Some Localities for Plants in addition to those recorded in 

 " Natural History of the Eastern Borders." By Andrew 

 Brotherston, Kelso. 



Thalictrum majus, Sm.z^FUEXvosvM, "Bab. Man" Rocks on 



Tweedside at Roxburgh. Newtown, and Gaitheugh. 

 Fumaria densiflora, D. C.=micrantha, Lag. In the Glebe at 

 Yetholm. I believe this species will be found to be frequent 

 in the district (See " Proc," 1873, p. 135). 

 Nasturtium palustre, D. C. Plentiful in many places on 

 Tweedside, from below Kelso upwards to Gala; sides of the Eden 

 near Ednam ; the Glen near Ewart, &c. 

 Cardamine hirsuta, L. Abundant, many places near Kelso ; 

 near Dryburgh Abbey I have seen it growing along with C. 

 sylvatica, Link., each keeping its distinctive characters. 

 Alyssum calycinum, L. Kelso and Springhall on Tweedside. 

 Arabis thaliana, L. Stichill, Trows, Dryburgh, Makerston, &c. 

 Lepidium Smithii, Hook. Straggling specimens on Tweedside. 

 Prom the great plenty of this plant on the Leader and several 

 of the rivulets that run into it, and also on the Ettrick, it 

 ought to be more frequent downwards ; evidently there is 

 something either in the soil or climate that prevents its increase 

 in this neighbourhood. On spots where I have observed 

 healthy-looking, well seeded plants one year, the next there 

 would be no appearances of it. 

 Senebiera coronopus, Poir, Roadside, Highridgehall, 

 Silene noctiflora, L. Abundant on gravelly knowes in corn- 

 fields, and occasionally on Tweedside. 

 Polycarpon tetraphyllum, L. Sides of Gala below Galashiels 

 (July, 1874). Mr. Stewart found it at the same place in 1868 

 (see "Proceedings," 1869, p. 79). 

 Geranium pusillum, L. Plentiful about Kelso, both on the river 



and road-sides ; Pallinsburn. 

 Genista tinctoria, L. Plantation near Whitton (D. Douglas). 

 Melilotus officinalis, Willd. Pields, Clifton Hill, Harperton, 

 &c. ; plentiful on a bank at the road-side near Rutherford 

 Station ; frequent on Tweedside. 



,, LEUCANTHA, Koch. On the road-side between Ednam 



and Kelso. 

 Trifolium arvense, L. Banks of the Tweed at Trows and 



Makerston ; Rowmont water, &c. 

 Vicia lathyroides, L. Rocky knowes at Stitchill along with 

 Trifolium striatum and Potentilla argentea ; Sandyknowe Crags, 

 and on Tweedside at the Scurry rock, near Sprouston. 

 ,, angustifolia, Both. Not uncommon on dry banks in the 

 neighbourhood of Kelso. The var. Bobartii, Forst., I have 

 seen in the vale of the Bowmont above Primside Mill.
