Notes ox Scottish Plants. 

 By G. Claridge Druce. M.A., F.L.s. 



The following notes have been prepared on plants 

 collected from time to time in Scotland or observed on a 

 long motor tour in it in 1912. when, owing to a severe 

 attack of phlebitis, my walking powers were of the 

 feeblest. 



An asterisk marks a probable addition to " Topographical 

 Botany." Several plants yet await a more detailed exam- 

 ination. 



Castalia alba, Link,* var. occidental is. Ostenf. — Near 

 Dunkeld, Ostenfeld, see "New Phyt." (1912), 116: and 

 "Rep. Bot. Exch. Club" (1911), p. 8.— On the Moor of 

 Rannoch. Mid-Perth. 88. 



F>i maria purpurea, Pugsley. — Near Tantallon Castle, 82. 



F. Boraei, Jord..* var. britannica, Pugsley. — Innerleven. 

 Fife, 85. 



Radicula islandica (Oeder), Druce, (R. "palustris, 

 Moench). — As a small form on the shores of Loch Leven. 

 Fife, 85. 



Poly gala vulgaris, L..* var. Battii, Ostenfeld. — Inchna- 

 damph. Sutherland W., 108. 



*Sisymbrium aUissimum, L. Alien. — Abundant at 

 Dundee. 



Lychnis Preslii, Sekera. — Of this rare and interesting 

 Bohemian Lychni s Miss Trower in 1910 found a solitary 

 example. This year I visited the station but could lind no 

 other one. L. dioica is abundant there, and in varying 

 degrees of hairiness, but the line of demarcation appeared 

 to be well marked. The origin of this specimen still awaits 

 an explanation. I may say that I was much too late in 

 the season, and my walking powers too limited to say my 

 search was exhaustive. 



*Arena/ria leptoclados. Guss. — Xear Aberfeldy, Mid- 

 Perth. 88. 



*Sagina apetala, Ard. — Innerleven, Fife, 85. 



S. nodosa* var. moniliformis, Lange. — Stranraer, 74: 

 Sands of Barry, 90 ; Brodick. Arran. 100 : Elgin coast, 95 ; 

 Applecross, 105 ; Golspie, 107.
