PLANTS OP PEETH. 



Alphabetical List of Flowering Plants and Ferns found in the 

 vicinity of Perth. By John Sim. 



Those plants whose occurrence is common and universal are 

 not recorded. 



This list is intended as supplementary to Dr. Lindsay's paper 

 on the Perth Flora (see ' Phytologist/ p. 284^ vol. ii. n. s.)^ con- 

 sequently the plants enumerated by the Doctor, whose localities 

 are definitely stated, are likewise omitted. 



K. signifies Kinnoul parish; M., Methven ditto; P., Perth; 

 R., Redgorton; and S., Scone. 



In a few instances I gathered plants above four miles from 

 Perth, as at Dunkeld and Blairgowrie, but few of my botanical 

 researches exceeded that distance. In order to facilitate refer- 

 ence, I give the list alphabetically, without any regard to natural 

 or artificial arrangement. As I am very imperfectly acquainted 

 with the Cryptogamic division of the Vegetable Kingdom, I en- 

 tirely confine myself to the Flowering Plants and Ferns. A paper 

 on the Lichens of this district, by Dr. Lindsay, of Perth, ap- 

 peared in the ' Phytologist,^ November, 1857. In the same 

 paper he noticed the climate, etc., to which I refer the reader. 



^gojjodium Podagraria. Abundant under hedges, etc. 



yFthusa Cynapium. Frequent among cultivated ground, etc.
