NATURALIZED SPECIES. 291 



frequent, and occasionally cast out with rubbish, to flourish 

 by a hedge side for a season or two. The Borago officinalu 

 and Anchusa sempervirens have no better claims to be con- 

 sidered indigenous in Berwickshire. 



4. POLEMONIUM CCERULEUM Jacob's Ladder. Sometimes escapes 



from the garden in the same manner as the preceding, but 

 does not spread in a wild state. 



5. VINCA MINOR Lesser Periwinkle. Naturalized in the woods 



about Drygrange, in the west of Berwickshire, Rev. A. 

 Baird. 



6. RIBES RUBRUM Red Currant. In deans, on the sites of de- 



serted mills and cottages. 



7. RIBES NIGRUM Black Currant. In similar places to the pre- 



ceding. 



8. MYRRHIS ODORATA Sweet Cicely. Pinnaclehill near Kelso, 



Mr R. D. Thomson. Found by Mr Baird on the borders 

 of Coldingham Moor, yet scarce run wild. 



9. LINUM USITATISSIMUM Common Flax. Cultivated in Ber- 



wickshire, hence a stray specimen may occasionally be ga- 

 thered hi uncultivated places. 



10. GALANTHUS NIVALIS Snowdrop. Near Chillingham, Mrs 

 Langhorne. In plantations about the residences of our gen- 

 try, but more seldom, and in less profusion, than the florist 

 might desire. 



11. NARCISSUS PSEUDO-NARCISSUS Common Daffodil. Near Chil- 



lingham in profusion, Mrs Langhorne. 



12. TULIPA SYLVESTRIS Wild Tulip. Naturalized in the wood 



at Netherbyres, Rev. A. Baird. 



13. ACER PSEUDO-PLATANUS Sycamore or Plane-tree. From 



the size which many of these trees have attained in Ber- 

 wickshire, it is obvious they agree well with our climate, al- 

 though of foreign origin. 



14. ACER CAMPESTRE Common Maple. In the hedge between 



Longridge and Velvet-hall. Rare even in shrubberies and 

 plantations in Berwickshire.
