'234 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [Sess. 



Notes on Some Scottish Plants. By James Fraser. 



(Read 13th November 1913.) 



The following list of plants, observed during 1913 except 

 where otherwise indicated, consists of several " aliens " new 

 to Britain (these are marked by a star), several new 

 records for vice-counties, and several plants considered 

 sufficiently interesting to have new localities for them 

 put on record. 



I am indebted to Mr. Cedric Bucknall of Clifton for 

 examining and determining Symphytums from many 

 localities, and to Professor Hackel and the Director of 

 the Royal Gardens, Kew, for determining several of the 

 grasses. 



Erysimum cheiranthoides, Linn., and Matricaria dis- 

 coidea, DC, several of each at Aberfoyle, v.c. 87. 



* XerantJtemum inapertum, Linn. ; * Diplotaxis Lagas- 

 cana, DC; * Linaria rubrifolia, Rob. et Cast.; * Ar- 

 rhenatherum eriantltum, Boiss. et Reut. ; * Ammochloa 

 pungens, Desf. ; * Vulpia cynosuroides, Boiss.; Lolium 

 rigidum, Gaud., * var. ramosum ; several of each (Esparto 

 grass casuals), near Musselburgh, v.c. 83. 



Poa CJiaixii, Vill, very plentiful, and Festuca hetero- 

 phylla, Lam., scarce, growing together in the Yester 

 grounds, v.c. 82. 



Lysimacliia punctata, Linn., a clump 6 feet in diameter 

 on the bank of the River Lyne, near Romanno Bridge, 

 v.c. 78. 



Symphytum peregrinum, Ledeb. This plant I have 

 already recorded for Wigtownshire and the three Lothians. 

 Since then it has been noticed in six other vice-counties, 

 and there in about thirty different places. For many of 

 these I am indebted to Miss Ella F. Dickie and to Mr. 

 Andrew Templeman, who very kindly undertook to show 

 me any localities in which they might meet with this 

 plant in 1913. The vice-counties where it has been noticed 

 to this date are : — ■ 



Dumfries (72). Near Moffat, several.
