1859.] PLANTS or PERTH. 39 



Luzula pilosa. Moorward, Scone Wood ; rare. 



Luzula sylvatica. Woods and banks of Tay; frequent. P. 

 and K. 



Lychnis diurna. Near confluence of Tay and Almond; plen- 

 tiful. 



Lychnis vespertina. Abundant everywhere about Perth. 



Lycopodium clavatum. Summit of Biruam Hill. 



Lysimachia nemorum. Woody banks of Erich t, near Blairgowrie. 

 Methven Woods. 



Lysimachia Ntimmularia. Left bank of Tay, K. ; sparingly, in 

 one locality. 



Malva moschata. Frequent, K. and P. — A white variety is

 and red varieties have a musky scent, and there is a slight

Melampyrum sylvaticum. Woods, Dunkeld ; plentiful. 



Melica uniflora. Birnam, and rocky banks of Ericht, near Blair-

Mercurialis annuus [perennis ?) . Kinnoul Hill Wood ; extremely 

 abundant. Banks of the Almond, and other places ; plentiful. 



Mimulus luteus. Banks of the Tay, from Perth downwards; 

 most abundant. Also in a ditch near Old Scone ; sparingly. 



Molinia ccarulea. Heathy ground at margin of Methven Bog. 



Moneses grandiflora. Wood of Scone, three miles north-east 

 from Perth. — This beautiful and orangeflower-scented gem 

 is found under the trees, among mosses and grass, sparingly 

 distributed over an area of about two acres. I understand 

 it is more plentiful than I thought. But botanists whose
