magazine^ or any of tlie readers thereof^ can help him to some 

 information about the ' Flora Glottiana', which he believes " is oc- 

 casionally seen here.^' He is hereby respectfully informed tliat 

 the ^ Flora Glottiana ' was composed by Thos. Hopkirk, and pub- 

 lished in 1813. Has the querist read the rev. botanist's popular 

 description of the botany of Lanark, and failed to find therein any 

 mention of this Glasgovv list of plants ? Has he hunted the book- 

 stalls as eagerly as it is to be hoped he will scrutinize and loca- 

 lize the now existent plants which have already been observed by 

 his two predecessors ? 



The following are not in Hopkirk's list, viz. : — 



Conius sanguinea. 

 Eibes alpinum. 

 Polemonium coeruleiim. 

 Petroselinum sativum. 

 Allium Schoenoprasum. 



Vaccinium Yitis-Idaea. 

 Pyrola minor. 

 Areiiaria verna. 

 Aconitum Napellus. 

 Scrophularia vernalis. 



Lepidium hirsutum. 

 Geranium columbinuni. 

 Gnaplialium sylvaticum. 

 Listera cordata. 

 Listera Nidus-Avis. 

 Carex ovalis. 



Ornithogalum umbcllatum. Lepidium campestre. 

 Eumex pulcher. 



The following species are in ' Flora Glottiana,' but not in the 

 MS. list selected from the 'Flora of Lanarkshire/ and entered in 

 the MS. magazine, p. 181. 



Riunex sanguineus. 

 Vaccinium Oxycoccos. 

 Daphne Laureola. 

 Polygonum Bistorta. 

 Adoxa moschatellina. 

 Pyrola media. 



SteUaria nemorum.

Chrysosplenium alternifolium.Orobus sylvaticus.

Saxifraga unibrosa. Hieracium prenanthoides. 



Silene maritima. Carduus heterophyllus. 



Campanula Tracbelium.

 Eibes Grossularia.

It is however more than probable that there are few discre- 

 pancies between the ' Flora Glottiana' of 1813 and the ' Flora of 

 Lanarkshire' of 1831. Some of the species in the latter list, 

 though usually entered among the "rariores," ai'e not rare in that 

 district ; and again, Mr. Hopkirk's district may be of smaller 

 extent than that comprehended in Mr. Patrick's flora. 



" The Botany of Loch Ranza," in Arran, need not detain the 

 reader. The "rariores" are Osmunda regalis, Asplenium mar'mum, 

 Valei'ianella dentata, Lepidium latifolium. Salicornia herbacea,
