next observed it in 1801, in cornfields ced the village called

. Galium verum, Curt., Fl. Lond., fasc. 6, t. 137; Mart. Fi. 
Rust., t. 54! 
On dry banks and pastures, common. This plant I have 
given as one of the most beautiful of ey Hritish Galiums. 
. Galium mollugo, //. Dan., t. 455! 
I observed it about Dreghorn, and in several other places 
near Edinburgh; in the Carse ‘of Gow wrie; Hill of Burnside 
near Forfar ; and also near the village of Broadsworth in 
Yorkshire.

. Galium aparine, Curt., : l. —- fasc. 2, t.9g;° Mart, Fi.

Rust., t. 104; Fl. Dan 
I have been ends ti give this common Galium along with 
the G. spurium, to which it closely approaches, and is chiefly 
distinguished by the seeds, which in this plant are rough, 
whereas in the other they are smooth and shining. 
. Campanula rapunculus, Aug. Bot, ¢. 283! 
Found near an old chapel at Duledzcons by the late ary, 
Dr. Walker. I know no other locality for it in Scotland. I 
have observed it by the sides of hedges near Millbank in ‘the 
vicinity of London; but it appeared to me hardly indigenous. 
specimens are from cultivated plants which agree exactly 
with those I have seen growing in England. 
. Campanula glomerata, Exg. Bot., ¢. go! 
This beautiful plant I have always observed on dry banks. 
On the banks of the Tay near the Linn of Campsie, Perthshire; 
on the river Esk, and by the sea coast near Arbroath, Angus- 
shire. On the coast of Fife near Pettycur. Also near Broads- 
worth, five miles from Doncaster, Yorkshire.
