I860.] PLANTS OF PERTH. 135 



^Hypericum barbatum. Side of a hedge, near to Aberdalgie. 

 Stratliearu. 



Habenaria aJbida. Birnara Hill ; sparingly. 



Hesperis matronalis. Moncrieffe and Kinnoul Hills ; abundant. 



Linrnea borealis. Wood of Scone, under an aged Scotch Pine, 

 covering an area of three or four square yards. Distant 

 from Perth city about three miles and a half, in a north- 

 easterly direction. 



*Listera Nidus-avis. Wood of Methven ; also wood near Blair- 

 gowrie. 



^Lychnis viscai'ia. Den of Balthayock, Glen Farg, and near to 

 the river Earn, about three miles west from Perth. 



^Nuphar lutea. Bedgorton parish. 



Nophar pumila. Loch of Moncrieffe. 



*Nymph(sa alba. Loch of Mulhon, Bedgorton parish. 



*Medicago saliva. Border of a field, near top of Kinnoul Hill. 



^Paris guadrifolia. Invermay, Den of Balthayock, and Meth- 

 ven Wood. 



^Peplis Portula. Gravel-pit, Pitcairn Green, Bedgorton parish. 



Ornithopus perpusillus. Craigie Moor ; and also found a little 

 to the west of Perth. 



Plantago maritima. Margin of Tay, near top of North Inch. 



Poa nemoralis. Wood, Kinnoul Hill ; plentiful. 



Poa compressa. Bank of Tay, old shore, Perth. 



Polygonum viviparum. Birnam Hill, and Wood of Scone ; fre- 

 quent. 



Ranunculus hirsutus. Near Perth penitentiary, on waste ground ; 

 plentiful. 



Sanicula europcea. Corner of a plantation near top of Craigie 

 Hill; sparingly, 



^Scolopendf'ium vulgare. Supposed to be on Moncrieffe Hill; 

 but as I have not seen it there in a growing state, nor had 

 specimens from that locality, I will not assert positively its 

 existence there. This fern, like Ceterach qfficinarum, is rare 

 in Scotland, but abundant in Ireland. 



Scrophularia vernalis. Abundant and luxuriant on the southern 

 side of Moncrieffe Hill, under trees, and undoubtedly wild, 

 and not an escape from cultivation, as no gardener or florist 

 would ever tolerate such a noxious and offensively scented 

 plant in his garden.
