RAREK PLANTS OP THE PARISH OF OLt) KlLfATRICK. 187 



have seen D. anglica, and it is likely soon to 

 disappear as the bog is now being drained. 



Hieraciuin vulgatutn, Fries, var. jn(icnlafii7n, auct, 

 — On the higher rocks, Kilpatrick Hills. Recorded 

 by Kennedy for "Dumbarton," but the exact station 

 is not given. 



Lysiviachia tlnjraijlora, L, — In a small ditch on the 

 north side of the canal between Clydebank and 

 Dalmuir, and in an old lade between the canal and 

 the river, but apparently never Howering. 



Lysiviachia vulgaris, L. A few plants at the 

 mouth of the Dalmuir Burn. Hennedy meiitious 

 " Bowling " as a locality for this species, but it has 

 not recently been seen there or elsewhere in the 

 district than at Dalmuir. 



Borago officinalis, L.— Alien. Oa the bank at 

 Clydebank Railway Station. 



Puhnunaria officinalis, L. — Milton Glen, but no 

 doubt as a garden outcast, although it has been 

 established there for years. 



Echium vulgare, L. — Banks of the Clyde at 

 " Dundonald's Light '' between Kilpatrick and Bow- 

 ling for several successive yeai's, but no doubt an 

 introduction. 



Parietaria officinalis, L. — This plant still grows on 

 the Hawk Craig, Bowling, where it was first seen in 

 1878. I have not observed it in any other locality 

 in the district. 



Neottia Nidus-avis, Rich. — By the side of the 

 Overtoun Burn. Owing, no doubt, to the favourable 

 summer, the flowers were larger this year than any 

 formerly seen. 



* Allium vineale, L., var. bulbiferum, Synie. — Grows 

 freely on Dunglass Castle, Bowling, the station 

 given by Hennedy for A. vineale. Last year a 

 specimen was sent to Mr. A. Bennett, F.L.S., and 

 referred by him to var. hidhiferuDi. 



* Luzula albida, DC. — Alien. Wood at Baruhill, 

 near Overtoun-Milton, where it appears to have 

 been established for a considerable time.
