FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE. 
On the higher mountains growing in dense masses, and 
covered with an exuberance of beautiful rosy flowers, but 
humble in its growth, scarcely rising above the soil. 
S. infiata , Sm. Bladder Campion. II. 44, B. 33. — F. 
June, August. P. ( Cucuhalus Behen , E. Bat.) 
Waysides and waste ground, plentiful. 
/ 3 . hirsuta, Leight. Not unfrequent. In June 1837 
specimens were gathered on Powrie Brae, three miles north 
from Dundee on the Forfar road, forming a link betwixt a. 
and /3 , the calyx and upper leaves being glabrous, while the 
lower leaves and branches only are pubescent. In the same 
place in June 1843 the normal form was flowering, the var. 
being only in bud. 
S. maritima, With. Sea Campion. H. 44, B. 43. — F. 
June, August. P. (N. inflata , / 3 „ Hook. Scot.) 
Abundant on the rocky coast from Arbroath to Montrose, 
growing in dense tufts, and ornamenting the rocks and braes 
with its profusion of large white flowers. I have not yet 
met with it among the Forfarshire mountains, but have re- 
ceived specimens from Glen Tilt in Perthshire, exactly like 
our coast plant. No intermediate states between it and S. 
infiata occur. 
S. Anglica, L. English Catchfly. H. 44, B. 42. — F. 
June, August. A. 
Links near Arbroath, August 1838, W. F. L. Carneqie , 
Esq. Links is a term applied in Scotland to those tracts of 
sandy downs that stretch along the sea-shore, and are more 
or less covered with a maritime pasturage. 
S. nutans , L. Nottingham Catchfly. H. 45, B. 42. 
F. June, July. P. 
Bocks to the eastward of Bed-head, plentiful. 
Boddin, Mr G. M‘Farlane. Duninald, Mr A. Croall. 
Between St Skae and the Den of Duninald, frequent, Mr A. 
Kerr. Bocky coast, Dysart, Air A. Bousie. 
Its flowers, like those of S. noctijlora , Lychnis vespertina, 
&c., exhale their fragrance more freely after sunset.;
