11. Melic A NUTANS. G-rows along with M. uniflora ; in two or three 

 tufts near each other on a cliff overlooking the small rivulet that 

 intersects the wooded dean of Blackburn-rigg. 



12. Glyceria maritima. Between the Cove shore and Dunglass burn; 

 on the sea banks near Pastcastle ; growing from the dung of sea 

 fowl, by whom it has been introduced. 



13. Festuca ovina, var. vivipara. A single panicle of a plant in this 

 state, the other stalks having brought seeds to perfection, occurred 

 in an upland field on the farm of Blackburn. 



14. Festuca elatior. Inland in the Pease and Tower Deans ; in 



Winden Dean; Braid Bog; and by the side of the water Eye, 

 above Butterdean Mill. 



15. Bromus qiganteus. Pease and Cockburnspath Tower Deans ; 



deans in Penmanshiel Wood ; Eed Clues Cleugh ; Blackburn-rigg- 

 dean, abundant. This plant appeal's to connect the genera Festuca 

 and Bromus. The awn is inserted above the bifid point, as in 

 Festuca, not below it, as some authors state. In the most common 

 state of the plant, the number of florets in the spike varies from 

 three to four, with one rudimentary floret. Very luxuriant 

 specimens have eight perfect florets.
