136 List of Tweedside Plants, by Mr. A. Brotherston. 



*Neslia pantculata, Desy. Tweedside, Kelso. (A weed in the 

 brewery garden at Ednam, 1861.) Native of Europe 

 generally. 



Silene anglica, L. Introduced into many gardens last year 

 (1873) with seeds of WTiitlavia glotinioides. It has a good 

 chance of establishing itself in the district, as it is a very free 

 seeding plant. 



Gypsophila mubalis, L. Knowes, Kelso. 



*Erodiitm Cygnorttm, Lees. On heaps of rubbish below Gala- 

 shiels. This appears to be the place mentioned in the 

 "Proceedings," 1869, p. 77, where Mr. Stewart found E. 

 moschatum, none of which I observed, July, 1873. This is 

 easily distinguished from any of the British Storksbills, by the 

 colour of the flowers -which are blue. It is a Swan River 

 species, and has also been introduced into Yorkshire with 

 Australian wool. 



*Medicago palcata, L. Sides of Gala, near its mouth. 



* ,, pentacycla, D. C. Tweedside, Kelso. This plant 

 resembles M. denticulata, but the pods are larger and have five 

 turns to the spiral circles 



*Lathyrus sativus. Tweedside, Kelso. South of Europe. 



* ,, ANGTJLATUS. Do. Do. 



*Trifolittm ochroleucum, L. Mouth of Gala. 



^Paronychia polygonifolia, D. C. Sides of Gala. Native of 

 the Mediterranean region. Very like a Herniaria. May it 

 not be the Herniaria mentioned by Mr. Stewart? "Proc," 

 1869, p. 75. 



*Centatjrea napifolia, L. } var. Tweedside, Kelso. (Barbary 

 to Greece.) 



Ctjsctjta epithymttm, Murr. "In a wide sense" ; Haymount, in 

 tares. This plant is intermediate between the usual C. epithy- 

 mum, Murr., and C. Trifolii, Bab., approaching nearest to the 

 latter. 



*Echinospermum Lappula, Lelim. Sides of Gala near its mouth. 

 This very much resembles a Myosotis, but, like most of the 

 " wool" plants, the seeds are enveloped in a spiny covering, 

 while in Myosotis they are smooth. "Upon shingle, South- 

 wold, Suffolk, and elsewhere near the sea; introduced." 

 Bab. 



Elsholtzia cristata. Stragglers in cultivated ground. Native 

 of Siberia. 



*Plantago virginica, L, Near mouth of Gala. Native of 

 America. 



Chenopodium hybridum, L. St. Leonards, Kelso. 



,, polyspermum, L. Both varieties plentiful in a 



recently ploughed old pasture at Newtondon. Var. acutifolium 

 most abundant.
