Eecoeds of Scottish Plants in 1890. By Arthur 

 Bennett, Croydon. 



Following lip the resume I gave last year of the plants 

 recorded from " additional counties " in Scotland during 

 1889, I now notice the principal ones of 1890. 



There are two plants to record that have not been re- 

 ported for Scotland before, though one of these was found in 

 1889, i.e., Ruhus SiJrengelli, in Wigton and Kirkcudbright, by 

 Mr C. Bailey of Manchester, and determined by Mr J. G. 

 Baker of Kew. 



The other, Utrimdaria negleda, Lehm., was gathered in 

 Dumfries by Mr J. Cowie, and sent to me by Mr J. Ting- 

 land. This is sparsely distributed over the south and south- 

 central portion of England. The nearest county to Scotland 

 I have seen specimens from is Cheshire, gathered by the late 

 Mr A. Croall of Stirling. 



Commencing with the south, Dumfries has yielded — either 

 as new records or confirmations of old reports — some very 

 interesting species, the principal of which are : — Potentilla 

 alpestris, Saxifraga nivalis, Hieracium sparsifoliuTn and 

 argcntewm, Malaxis paludosa, Carcx atrata, and C. pulla. 



Kirkcudbright — Vicia lutea and Ruhus Sprengelli. 



Mr M'Andrew has continued his examination of Wigton, 

 and added many species, among them Vicia lutea, Rosa 

 mollis, Utricularia vulgaris, and perhaps U. Bremii. 



For Ayr, Mr L. Watt has gathered Carcx Bocnninghaiisiana. 



To Stirling a very large number have been added — 

 seventy-six species, besides many others that are escapes ; 

 and Colonel Stirling and Mr E. Kidston have lilled up a large 

 number of desiderata to its flora. 



The three Perth vice-counties show a few additions — Poa 

 nemoralis at 3000 feet on Ben Lawers, (P. Ewing !) takes 

 this species 1400 feet higher than on record hitherto. 



To Westerness (W. Inverness) Mr S. Macvicar has added 

 forty-five species, Nuphar intermedium, Vicia Orohus, Ery- 

 thrcea littoralis, and Orolanche rubra being among the most 

 interesting. 



To Dumbarton Mr L. Watt has added eleven species ; to 

 E. Ross, ]\iessrs Marshall and Hanbury, thirty-six species,
