Alien Plants. By James Fraser. 



The following list of plants which I met with during 1911,. 

 unless where otherwise indicated, consists of ten new British 

 records (these are marked with a star), several new county 

 records, and plants mainly from localities which indicate a 

 wider and perhaps widening range of distribution for them 

 in counties where they have already been known to exist. 



My best thanks are due to Professor Hackel, and to the 

 Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew, for their help in 

 determining several of the more difficult species.

 burghshire ; several.
