station will, I presume, be destroyed; abundant in garden-hedges by 

 the wayside between St. Andrews and Guard Bridge. Of course not 

 indigenous. 



Betula alba, L. — Boggy ground extending westward from Dairsie 

 Church and farm, where I have no hesitation in pronouncing this 

 beautiful tree to be indigenous. The result of my inquiries among 

 the aged inhabitants of the place tend to strengthen me in this opinion. 



Salix pentandra, L. — Kennely Den, where this beautiful willow 

 grows in great luxuriance, although not very abundant. 



alba, L. — Many large trees, as well as small plants of this spe- 

 cies, grow along the margin of the river Eden, especially that part of 

 it between Dairsie Mills and Nydie Mill. They do not seem to have 

 been planted by other hand than that of Nature. 



■ fusca, L. — Road-side between St. Andrews and Kennely Den, 



on a ditch bank. 



fusca, £. argentea, Sm. — Road-side between St. Andrews and 



Kennely Den. 



cinerea, L. — Margin of river Eden, near Dairsie Church. 



aquatica, Sm. — Moist ground between Kennely Den and the 



east coast. 



aurita, L. — Kennely Den; Craighall Den, &c* 



*Ruscus aculeatus, L. — Near ruins of Pitcullo Castle, where it is 

 probable it may have been planted at a remote period. 



*Cotivallaria majalis, L. — Birkhill Wood. Very probably intro- 

 duced. 



Luzula multiflora, Lej. — In woods and occasionally in moist 

 pastures amongst long grass. I am indebted to my kind corre- 

 spondent Mr. Thomas Ben tall, of Halstead, for a knowledge of the 

 distinctive characters of this species. It is quite distinct, and seems 

 permanently so, from any form of L. campestris that I have ever met 

 with. 



Listera ovata, Br. — Wood at Bridge-house muir; wood south from 

 St. Andrews, &c. 



* Narcissus Pseudo-Narcissus, L. — Clayton Wood, plentiful, and 

 seemingly quite naturalized, although decidedly introduced. 



* Crocus aureus-. — Clayton Wood, plentiful, but planted, although it 

 may become quite wild-like in a few years. 



*Galanthus nivalis, L. — Bank shaded by lofty trees, Pitcullo Castle, 



* I have several other Salices gathered in the county ; hut these are not so clearly 

 determined as I could wish, and I do not therefore give them insertion in the present 

 list.
