which apparently marks the margin of its area of 

 growth."* 



* Nuphar intermedium, auct. angl. — Rare. Lily 

 Loch, Kilpatrick Hills. This plant may readily be 

 distinguished from N. pumiliivi, Sni., by its larger size, 

 as well as by the form of the stigma. In A^. inter- 

 medium the stigmatic rays scarcely reach the waved 

 margin of the stigma, while in N. pumila the rays 

 extend to the margin, which is distinctly lobed. Not 

 previously recorded for the West of Scotland. The 

 only localities mentioned by Hooker are Northumber- 

 land and East Perth. 



Hesperis matronalis, L. — Alien. This plant, pointed 

 out to me by Mr. Tawse, was growing on the walls 

 of an old cottage at Milton, where it had no doubt 

 been cultivated by a former tenant. 



Silene Cncubalus, Wibel, var. puberula, Syme. — 

 Near the banks of the Clyde, between Dalmuir 

 and Kilpatrick; and on the side of the road to 

 Duntocher. 



* Sagina apetala, L.— Rare. On rocks at the west 

 end of Bowling. Hennedy remarks : " The .S. apetala 

 described in the district by Hopkirk and Patrick 

 is S^. subulata" ; and the reason why this plant so 

 long escaped notice may be that it does not remain 

 long in seed, and soon withers away on the dry 

 rocks where it grows. 



Malva moschata, L.— Not common, although locally 

 abundant on the banks of the Clyde between 

 Dalmuir and Kilpatrick, as well as on Dumbuck, 

 Duuglass, and Dumbarton Rock, which is Hennedy 'a 

 station. 



Potentilla reptans, L.— Rare. On the roadside 

 between Dalmuir and Duntocher, where it grows 

 along the hedge-bank, but the long - peduncled 

 flowers soon shed their petals. 



Drosera anglica, Huds.— In a peat-bog near Edin- 

 barnet, to the right of the sheep-farm on the 

 Kilpatrick Hills. This is the only spot where I
