Having published this list, I leave it to others to try and add to 
it, as doubtless those who visit the country early in the year will 
easily do. The early plants are known to me only by finding 
them in a withered state in the autumn. 
The late Mr. Wm. Gardiner of Dundee printed " Botanical 
Rambles in Braemar " in 1845, but he took no notice of the 
plants to be found in the low country, and devoted especial atten- 
tion to the Cryptogamic plants. It is doubtful if his little book 
was ever really published, as it bears only a printer's name (James 
Duff, 29 Hill Street, Dundee) on the title page. 
[Note. — By Professor Babington's wish, with a view to render the subjoined 
list more complete a few species have been added, and also notes on certain of 
the other species, by Dr. John Roy of Aberdeen, by Dr. Buchanan White and 
by myself. Such notes are in ]:)rackets ; and the initials R., T. and W. 
indicate by whom each is added.— y. W. H. Trail.^ 
RANUNCULA CEJE. 
Thalictrum alpinum Li7in. Borders of Loch Callater, but 
rare. 
Anemone nemorosa Liitn. Abundant in the woods. 
Ranunculus floribundus Bab. There appears to be a 
small form of this in the reservoirs. It is probably the R. aquatilis 
of Dickie's " Botanists' Guide." 
R. hederaceus Linn. In the valley, but rather rare. 
R. Flammula Li?in. Common ; especially in its creeping 
and rooting form, which is often mistaken for R. reptans Linn. 
R, auricomus Linn. In the woods in several places. 
R. acris Linn. Common even at high elevations. All that I 
saw appeared to be R. Borseanus Jord. 
R. bulbosus Linn. Is probably not unfrequent in the 
valley. 
R. repens Linn. Common. 
Caltha palustris Linn. Common. A small form is abun- 
dant even to a great elevation. 
Trollius europaeus Linn. Abundant in the woods. 
FUMARLACE.E. 
(Fumaria officinalis L. up to noo feet, W.) 
CRUCLFERyE. 
Barbarea vulgaris R. Br. Rarely at Castleton. 
Arabis petraea Li^in. On the shingles by the river Dee, 
having been washed down from above. 
A. hirsuta R. Br. Rare.
