shire (G. Brown, sp.). — F. rumlis, Jord. Plentiful on railway 

 embankment near Kinghorn, v.-c. 85. — F. derelicta, Jord. Not 

 uncommon, but often larger than the type. Kinross and Mid- 

 Perth. — F. Lloydii, Jord. Very common. Dumfries, Kirk- 

 cudbright, Kinross, Mid-Perth. Many specimens are large- 

 flowered and are perhaps better referred to var. insignis, 

 Drabble. — F. lepida, Jord. In old pasture, several places near 

 Dunning. — F. lutea, Huds. Not uncommon on the Ochils, 

 often extremely small and showing considerable range of 

 colour between the type and var. anioena, Henslow. — V. 

 Curtisii, Forster. Sand-dunes, Southerness, Kirkcudbright. 

 Taller and more slender than F. Pesneaui, with narrower 

 leaves, but the distinction between the two is difficult. — F. 

 Pesneaui, E. G. Baker. Southerness sand-dunes. Typical 

 plants, passed by Mr. Baker. 



Geranium nodosum, L. A few plants of doubtful origin in 

 a small plantation, Duncrub, Dunning. 



Potentilla norvegica, L. A casual at Dunning station ; 

 not permanent. 



Alchemilla argentea, G. Don {A. conjuficta, Bab.). Cottage 

 gardens. Dunning ; origin unknown. 



Rosa involuta, Sm. Several bushes by the burn above the 

 village and in quantity on the Ochils near Knowes, Dunning. 

 In both stations the hybrid is associated with the parents. 



Sed.um Telephium,, L. Dr. Lloyd Praeger, in his account 

 of the genus, separates this into two sub-species : *S. pur- 

 pureum. Link., and S. Fabaria, Koch. The latter appears to 

 be the prevailing form in Mid-Perth and Kinross, and Dr. 

 White (Flora of Perthshire, p. 146) states that all the specimens 

 he examined seemed to belong to var. Fabaria. 



Callitriche stagnalis, Scop. A common plant showing con- 

 siderable variation. Well-grown specimens from a deep ditch 

 west of Dunning were commented upon by Mr. Bennett : 

 " This is a capital example of foliage. Had this been collected 

 south of Yorkshire and sent tvithouf fruit, one would at once 

 have said, trusting to leaves alone, C. obtusangula, Le Gall." 

 The variety serpyllifolia, Lonnx., which is not infrequent, 

 seems to be connected with the type by all gradations, and it 

 may be a state rather than a true variety. — C. intermedia, 

 Hoffm. {C. hamulata, Kuetz.). This is also extremely variable. 

 A large form from the River Earn seems referable to latifolia,
