274 A VISIT TO AIKENGALL DEAN 



and oak fern (P. dryopteris), were all growing in company. 

 On the crumbling micaceous schist, Fragiaria vesca, in a 

 most minute form, was very pretty, the plants often only 

 bearing a single berry in their centre. On the rock garden 

 I find they adhere to this miniature habit, and are therefore 

 interesting objects there. 



Altogether this excursion is a most interesting one, and 

 with good weather I expect the Berwickshire Naturalists' 

 Club to be thoroughly pleased when they go there next 

 summer. After a long walk over the stones, we reached 

 Stottencleugh at about 5 p.m., and made the journey to 

 Cockburnspath Station in time for the six train, which 

 conveyed us to our homes in good time, with our vascula 

 well filled. 



To the foregoing account Dr Charles Stuart now (Sept. 

 1901) desires to add the following list of plants not recorded 

 in the district : — 



Geranium sylvaticum, Flora alba. — A beautiful form, un- 

 known at Kew or Royal Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh ; 

 near Preston on the Whitadder. 



Centaurea nigra. — On the railway banks between Reston 

 and Reston Mains. 



Hahenaria hifolia, butterfly orchis. — On railway banks 

 between Reston and Reston Mains. 



Mimulus rivularis. — On the Eye, near Grants House. 



Trollins Europaens. — Edington Woods, and strips on

 (getting scarce). Naturalized near my house, Chirnside.
