FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE. 
the height of 3000 feet, but it seems a native of the plains, 
and is abundant on the streams coming from the Sidlaws, 
probably not above 100 feet higher than the sea-level. It is 
plentiful on the Isla, Esk, &c., but these rivers having alpine 
sources, the stations there would not prove the plant to be 
truly a lowland one,” Rev. J. S. Barty. 
I have frequently met with the elegant Globe-flower 
among the mountains in the counties of Forfar, Perth, and 
Aberdeen, but from its stunted appearance, could not look 
upon it otherwise than as an adventurer among these alpine 
rocks, its true home being apparently the moistest parts of 
shady woods. 
Sometimes petalloid leaves occur on the stem a little be* 
low the flower.

Mr G. Don enumerates this in his list, but gives no station 
for it. It occurs in Balgay Wood, near Dundee, but has 
there been planted, as well as Saxifraga umbrosa , &c. 
On the banks of the N. Esk, on the Kincardine side, on 
the farm of Capa, opposite Strickathro, and in the Den of 
Morphie, the plant has been found by Messrs Cruickshank 
and Croall. In the Den of Morphie it appears to be indi- 
genous, covering some acres of a steep brae never cultivated, 
and at a considerable distance from houses, and where I do 
not think it likely that any have ever been, Mr A. Croall. 
In one or two places on the Moor of Craigo, Mr A . Kerr.
