BOTANICAL NOTES. 261 



I next visited Drummore, a village four miles 

 north of the Mull of Galloway, with the intention 

 of confirming some of the plant-records from that 

 district. Along the Mull Head, and the west coast 

 of Kirkmaiden Parish, I got Astragalus HyjJoglottis, 

 Oxytropis uralensis, Crithmuvi maritiinum, Inula 

 crithnioides, Statice hinervosa vars. occidentalis and 

 intermedia, Mertensia maritima, Euphorbia portland- 

 ica, and Scirpus Savii. I failed, however, to find 

 Brassica monensis, Ononis reclinata, Apium graveolens, 

 A triplex portulacoides, and Malaxis paludosa. Ononis 

 reclinata is in all likelihood now extinct from this 

 its only British station. It has not been gathered 

 for many years on the farm of Cardrain, where 

 Professor Graham discovered it in 1835. 



In continuation of new plant-records for Wig- 

 townshire, I add the following from the neighbour- 

 hood of Drummore : *Polygala vidgaris var. oxyptera, 

 on a bank facing the sea at Drummore. This variety 

 has been found in Scotland previously only near 

 Stirling. *Cerastium semidecandrum, south of Drum- 

 more ; *Sagina maritima var. densa. West Tarbert ; 

 *Spergidaria salina var. media, Port Logan Quay ; 

 *Geranium 2J7-rtfe7ise, High Drummore ; *Trifolium 

 striatum, south of Drummore in plenty; *Vicia 

 lathyroides, in fields south of Drummore ; *Bidens 

 tripartita, Ardwell Mill-dam ; * Erythrcea Centaurium 

 var. pseudo-latifolia { = E. capitata, Koch), on the 

 west coast in plenty; * Mentha aquatica var. suh- 

 glabra, Ardwell Mill-dam ; *Listera co7'data, Inshanks 

 Moor and East Tarbert; *Bromus asper, Grennan 

 Wood and south of Maryport ; *Bro77ivs arvensis, 

 south of Drummore Quay; and *Chara contraria, 

 on the west coast. 



In addition to the above new records, I may 

 include the following Ruhi and Rosce, gathered in 

 1889 by Mr. Charles Bailey, of Manchester : Ruhus 

 rhamnifolius, R. umhrosus, R. Sjoi^engelii (the last 

 was gathered near Newton-Stewart, and is the first 

 record for this bramble in Scotland), Rosa suhcristata 

 R. mollis, and R. subglobosa.
