440 Plants not recorded in " Eastern Borders' Flora" 



Alopecueus ageestis, L. Edenhall ; probably introduced with 



grass seeds. 

 Milium efeusum, L. Woods, Kelso, Pinnacle-hill, and Bemer- 



Ageostis canina, L. Cheviots. 



Apeka spica-venti, Beauv. Kelso Abbey and Edenhall; pro- 

 bably introduced. 



Poltpogon Monspeliensis, Desf. Eutherford. 



A vena steigosa, Schreb. Greenlaw. 



Poa nemoealis, L. Frequent in woods, Springwood, Pinnacle- 

 hill, Wooden, &c. 



,, Sttdetica, L. Kelso, under shade of trees. I found a few 

 large tufts of this last June, and, not having any description 

 of it, I sent a specimen to Professor Babington, who named it 

 P. Sudetica. He says, " It is found in Norway and Holstein, 

 as well as more to the south." The station where I found it 

 is not very satisfactory, as it is within private grounds. But 

 according to its distribution on the continent, it may yet be 

 found truly wild in this country, in shady woods, along with 

 Bromus asper, Milium ejffusum, Br achy podium sylvaticum, &c. 



Seeeaealctjs commutatus, Bab. Frequent on road-sides and 

 borders of .fields. 



„ aevensis, Bab. Near Kelso Abbey. 



Lolium Italictjm, A. Brauu. This is now as plentiful on road- 

 sides, &c, as L. perenne. 



In the above list by far the greater number are introduc- 

 tions ; about twenty of them only having any claim to be 

 considered indigenous, viz. : — Ranunculus hirsutus, Turritis 

 glabra, Arabis hirsuta, Trifolium Jiliforme, Vicia tetras- 

 perma, Lactuca muralis, Hieracium pallidum, Rumex mari- 

 timus, Rumex Hydrolapathum, Ceratophyllum sp. ?, Calli- 

 triche autumnalis, Salix amygdalina, rubra, cotinifolia, and 

 nigricans, Goody era repens, Milium effusum, Ayrostis 

 canina, Poa nemoralis, and Serrafalcus commutatus. The 

 others are introductions of the farmer, the gardener, and the 

 manufacturer, or otherwise accidental occurrences. As in- 

 stances of those introduced by the farmer we have — Alyssum 

 calycinum, Matricaria Chamomilla, Crepis biennis, &c. ; by 

 the gardener — Adonis autumnalis, Eranthis, Mimulus, &c. ; 

 and by the manufacturer the medicks, Lathyris Aphaca, &c. 

 But in a highly cultivated district like this, it is impossible 

 to say with certainty which are really natives and which are 

 not.
