In the Moss of Restennet formerly grew the Schcenus mariscus, 
the only place I have seen it in Angusshire ; but it is now entirely 
lost there. The Chara hispida grows in pools in the same moss; 
and there I discovered, in 1791, that truly rare and beautiful grass, 
the Eriophorum alpinum, the first and only time it has been found 
in Great Britain. I am sorry, therefore, to say, it has been extinct 
there for these several years past, and that at present we know of 
no British habitat for it: it is found on the mountainous heaths of 
Germany, Denmark, Sweden and Norway. 
In the marsh called the White Mire, near Forfar, I discovered in 
1807 the Arundo stricta of Schraeder’s F. Germ., and the Arundo 
neglecta of Ehrart, being the only place where it has been found in 
Britain; but I am sorry to say it will be soon entirely lost, by the 
draining of the marsh. This reed produces a great quantity of 
foliage, and might prove a grass of considerable utility to the 
farmer in marshy grounds ; it is much more promising in its appear- 
ance than the rest of the reed family. There is also the Eriophorum 
polystachion, the only place I have seen it in Angusshire; and the 
Carex filiformis and Galium Witheringii. In the ditches are the 
Potamogeton fluitans and fueron: both only of late years 
known to be natives of Britain; and in the marshes grows also the 
Saxifraga aizoides. 
Some rare. mosses also occur, among which are the following: 
Polytrichum aloides Bryum ventricosum
