54 Flora of Shetland 



found on muddy sea-shores of Dales Voe 

 and Baltasound, but it is possible this is C. 

 grcenlandica. The editor is also of opinion 

 that further observation would result in 

 identifying another species as C. micacea, 

 a perennial with large pods and long claws, 

 but until this opinion has been authoritatively 

 confirmed he will not give the species more 

 than passing mention. 



Beeby, in Scot. Nat. 1887, mentions seeing 

 some very large plants at the Nab. 



C. alpina( Alpine Scurvy Grass). Frequent. 



5. Bursa Bursa-pastoris (Common Shep- 

 herd's Purse). Common. 



6. Cakile maritima (Purple Sea Rocket). 

 Abundant by sandy shores. 



C. maritima, var. integrifolia. Occurs at 

 the Nab, Lerwick. (Beeby.) 



7. Raphanus Raphanistrum (Wild Radish). 

 Common in cornfields. 



R. maritimus (Sea Radish). Eastern shores 

 of Bressay (Edmondston). 



Ord. Violariece 



i. Viola palustris (Marsh Violet). Occa- 

 sionally in bogs and stony margins of lakes. 

 (Beeby, in Scot. Nat. 1887).
