Botanical Notes fou 1899. 107 



I noticed in (Jorsewall grounds was the grass Calamagrostis 

 epigeios, Roth, which grows at the north end of the wood in 

 plenty. I have already recorded it from two stations near Port- 

 patrick. The lichen Endocarpon ininiatum was xaxy plentiful on 

 the rocks along- ihe edge of the wood. From (Joi'sewall Light- 

 house eastwards ai'e found the common littoial plants. Ligus- 

 tiaim scoticum, Linn., was in plenty, but the rarest plant I saw 

 on that shore was Sedutn roseum. Scop, (roseroot), found in two 

 places. The only other station I know in Wigtownshire for this 

 hill plant is at the mouth of the Craigoch Burn, Portpatrick. The 

 Hepatic, Riccia glaucescens, Carr, was seen here in abundance. 

 Orchis hitifoUa, Linn., Sagifia nodosa, Fen/,1., Avena pubescent 

 Huds., Radiola linoides. Both, Pulicaria dysenterka, Gaertn., &c., 

 were other uncommon plants along- this shore. Li Dally Bay, on 

 the west shore, the two best plants seen were Catabrosa aquatica, 

 Beauv., in abundance, and Geranium prate/ise, Linn., in fair 

 quantity. With the exception of some plants of this Geranium in 

 Galloway House grounds, found by the Rev. James Gorrie, Soi'bie, 

 the only other station I know for it in Wigtownshire, and there 

 only as a single plant, is at High Drummore. It may be inciden- 

 tally mentioned tlmt Geranium sylvalicum, Linn., has not yet 

 been recorded for Wigtownshire. About Moffat, for example, 

 both species are very common. \\\ Aldouran Glen and about 

 Lochnaw I saw abundance of Sfel/aiia neniornm, Linn., recorded 

 by Mr G. C. Druce, as also Melica uniflora, Retz., and Phegopieris 

 polypodioides. Pee (beech fern). These I did not notice on a 

 former visit to Lochnaw. I may mention that the other Melic 

 grass, Melica nutans, Linn., has not yet been recorded for Wig- 

 townshire. Galium mullugo, Linn., gi'ows in several places near 

 Leswalt. 



KIliKOUDBIIIGHTSHIEE. 



I found Luzitla albida, as an escape or an outcast in the 

 woods of Corsock House. The moss Thuidium delicatulum. Mitt., 

 I found this summer in Glenlee Glen and other places, and very 

 probably it is quite connnon. Now that attention has been 

 directed to this moss, it has turned up in many districts of 

 England and Scotland. 



In conclusion, I may refer to the excellent discovery last 

 summer of the Northern Holy Grass, Hierochloe horeaHs, R. & S. ,
