FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE.

The field had been for some years in grass, and was then 
(1839) covered with broom. The Alyssum was growing in a 
spot extending over about twenty yards, but most plentifully 
by the side of a large bush of broom. Half of the specimens 
were left, and next year, 1840, I returned to the spot with 
the hope of benefiting from my lenity in the previous sea- 
son ; but after carefully searching the field on three differ- 
ent occasions, not a single plant could be found. In Dr 
Reid’s locality I could never find it, but that field was more 
regularly cultivated than the other, and, though both sandy, 
the former is less elevated. Mr A. Croall.
