1.— Botanical Notes for 1895. By Mr James M‘ANDREWw, of 
New Galloway. 
In July 1895 I spent a fortnight at New Luce in Wigtownshire 
in hope of gathering there some of the plants of the inland part of 
the county. I was not altogether disappointed, though the dis- 
trict has not a particularly rich or varied flora. Except in the 
valleys of the Main and Cross waters of Luce, the surrounding 
district is moorland. However, here and at Portpatrick I found 
the following ten plants, as new records for Wigtownshire, to be 
added to my former list :— 
1. Hieracium gothicum (Fr.), Backh. In the bed of Luce 
Water. 
2. Hieracium auratum (FY.), Do. do. 
3. Galium mollugo, var. Baker’, Syme. At New Luce railway 
viaduct. 
4. Hymenophyllum unilaterale, Willd. At Barnshangan Bridge 
and at Loups of Kilfeather, New Luce. 
Centaurea nigra var. radians. Frequent at New Luce and 
Portpatrick. 
6. Melampyrum pratense var. montanum. Near New Luce. 
The var. hians occurs at Pularyan Glen. 
7. Utricularia intermedia, Airieolland Loch, New Luce. 
8, Barbarea stricta. Sent to me by Mr. R. C. Lupton, school- 
house, New Luce, and found growing along the Cross 
Water ; perhaps an outcast. 
9. Calamagrostis epigeios, Roth. Knock Bay, Portpatrick. 
This is, as far as I am aware, the first record of this grass 
for the south-western counties of Scotland. 
10. Potamogeton perfoliatus. Lochnaw Loch. 
It is about sixty years since Dr Macnab recorded Cladium ger- 
manicun or mariscus, for Ravenstone Loch, Wigtownshire. Since 
then it has not been seen in the county, but this year I was fortun- 
ate in finding a tuft of this rush in a Loch wesc of New Luce, thus 
confirming this plant for the county, though not for the old locality.
