Anagallis tenella. A rather rare plant in Scotland. I observed it 

 growing with Statice Limonium in salt marshes on the Solway coast, 

 near the mouth of the Nith. Is not this a somewhat uncommon 

 situation for this plant ? 



Atriplex erecta and A. deltoidea are common, the former on dung- 

 hills and waste places, and the latter in corn-fields about Thornhill 

 and Drumlanrig. 



Rumex alpinus. Several large plants by the road-side near Close- 

 burn mills ; and morefplentifully by the side of a stream at the Eccles, 

 near Penpout, but I have never met with it in flower. 



Salix herbacea. Near and upon the summit of the White Coombe. 



Habenaria albida. Heathy pasture near Penpout ; Queensberry 

 moors. 



chlorantha. A few solitary plants in Drumlanrig woods. 



Arum maculatum. Drumlanrig woods, sparingly. 



Potamogeton lanceolatus. Stagnant pools at the foot of the Mor- 

 ton hills, near Locherben ; ditch near Anchen Binzie Loch. 



gramineus. Loch by the side of the Edinburgh-road, 



about five miles from Dumfries. 



Juncus maritimus. Plentiful in salt marshes near the mouth of 

 the Nith. 



Carex paucijlora. Side of streams on the Lowther hills, near Dal- 

 vene pass ; a very long and slender state occurs in a boggy meadow 

 above Drumlanrig Castle. 



atrata. Rocky cliffs on the top of a hill near Hartfell. 



rigida. Summit of Hartfell, over a space of more than 



half a mile. 



■ externa. Marsh by the side of the Edinburgh-road, near 



Darrisdere ; and in great plenty above the fall of the Gray Mare's-tail. 



capillaris. Near Hartfell, in company with C. atrata. 



■ irrigua. In a boggy meadow at the foot of the Morton 



hills, near the ruins of Morton Castle. The Dumfries locality for this 

 plant has, I believe, been lately destroyed by drainage. 



Avena strigosa. Corn-fields near Dumfries. 



Rottboellia incurvata. Salt marshes on the Solway coast, near 

 Carlaverock Castle. 



Ceterach officinarum. On walls about Drumlanrig. 



Woodsia ilvensis. This rare and handsome little fern I found in 

 considerable abundance, on very steep, crumbling rocks, amongst the 

 hills dividing the counties of Dumfries and Peebles, in July last; it is 

 growing in dense tufts in the crevices of the rocks, and very luxuriant, 

 many of the fronds measuring nearly six inches in length.
