IV. Remarks on the recent Additions to the Flora of Dumfries- 

 shire and Galloicay. By INIr F. R. Coles. (Abstract.) 

 This paper dealt with such records of new stations and of new 

 species as were strictly additional to those given in the " Flora " 

 compiled by Mr M 'Andrew in 1882. 



Approximately, 120 new stations for plants of such uncommon 

 occurrence as — Ligusticum scoticum, Valeriana dioica, Galium 

 cruciatum, Campamda latifolia, Pyrola minor and P. secunda, 

 Scrophularia Balhisii, Orobanche major, Ltjcopus Furopo'us, 

 Utricularia intermedia and U. minor, Epipactis latifolia, Listera 

 cordata, Typha latifolia, and Cladium mariscus were recorded. 

 The following list comprises all the authentic new species : — 

 Under Ranuncidus aquatilis, which, in the Stewartry, at anyrate, 

 is a frequent inhabitant of slow streams, ponds, lochs, and 

 marshes, we have R. peltatus var. truncatus a,\\A v&r.Jloribundtis; 

 R. diversifolius var. Godronii, R. Drouetti, R. trichophyllus, and 

 the variety of R. peltatus known a&fssifolitcs. 



With the addition of Cochlearia anglica near Creetown ; 

 C. danica at Colvend ; the vars. littoralis and alpina in Borgue 

 and Shinnel Burn districts respectively, the entire group of the 

 Scurvy grasses is represented. 



Among Violacece, the substitution of the V. sylvatica (Fries.) 

 as the correct name of thephint recorded as canina, and generally 

 so-called, led to the establishment of its sub-species, favicornis 

 (Forst.) and Riviniana, which, though a real gain of two new 

 plants, set us a-hunting for the true Linna?an V. canina. Mr 

 Coles was fortunate enough to find a few specimens of this much 

 rarer species on the banks of the Dee below Threave. Polygala 

 depressa is frequent on the coast of Kirkcudbright. 



Of Caryophyllaceous plants, there were only two to notice— 

 Cerastium semidecandrum, found by Rev. J. Fraser in Colvend, 

 and the rare annual form pentandru,m of C. triviale, found by 

 Mr Coles at Ravenshall. A very interesting discovery was made 

 on an excursion by Messrs M'Andrew and Coles among the 

 Carsphairn hills, where, in a mossy old ditcli, some 1800 or 1900 

 feet high, specimens of the var. integrifolia of Saxifraga stellaris 

 were collected, a form hitherto known only on Ben Wyvis. 



Of the genus Callitriche, we now had C. platycarpa (Kiitz.), 

 stagnalis (Scop.), hamulata (Kutz.), and autnmnalis, L. in Kirk-
