Some New Localities for Plants, by A. Brotherston. 255 



increased greatly. Apparently it has not been so long estab- 

 lished at Graden (where it was discovered by the Eev. Messrs. 

 Mackerron and Davidson), being much thinner in the ground. 

 I have no doubt that if these woods were cut down, the 

 Goodyera would again disappear, and remain in a dormant state 

 until such time as the ground was suitable for its existence, when 

 it would reappear and take its place as at present. From the 

 report of the " Botanical Locality Eecord Club," I see that the 

 almost extinct Cypripedium Ccdceolus has been found lately in 

 .two of the magnesian limestone denes of Durham (not the old 

 recorded Castle Eden Dene). But the opposite course is 

 required to revive its dormant energies. In one of the denes it 

 was brought about by the cutting down of trees and under- 

 wood ; and in the other "it was noticed that it seemed to 

 grow only on spots where a slip of land occurred, or rather the 

 sliding down of soil from the eteep banks : which circumstance 

 no doubt resulted similarly in sunlight reaching the slopes of 

 soil overturned and left bare." 



Allium scorodoprasum, L. Sides of burn at Learmouth, spar- 

 ingly (Wm. Kerr). 

 ,, oleraceum, L. Plentiful on Tweed side, both above and 

 below Kelso. 



Tulipa sylvestris, L. Makerston, Merton, and Dryburgh. 



Juncus compressus, Jacq. Close to the edge of the Tweed below 

 "Corbie Crag," Makerstoun. This is the only spot where I 

 have detected the typical inland plant in the district. But it is 

 very probable that it will occur elsewhere on the river side. 



Arum macttlatttm, L. In great abundance on the wooded bank 

 at Pinnacle Hill ; also at Springwood, Hendersyde, etc. This 

 has every appearance of being wild in this district. 



Potamogeton OBTUsiFOLius, If. and K. Pond at Floors ; pos- 

 sibly the P. gramineum of "East Bord." 



,, PECTiNATus, L. Plentiful in the Tweed, Teviot, 



and Yetholm Loch. 



Scirptjs eluitans, L. Ditches in Falside Hill bog. 



,, sylvaticus, L. Sides of the Teviot below Eoxburgh, 

 and Eden above Ednam. 



Carex remota, L. Tweedside below Hendersyde. 



„ paniculata, L. Boggy ground at Yetholm Loch, Hirsel 

 Loch, etc, 



,, MURicATA, L. Eocky ground, Makerston. 

 ,, sylvatica, Huds. Not uncommon in woods about Kelso. 

 „ distans, i., — from the mouth of the Whiteadder — is 

 struck out from the list as being C. binervis (" E. B.," 206). I 

 have not seen it ; but I have true C. distans, which I got on 

 the coast near Gunsgreenhill, in June, 1873. 

 „ hirta, L. A glabrous var., at north-east end of Yet- 

 holm Loch.
