tliered it in fruit; a slender variety with the brandies much attenuated is sometimes

 PLANTS NOT PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED IN THE DISTRICT. 



Plantago Corono2nis, var. &. nana. Abundant near Granton, and 

 elsewhere. 



Symphytum officinale, var. /3. patens. Near Muttonhole, &c. 



SPECIES PREVIOUSLY OBSERVED. 



Geranium rotundifolimn. Very fine at Preston-pans. 



Geuni intermedium. Abundant in many places, as at Roslin, Haw- 

 thomden, &c. Is this a species or not ? 



Hahenaria chlorantha, Bab. After observing this plant very at- 

 tentively for some time, and comparing it with the allowed H. bifolia, 

 and with specimens from the Edinburgh Botanical Society, from Mr. 

 Babington, and other eminent botanists, of their H. chlorantha, I 

 must say that I cannot see permanent grounds of specific distinction. 

 The extreme forms appear very unlike, but the interaiediate ones are 

 so very common, that it appears to me there are scarcely sufficient 

 reasons for separating the plants. I should much like to see in ' The 

 Phytologist' a record of the observations of some botanist familiar 

 with the plants in a living state. 



Hieraciiim sahaudum. One of the most common Edinburgh 

 hawk weeds.
