Leontodon Taraxacum, Aparg-ia autuvviuUs, Ilierac'mm P'llo-

 Lapsana communis, Cuicus laiiceolatiis, C. palustris, C. arven-

 S. Jacvbcea, S. palustris, BelUs perennis, Fyrethruvi inodorum, 

 AchillcBa Millefolium, A. Ptarmica, Centaurea nigra, C. Cya- 

 nus. The above, I repeat, are all the common plants belong- 

 ing to the order Compositae found in the Aberdeenshire district. 

 Now, of these every one is abundant around Edinburgh ; and 

 they are likewise all considered common in the vicinity of Paris, 

 with the single exception ol Hieracium paludosum. which is not 

 there to be met with. 



The following list comprehends all the plants of the order 

 Labiatae, which are decidedly common in the Aberdeenshire 

 tract : Ajuga reptans, Teucrium Scorodoma^ Mentha hirsuta, 

 M. arvensis, Lammm purpureum, L. amplexicaule, Galeopsis 

 Tetrahit, G. versicolor, Stachys sylvatica, S. palustris, Thymus 

 Serpyllurn, Prunella vidgaris. Of these plants, every one is 

 common near Edinburgh ; and, with the exception of Galeopsis 

 versicolor, which is wanting, all of them appear to be abundant 

 in the environs of Paris. 



I shall next notice the important order Leguminosas ; but it 

 is unnecessary to continue to set down names. It is enouo-h to 

 say, that all the Aberdeenshire species are common near Paris ; 

 and the same are met with abundantly in tlie vicinity of Edin- 

 burgh ; unless Genista Anglica, which in that situation is rare. 



The common plants in the Aberdeenshire district belonging 

 to the orders Cruciferae, Umbelliferae, Asperifoliae, Cyperacese, 

 and Scrophularinae, are all, with the single exception of Carex 

 binervis, abundant around Edinburgh ; and in the environs of 

 Paris, they are also equally common, with the following excep- 

 tions : in that situation Symphetum tuberosum has not been 

 found ; and Carex ampullacea, Chcerophyllum sylvestre, and 

 JEgopodium Padagraria, appear to be rare. I am farther 

 doubtful whether Myosotis palustris grows around Paris. 



The following extensive genera not comprehended under the 

 preceding Natural Orders, have likewise been examined, name- 

 ly, Veronica, Viola, Juncus, Epilobium, Polygonum, Stellaria,
