EXCURSIONS TO BUTE AND CUMBRAE. 79 
Gnaphalium sylvaticum, while lower down in the marshy ground 
Anagallis tenella was very plentiful, and Pinguicula lusitanica was 
not uncommon. 
On the border land, between the shore and the higher ground, 
in the marshy places were found Hypericum elodes, Triglochin 
maritimum, T. palustre, Alisma rununculoides, and Juncus uliginosus, 
form viviparus. 
The shore being reached, eager anticipations were once more 
satisfied. Samolus Valerandi, Ligusticum Scoticum, Salicornia 
herbacea, Mertensia maritima (the oyster plant), Cnanthe 
Lachenatit turned up in quick succession among the plants. A 
specimen of the seaweed Odonthalium dentatum was found, but 
not in good condition. 
On the rocks we got Asplenuim maritimum, and A. Adiantum- 
nigrum. 
The time running short the shore was left, and all made for 
the high road to Rothesay. On the way a fine plant of Daucus 
Carota was noted. What gave great pleasure was the finding, during 
the day, of five species of Hypericum in flower, viz.:—ZH. elodes, 
perforatum, quadrangulum, humifusum, and Androsemum. 
The last thing noted was a fine mushroom, Agaricus arvensis, 
which was found growing in the grass by the roadside.
