FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE. 
29 
year, on the height a little to the north of B aid o van Woods, 
on the old Glammis road, I observed L. diurna ) vespertina, 
and the intermediate var., all growing within the circle of a 
yard, and in flower, but have not noticed either of them in 
the spot since. They were growing among furze and broom, 
and it is possible may have been rooted out with some of 
these. In this instance the idea of hybridity would naturally 
suggest itself, but I rather incline to agree with Babington, 
that variations in colour are common to both species.
