Wigtownshire. 



In July, 1890, the Rev. James Gorrie, Free Church 

 Manse, Sorbie, and I added to the Flora of Wigtown- 

 shire the following plants denoted by an asterisk : 



In Capenoch Moss, near Whauphill, we gathered 

 *Drosera intermedia; a *UtricnIaria, which, if found 

 in flower, may turn out to be U. Bremii ; *Scirpiis 

 fiuitans; *Carex (Eder-i.lEhrh.; and * Selaginella selagin- 

 oides. Near Sorbie village we found *Ranuncuhis 

 bulbosus, * Erophila vulgaris, and *Habena7'ia hifolia. 

 At Dowalton Loch (drained) we gathered * Utricidaria 

 vulgaris, *Polypodium Dryopteris, *Lycopodiuin Selago, 

 and *Nitella opaca ; and w^e saw growing at the farm 

 of Stonehouse the following ferns which had been 

 taken from the same loch : * Polypodiuvi Phegopteris, 

 *Polystichuvi acideatuvi, *P. lobatum, and *Cystopteris 

 fragilis. At White Loch, Ravenstone, we got *Radiola 

 Millegrana. In addition to the above, Mr. Gorrie 

 has found * Saxifraga granulata in the grounds of 

 Galloway House, and *Hyoscyavius niger in Rigg Bay, 

 south of Garliestown. 



The wetness of the season prevented us from 

 properly searching Dowalton Loch, but around its 

 margin we found Ranuiicidus sceleratus, Sagina 

 nodosa, Filago germanica, Cryptogramme crispa,. 

 Ophioglossum vulgatum, etc.
