Transactions. 133 



77 species (or rather most of them), we may discuss how far on 

 present knowledge they are hkely to be natives of the three 

 Scotch counties, as many really seem to have as fair claims to 

 notice as they do in the two English counties named above. They 

 are : 



Humului lupulus. — I doubt much if this can be held certainly 

 native north of the Midland Counties of England ; but it seems as 

 well established in South Scotland as in North England. 



Arundo calamagroslis. — This has been gathered by Mr 

 M'Andrew in Kirkcudbright, as a native plant. This is, however, 

 still to the south of the English station, " near Alnwick, Cheviot- 

 land." 



Mcenchia erecta. — No Scottish record as a native, or as an 

 alien (?), but I see no reason why one of the three counties should 

 not produce it ; extends to Cheviotland ; an early flowerer on 

 sunny grassy banks. 



Euphorbia amygdaloides. — Cheviotland. Li the Transactions 

 for 1891-2, p. 13, this species is reported by Mr Scott-Elliot for 

 " Cowhill." This interested me greatly, and I got Dr Traill of 

 Aberdeen, when at Kew, to discuss it with Mr Scott-Elliot and 

 myself, but he acknowledged it could not be held native at Cow- 

 hill, It loves the sunny edges of woods on limestone, and in 

 Surrey grows with Myosotis sylvatica, a species that extends 

 north to Kincardine, and the South Hebrides. 



Juncus diffusus. Cheviotland. Perth only in Scotland. 



Verbena officinalis. — Reported from Fife. 



Agrimonia odorata. — Here we have a distinct advance north- 

 wards hi records. Kirkcudbright (Prof. Oliver) ; Stirling (Craig- 

 Christie) ; Clyde Isles (Syme). 



Orchis morio. — Cheviotland, Cumberland. Reported from 

 Edinburgh and Orkney. I look for this as a plant of Southern 

 Scotland ; it grows in Sweden in at least four of the southern 

 provinces ; in Norway, near the sea ; but not in Finland. In 

 Denmark in at least three of the islands. 



AtrojHt Belladonna. — Cheviotland only as a denizen. 



Helviintha echoides. — Here again an advance northwards. 

 Berwick (Cleghorn) ; Roxburgh (Brotherston) ; Haddington 

 (Syme). 



Solarium nigrim. — Wigton, Balfour. In several counties as 

 an introduced plant.
