near Banff, It was formerly cultivated as medicinal in 
Britain. ; 
Lithospermum arvenst 1. confounded with JZ. officinale in the 
Guide, is a doubtful native. It has been found in old 
bed of the Dee (T. E. 1883), and near Bridge of Don 
(J. Reps . 
L. officinale L., Banchory-Ternan (J. T.); also a doubtful native. 
Anchusa sempervirens L. 
Borago officinalis L., on rubbish heap on the Links (1878, J. T-), 
also in Methlie and Cullen(D.). 
Echinospermum Lappula Lem. was found, as a casual, in a sand 
pit near Old Aberdeen (1878, J. aye 
Symphytum asperrimum Bieb. was found on roadside at Echt 
(1879, J. T.). 
S. officinale L., probably a relic of former cultivation. 
Cynoglossum officinale \.. , 
Beta vulgaris L. is recorded from Inch at Aberdeen (D.). 
Chenopodium Bonus-Henricus L. is not rare near houses and by 
roadsides; formerly cultivated as a pot-herb. 
Atriplex littoralis L., on Inch near Aberdeen (D.). 
Polygonum Bistorta L. grows in many places, but is probably a 
relic of former cultivation. It easily establishes itself. 
Urtica dioica L. and U. urens L. are markedly associated with man, 
though now far too abundant, especially the former species, 
hence we infer that they have probably been introduced 
unwittingly in past ages by man into the North of Scot- 
land. 
_Parictaria officinalis L. is not very scarce on old ruins (D.), on 
which it had once been planted. I have it from Inverugie, 
and from Tolquhon Castle. 
Humulus Lupulus. 
Ulmus montana Sm. and U. suberosa Ehrh, are not rare, but only 
as planted trees, or descended from planted trees. 
Castanea vulgaris L. is not scarce, ¢.g. at Benholme, Cults, &c. ; 
but only where originating from planted trees. 
Fagus sylvatica L., though very common, has no claim to be 
native. 
Carpinus Betulus L., to this the same remarks apply. 
Populus alba L. and P. nigra, L. are both rather common, but 
nowhere native.
