48 Transactions, 
have meant the same plant as he did. Sawssawrea Alpina, D.C., 
has at least three stations in the district, one of them being in 
Blackshope. Hieraciwm pallidum I gathered two years ago at 
Craigmichen. Scaurs, and Hieraciwm Lricwm, Fr., Blackshope, 
Grey Mare’s Tail, &c., was gathered by the Messrs Linton last 
summer as it had formerly been by Mr J. Backhouse (see mono- 
graph). The Pyrolas media, Swartz, and minor, L., are fairly 
common in our linns. While I know only one station for the 
rare Pyrola secunda, L., which I gathered in flower at the end of 
June this year for the first time, at a new station between 8 and 
9 miles distant from any of its previous recorded stations, at 
which places it is not now to be found. Myosotis cespitosa, 
Schultz, common in-all the springy places on the hills and damp 
roadsides. Stachys betonica, Benth., I only gathered on Septem- 
ber 7th for the first time, also at a new station. There would be 
less than a dozen plants of it growing at this place, and it is not 
now found at its previous recorded stations. Polygonwm vivi- 
parum, L., rocks at Loch Skene, where it was gathered by Mr 
Scott-Elliot in the month of July thissummer. Oxyria reniformus, 
Hook, one of the commonest plants in Blackshope, Corrieferron, 
Grey Mare’s Tail. I note that in the Society list this plant is 
favoured with four different authorities ; while this plant, along 
with polygonwm viviparum, are claimed as new records for 
Dumfries in 1888. (See proceedings of the Botanical Society for 
1888 ; notes on the records of Scottish plants for 1888, by A. 
Bennet, Esq.) Carex Atrata, L., and Carex Capillaris, L.—these 
rave Carices were re-discovered hy Mr Linton near Loch Skene 
in July this year. I observed Atrata at the same place in 
September, but Capillaris had seemingly died down, as I did not 
see it. Carex Rigida, very common on the very top of Hartfell. 
Of plants found here which have no station given in the Society 
list from here are such plants as :—Muwmaria Capreolata and F, 
Officinalis, corn fields and waste ground ; Corydalis claviculata, 
D.C., common in woods; Silene inflata, Sm., railway embank- 
ment and at Hunterheck ; Lychnis Vespertina, railway embank- 
ment ; Sagina nodosa, Meyer, Craigmichen Scaurs.—Geraniwm 
Lucidum, L., found growing on rocks at the Deil’s Beef Tub— 
the specimens gathered there are very small; it also occurs on 
the Selkirk roadside, nearly 34 miles from Moffat. Ulex Galli, 
Planche, sandbed, Annan Water, Nethermill ground, and Com
