Growing on a wall at Inverleith, near Edinburgh, from 
whence my specimens were taken

I first observed this plant in 1782, by ditches and by the 
sides of walls, near Blair Adam, Kinross-shire. I have also 
seen it ina wild state near Glasgow. I have since noticed it in 
one or two other places in Kinross-shire; and some time ago 
(in company with Messrs. Maughan and J. Neill) I found it 
plentifully, in a moist wood on the banks of the river Leith, 
about a mile below Collington, and three miles from Edinburgh: 
and in September 1805 I observed it on the side of a small 
rivulet, in a wood at ees: Linlithgowshire (in company 
with Messrs. P. Neill and Hos : . There can be no 
doubt whatever of this bone a plant truly indigenous to 
Scotland. 
Wild but not indigenous in Great Britain; this is the first 
record,—G. C. D.] 
Poa rigida, Curt., F7. Lond, fasc. 2, f. 4; Eng. Bot., t. 1371. 
In the King’s Park, Edinburgh, especially Seige Salisbury 
Craigs, where my specimens were gathered. I have since 
observed it on walls near Burntisland, Fifeshire ; but this Poa 
may be considered as of rare occurrence in Scotland. 
[Festuca rigida, Kunth.—G. C. D.] 
Phalaris arenaria, Eng. Bot. t. 222; Pluk., Phytogr., t. 33, f. 8. 
Growing plentifully on the seashore, near Wormyhills, two 
miles west of Aberdeen; on the Sands o arry, seven miles 
east from Dundee ; and on the shore, about a mile north from 
Montrose, all in Angusshire. Also near Aberdeen and Banff; 
and at Prestonpans i in East Lothian.

Very common in cornfields in Scotland. My specimens 
collected in fields near Pentland Hill 
[It is the variety pilosissima, S. F. aweces ie a

This is still more common in cornfields in Scotland than 8 
‘atua. It is no doubt a native, though in the extreme northern 
parts of Scotland, and in the islands of Orkneys and Shetlands, 
it is the only kind of oat cultivated for grain.
