LUNULARIA cRUCIATA (L.) Dum. 
In the East Lowlands this species is widely distributed in 
gardens, and when these gardens are situated close to a 
ravine, Lunularia spreads into this ravine and frequently 
occurs in abundance, becoming naturalised among the 
other vegetation ; so much so, that those who do not know 
the history of the species invariably consider it to be 
anative. Ifa garden is not at the present time close to 
such ravine, the evidence of former habitations is to be 
found. On the other hand, it has not been found in any 
of the ravines remote from present or past habitations. In 
the West Lowlands the species has only been found near 
gardens and houses and adjoining waste places, with the 
exception of one locality where a specimen was found 
“about a mile from houses.” The naturalisation of alien 
Southern plants in the east and not in the west of Scotland 
occurs also in the case of phanerogams. Its distribution near 
the coast in the East Highlands is not well known. It 
appears to be rare, as, among the numerous hepatics which 
I have seen from that district, Lwnularia has only been 
sent to me on two occasions, both of the localities being 
near habitations. In the central districts of this province 
the species is rare and has also been found only in or near 
gardens and waste places. In the West Highlands it is 
very rare and has only been found in or alongside gardens 
near houses. The only locality in which I have seen it in 
West Inverness is in a greenhouse, in flower-pots with ferns
