56 Flora of Shetland 



editor found specimens on the grassy cliffs 

 on the north-west side of Hermaness, 

 Unst 



S. maritima (Sea Campion). Very frequent 

 on dry gravelly hills, especially on serpentine 

 and euphotide slopes. 



2. Lychnis alba (Evening Campion). Said 

 to have been seen near Belmont, Unst, but 

 information not reliable. It is only included 

 in the present list as it appeared in a garden 

 at Baltasound among numerous plants of 

 L. dioica which had been transplanted from 

 the wild state. But this single example 

 may have been an import with other garden 

 seeds. 



L. dioica (Red Campion). Very common 

 throughout the islands. 



L. Flos-cuculi (Ragged Robin). Very 

 common, damp places. 



L. Githago (Corn Cockle). An import 

 with rye and wheat seed. 



3. Cerastium tetrandrum (Four-stamened 

 Mouse - ear Chickweed). " Sandy ground, 

 particularly frequent in the island of Balta." 

 (Edmondston.) 



C. glomeratum (Clustered Mouse - ear 

 Chickweed). Common by waysides.
