262 TRANSACTIONS AND PROCEEDINGS OF THE [Sess. LXIV. 



On Monday, the 26tli June, I had the pleasure of the 

 company of the Eev. Dr. Paul, our President, and during our 

 walk we visited the Eoxburghshire Station for A. i^olifolia, 

 near the hillroad to Langholm from Newcastleton. We 

 found the plant, but not in flower, as it was past flowering 

 for the early part of the season. 



Although we continued our walk for a considerable 

 distance across the hills, we were not so fortunate as to 

 discover any other place where A. polifolia grew. 



On 5th August, I visited the Yad Flow, also in 

 Eoxburghshire, which evidently lias derived its name from 

 an old mare that had sunk in it. This station was 

 discovered by Mr. John Elliot, as mentioned in my previous 

 paper, but by mistake its elevation was given as 1000 feet, 

 while it should have been 1250 feet. I found the 

 A. polifolia growing abundantly, but not in flower. My 

 next visit to this Flow was on 2nd October, when, 

 accompanied by my son, we found many plants of A.polifolia 

 in flower, but no fruit, ^ On the same day we also visited 

 the station near the road from Newcastleton to Langholm, 

 and which I have already several times referred to, and 

 there we found the A. 2Jolifolia with flower-buds, in full 

 flower, and with young fruit. This was evidently the second 

 time the plant had been flowering and fruiting this season. 



In the flower border at Kershope House, Kershopefoot, 

 the A. loolifolia flowered, for the second time this season, 

 about the 24th September, and went on flowering for about 

 ten days. 



I observed, at several ] daces where the heather had been 

 burnt this season, that the A. 'polifolia appeared to have 

 been killed, probably owing to its lateral rootlets, running 

 through the peat so near the surface, having been reached 

 by the fire. 



The record of Auchincorth Moss as a station is interesting, 

 as it is probably the farthest east station on the eastern 

 watershed of Scotland. The station in Jura which had 

 been overlooked is also interesting, as it shows a great 

 extension of the plant to the west of Scotland, and 

 indicates it may yet be found at other places in the 

 Hebrides, and perhaps also ujxui the western mainland of 

 Scotland.
