Mr. J. Hardy on Plants new to Berwickshire. 281 



These are not all the plants that have come to light during 

 the past season. Others are reserved for better investigation ; 

 the return of new Mosses is numerous. I shall merely, for 

 the present, append a few 



New Localities for Border Plants. 



Thlapsi aroense. Noticed in fields near Fishwick and 

 near Hallydown. 



Saxifraga granulata. In flower in July far up the south- 

 ern Bizzle ravine. Dr Johnston saw it in Dunsdale. 



Chrijsosplenium alternifolium. Nearly in the same local- 

 ity with the last. 



Cnicus heterophyllus. On the wet ground below the rocks 

 at the entrance to the Bizzle, on the north side. 



Vaccinium Oxy coccus. Horton moss. 



Galeopsis Ladanum. Cockburn Mill on the Primrose Hill 

 side of the Whitadder. — John Anderson. 



Epipactis latifolia. Marshy plantation near Fishwick, 

 some of the plants nearly two feet high ; one plant at Pistol 

 Planting. — Mr. Falconer. 



Listera ovata. This, I am told, is common in woods near 

 Fishwick. I found a single plant this season on the Com- 

 mon Burn, some way below where the old road crosses it, 

 S.E. of the Shepherd's House. In a section of the clayey 

 bank where this grew, just above the burn, various oval black 

 bullets about the size of beans or cherry stones, were attached 

 at intervals to a black creeping root, which I failed to trace 

 to its source. They consisted of a white nucleus of a sweet- 

 ish but not pleasant taste. They were not earth nuts, nor 

 anything I had seen before. Equisetum syhaticum was the 

 only creeping-rooted plant that I could see near them. 



Listera cordata. Among the long heath on the corner of 

 Cheviot, turning to Dunsdale. In May, Mr. Boyd and I 

 found Ranunculus auricomus on that part of the hill between 

 Dunsdale and Southernknowe. 



Hahenaria viridis. I have seen specimens from a marshy 

 field near Ayton ; and it is said also to occur near Lauder. 



Poa Balfouri. Mr. Baker found this when we visited 

 Heathpool together in July. 



Poly podium Phegopteris. As Northumbrian localities for 

 this, I may mention Cockenheugh, the mouth of Henhole 

 ravine, the Bizzle, Dunsdale, and among rocks on the west 

 side of Care Burn.
