BOTANICAL NOTES FROM GALLOWAY For 1896, 73 
- pubescens, Huds.; 3. Potamogeton pectinatus, Linn., west of 
Southerness. I was fortunate in being able to confirm Scirpus 
Tabernceemontani, Gmel., for Kirkcudbrightshire. It grows in 
abundance west of Southerness and also north of the mouth of 
Kirkbean Burn. Near Kirkbean I also confirmed Leontodon 
hispidus, Linn., for this county. At Southerness I failed to find 
Lepturus filiformis, Trin., var. incwrvatus (Trin.), Brassica 
monensis, Huds., and Convolvulus Soldanella, Linn. These plants 
were formerly gathered in this locality. Drassica monensis, Huds., 
seems to be extinct from both Wigtownshire and Kirkcudbright- 
shire. Apiuwm graveolens, Linn., Juncus obiusiflorus, Ebrh., 
Scrophularia aquatica, Linn., and Ruppia rostellata, Koch, still 
hold their ground near the Needle’s Eye, Colvend. Criffel I found 
very unproductive. Along the Arbigland shore are Ononis 
spinosa, Linn., Sanguisorba officinalis, Linn., Calamintha Clino- 
podium, Spenn., Potentilla reptans, Linn, &c.; in Arbigland 
Woods I got Lpipactis latifolia, All.; near Kirkbean, Alliwm 
carinatum, Linn., Claytonia alsinoides, Sims, Blysmus compressus, 
Panz., Senecio viscosus, Linn., Tragopogon pratensis, Linn. ; in 
Kirkbean Glen were Milium effusum, Linn., Bromus asper, Murr., 
_ Festuca gigantea, Vill., Melica uniflora, Retz., Carex sylvatica, 
_ Huds., and Polystichwm lobatum, Presl. It is strange’ that none 
_ of the following littoral plants has been recorded from Dumfries- 
shire, though several of them occur in Kirkcudbrightshire, on the 
_ opposite side of the River Nith. The reason, probably, is the 
unsuitability of the shore. The plants I mean are: Senebiera 
Coronopus, Poiret, Scirpus Tabernceemontani, Gmel., Ligusticum 
scoticum, Linn., Crithmum maritimum, Linn., Inula crithmoides, 
Linn., Pulicaria dysenterica, Gertn., Mertensia maritima, Don, 
_ Beta maritima, Linn., Atriplex laciniata, Linn., Zostera marina, 
 Linn., Ruppia rostellata, Koch, Sueda maritima, Dum., Crambe 
maritima, Linn., Carex arenaria, Linn., Geranium sanguinewm, 
‘Linn, Again, the following plants, though occurring in the 
unties of Kirkcudbright or Wigtown, have not yet been recorded 
for Dumfries:—ZHypericum elodes, Linn., Pinguicula lusitanica, 
x inn., Scutellaria minor, Huds., Vicia lathyroides, Linn., Scirpus 
fluitans, Linn., &ce. Attention requires to be directed to the 
existence or non-existence in the district of such plants as the 
following, which were recorded about fifty or sixty years ago :—
