Rarer Plants found chiefly in Berwickshire. 



Avena pubescens, 

 Carex divulsa, 



side of the Whitadder above Pres- 

 ton Bridge, with A. pratensis 

 and A. flavescens. 



Gathered once, when coming from 

 Innerwick, by the side of Water 

 Eye. [Corresponds exactly with 

 Sir J. E. Smith's description, 

 Eng. Flora, iv., pp. 89-90. In 

 the example the lowermost bract 

 "is lengthened out into an ex- 

 tremely slender, rough, capillary 

 appendage." See Micheli's, fig. 

 X.33, fig. 10, of this appendage. 

 New to Berwickshire. Not in 

 the Northumberland and Durham 

 Flora. In the Edinburgh Flora, 

 p. 135, recorded for "moist shady 

 pastures, Black Hill, Pentlands."
