102 PEWSEY PLANTS. [April, 



and a few miles beyond, the Loch of Cluny, containing many 

 rare aquatic plants, obscurely seen by the intervention of wooded 

 hills. Looking southward, the magnificent Tay was seen rolling 

 silently along its crystal current, till it mingled -its waters with 

 those of the German Ocean, while at a distance of fourteen miles 

 the fair city occupied a site on its right bank : beyond which 

 rose the wooded hill of Moncrieff, with the long line of the Ochils, 

 and the conspicuous " Lomonds " in the " Kingdom of Fife." 

 Still further off might be detected the smoke of the Scottish 

 metropolis ; Arthur^s Seat and the Pentland Hills were just per- 

 ceptible, while the elevations of the Lammermoor and Moorfoot 

 range died away in the utmost bounds of the visible horizon, I 

 now retraced my steps to the terminus, and in an hour was 

 safely in Perth. 



I paid another visit to the northern side of this hill early in 

 September, 1858, but instead of steering for its summit, as on 

 the former occasion, kept traversing the margin of a small stream 

 which afforded me a few rather rare plants. There Corydalis 

 claviculata grew among the "briers and thorns," abundantly 

 also on the borders of its tributary hills, Saxifraga aizoides, Melica 

 uniflora, Bartramia fontana, and several subalpine Sedges and 

 Willows.
