Barbarea stricia. Waste ground by the Skarr water, near Penpout ; 

 it also occurs in two or three localities by the side of the Nith, between 

 Thornhill and Dumfries, but sparingly. 



Viola lutea. There is a purple-flowered variety extremely abun- 

 dant on nearly all the hills bounding the county of Dumfries to the 

 east, and indeed in almost every meadow and bank in the upper part 

 of Nithsdale, but I have only seen the true yellow form in a single 

 spot upon the Leadhills, near the village of Wanlockhead, where there 

 are growing together yellow, purple, and white, with almost every in- 

 termediate shade of colour. 



Geranium sylvaticum. Nithside, in Drumlanrig woods, plentiful; a 

 variety with the flowers much smaller, and of a rose colour, occurs in 

 a plantation by the side of the Edinburgh-road, near Carron-bridge ; 

 it is probably the same as that mentioned in Bab. Man. as found at 

 Dollar, by Dr. Greville, and which the author supposes to be the var. 

 0. fastigiatum (Fries). 



Callitriche pedunculata, @. sessilis. Margin of Loch Skew, at the 

 end nearest to the White Coombe. 



Saxifraga stellaris. Common upon the hills on the north side of 

 Annaudale ; at the face of the Gray Mare's-tail, growing with a pro- 

 fusion of S. oppositifolia. 



Carum verticillatum is o£ frequent occurrence in marshy meadows 

 around Penpout, Thornhill, Dalvene, &c. 



CEnanthe Lachenalii. Salt marshes on the east side of the Nith, 

 extending from about five miles below Dumfries to its confluence 

 with the Solway. 



Peucedanum Ostruthium. At the foot of Carron-bridge. 



Valeriana pyrenaica. Drumlanrig woods. 



Saussurea alpina. Rocky ravine near the Saddleback. 



*Doronicum Pardalianches. Banks of the Nith, Drumlanrig woods. 



Erythrcea littoralis. Plentiful on the Solway coast. Near the 

 mouth of the Nith, in salt marshes. 



Mimulus luteus. This plant seems to be naturalized in a wood 

 near Tynron, and in a boggy meadow above Drumlanrig it is very 

 plentiful and luxuriant. 



*Hieracium rigidum, /3. pictum. On rocks above Dalvene pass, 

 on the Lowther hills. 



Myosotis repens. This species, which is far from being generally 

 distributed, appears to be not uncommon over the south-east of Dum- 

 friesshire, particularly about Moffat, where it may be seen with M. 

 caespitosa to supply the place of the usually common M. palustris.
