254 Some New Localities for Plants, by A. Brotherston. 



Calamintha Acinos, Olairv. Plentiful in pastures on the high 

 ground at Lochtower and Primside. 



„ Ceinopodium, JBenth. Frequent on Tweedside. 



Lysimachia nummularia, L. Damp places in Makerston Woods, 



plentiful; Tweedside near Abbotsford. 

 Litorella lacustris, L. Yetholm Loch, plentiful. 

 Polygonum Bistorta, L. Springwood Park Woods, and near 



Wooden Linn. 

 Euphorbia Esula, L. Gateshaw ; Berwick Walls. 



,, exigua, L. Frequent in fields. It has occasionally 



five rays, and in a stubble field at Highridgehall, September, 

 1872, it was abundant with two rays; or, if any of the 

 plants showed the third, it was quite small in proportion to the 

 others. 

 Salix purpurea, L. Bather rare, only occasional plants along 

 Tweedside ; when dried difficult to distinguish from S. Helix 

 (which is very common), but when seen growing the habit is 

 very different — purpurea being decumbent, whilst Helix is 

 erect. 



,, rubra, Suds. On railway bank near Wooden ; Osier 

 ground at Spylaw ; in the hedge on roadside between Dry- 

 burgh and St. Boswell's ; Tweedside, near the mouth of the 

 Whiteadder. See also " Proc," 1872, p. 439. Probably of 

 frequent occurrence throughout the district. 

 Epipactis latifolia, All. Frequent about Kelso ; in Spring- 

 wood, Hendersjde, and Newtondon Woods. On Tweedside 

 above Lint Mill and at Trows ; Kaebraes, below Boxburgh 

 Castle, &c. 

 Listera ovata, E. Br. Abundant in Newtondon and Hirsel 



Woods. 

 Orchis incarnata, L. This species, sub-species, or variety (as 

 different botanists have it) is sometimes met with amongst the 

 Cheviots. The best distinctive character between incarnata 

 and the nearly allied latifolia, is in the form of the leaf ; that 

 of latifolia is broadest about the middle and flat at the tip, of 

 incarnata broadest at the base and concave (boat-shaped) at the 

 tip ; it (incarnata) is also later in flowering, 

 Goodyera repens, Brown. Evidently this boreal plant is in- 

 creasing in this neighbourhood. In addition to the Mellerstain 

 and Graden stations, I saw it growing in profusion in Buther- 

 ford Plantations in July last. Dr. Johnston's idea — that their 

 seeds (referring to Pyrola minor and Linncea borealis) have lain 

 buried in the soil since the ante-Boman period, when all 

 this part of the country was covered with a forest, and that 

 they spring up when circumstances are favourable for their 

 development — is especially applicable to the Goodyera. Since 

 I first saw it in Charter Plantation in August, 1859, it has
