanguisorba officinalis. Wild 

 marjoram, Calatnintha clinopodium, Arabis hirsuia, Horned poppy 

 and Sea holly getting very scarce. In the Arbigland Woods I 

 saw Moneywort, Teasel, Periwinkle. Epipactis latifolia, Carex 

 remota, i&c ; near Southerness, Teesdalia iiudicaulis ; in Kirkconnel 

 Moss, Drosera intermedia and Andromeda polifolia ; near Kirk- 

 bean, Rammculus floribundus, Allium catinatum, and Claytonia 

 alsinoides, a North American plant fast becoming naturaUzed ; 

 near Carsethorn, Genista tinctoria, Blysmus compressus, and Senecio 

 viscosus ; Wild succory has been got near Kirkbean ; Valeriatia 

 pyrenaica in Kirkbean Churchyard. I did not see Bromus erectus 

 in Newabbey Churchyard, neither did I see Inula crithmoides nor 

 Puncaria dysenierica from Arbigland. Goat's beard is occasionally 

 got. On Criffel, which is rather unproductive in plants, I gathered 

 Lycopodium selago, Vaccinium Vitis-ida'a, but not Saiix herbacea, 

 which I expected to find there. In Kirkbean Glen I got Cam- 

 patiula lati/olia, Stellaria nemorum, Carex sylvatica, Milium 

 effusum, Festuca gigantea, Melica uniflora, Bromus asper, and 

 Poiystichum lobatum. On Criffel I gathered the mosses Rhabdoiv- 

 eissia denticulata, Racomitrium ellipticuni, ffyp?ium giganteum, 

 Byruin alpinum, Zieria julacea, anrl the rare Rhabioweissia cren- 

 ulatus and the Hepatics Blepharozia ciliaris, Diplophyllum 

 Dicksoni, and Lophozia incisa ; in Kirkconnel Moss, Mylia 

 anomala ; in Kirkbean Burn, Anomodon viticulosum, Hypnum 

 depressum; and in Preston Mill Glen, Hypnum fluviatile. West 

 of Southerness I gathered Hypnimi lutescens, the first record of 

 this moss for Kirkcudbrightshire. The Hepatic Lophozia capitata 

 is also a new record for the Bennan Ilill, Kirkcudbrig-htshire. I 

 may also add Hedivigia ciliata, var. striata, for New Galloway. I 

 got Poa trivialis, var. Kceleri^ near New Galloway. 



In conclusion, I would desire to remark that in looking over 

 Mr G. P. Scott-Elliot's " Flora of Dumfriesshire," which is a very 

 complete record of the plants of the three south-western counties.
