surely. Eare in Finland. Nortli to Verniland, in Sweden. Per- 

 liaps doubtful for Norway. 



Reseda lutea. — To be looked for. Doubted as Scotch native, but 

 Dr B. White thinks it may be so in Perthshire. 



Viola Reichenhachiana. — On record for Perth and Shetland only, but 

 it surely occurs in the south. Flower generally smaller, spurblue, 

 smaller, and more tapering. 



Cerastium aqiuiticum. — Confused with C. nemorum 1 Will surely be 

 found as a native in S. Scotland. Sparingly in Norway. In 

 Sweden I'arely in Gefleborgs Ian. In southern Finland. 



Rhamnus catharticus, L. — Watson queries this for Dumfries, and Mr 

 M'Andrew adds " perhaps introduced." Sparingly in southern 

 Norway. In Sweden north to Gefleborgs Ian. In Finland rare in 

 Aland Islands, and the extreme south-western corner near Abo. 

 R. Frangula, L. — Much more plentiful, and farther north. 



Trifoliuvi scabrum. — To be sought for ; T. striatum gathered in 

 Wigton by Mr M'Andrew. These clovers require to be looked for 

 in June ; they soon become burnt up with continuous dry weather. 



T. fUforme, L. — Recorded for Roxburgh, and sent me from Inver- 

 ness last year by Mr A. Somerville ; here again, this must be 

 sought early in June, it must be more frequent than recorded. 

 Occurs rarely in South Norway. In Sweden to West Gotland. 

 Not recorded fi'om Finland where T. spadiceuin, L., and T. agrarium, 

 L. take the place of our procumbens and minus. 



Lathyrus palustris, L — Recorded for " Galloway," Wigton, but 

 no recent confirmation of this species as a Scottish plant. In 

 England it occurs north to Yorkshire ; but it is distributed nearly 

 over the whole of Sweden to Lapland ; in Norway ; and in 23 (out 

 of 28) of the botanical provinces of Finland. It may be its 

 habitat has been destroyed by drainage, as it is essentially a 

 marsh plant. 



Sibbaldia procumbens. — Watson records tliis doubtfully for Dumfries. 

 I do not find it mentioned in Mr M'Andrew's list. It occurs 

 below 1500 feet in Shetland. It seems to be certainly found in 

 Peebles, so its occurrence is not unlikely on the higher ground 

 around Hartfell, tfec. 



Rosa involuta, Sm. — I know of no record of this, but it occurs in 

 Cumberland, Lanark, and Berwick, and will likely be found. 



Silaus pratensis. — Should be sought for ; occurs in Cumberland 

 and Berwick. Very rare in Sweden. Not recorded for Norway 

 or Finland, but in Scotland to Fife and Edinburgh. 



Pob/gomim mite. — No record for Scotland ; but I do not see why it 

 sliould be absent. Fairly disti-ibuted over Sweden and Finland,
