 1. CE. QcBiVEiTSiA-^TJU, ISchwcsgr. N. In the crevices of rocks, 

 and on small pieces of moist clay overhanging rocks, in similar 

 situations as Rhabdoweissia fugax ; at various points in the Bizzle ; 

 and also at the N. W. end and top of Henhole. Like most of the 

 other plants recorded for the Cheviots it is new to the Border 

 Flora. Norway is said to be the only country in Europe, besides 

 our own, where it is to be found. (Berkeley). It is named after 

 J. Wynne Griffith, Esq., of Grarn, in Wales, who contributed 

 numerous original observations on British plants to Dr. Wither- 

 ing's "Arrangement," and also to the "FLra Britannica ;" a 

 weU-deserved compliment to one now little known, except in 

 works, now seldom consulted.

 the shade of trees. — A. J. Var. incurvus, Schwceg. Grrowing

2. F. BRYOiDES. Hedw. In shady banks, sides of path-ways 

 in woods, and on the sea-banks ; common. Anyone who reflects

 swampy ground in Bizzle and Henhole.

 Ale. — On trees in Ay ton woods. — W, S. On trees near Lauder.
