FLORA. OF FORFARSHIRE. 
On an embankment on the Forfar road, a little east from 
Rossie Toll, Mr A. Croall. 
Caltha, L. Marsh Marigold. 
Br. sp. and v. 3. F. 3. 
C. palustris, L. Common Marsh Marigold. H. 6. B. 8. 
— F. April, June. P. 
Common in marshy ground, and by the sides of streams, 
ornamenting the places of its abode with its abundance of ele- 
gant yellow blossoms and beautiful leaves. It occurs from 
the coast to half-way up the mountains, and in specimens 
gathered in Glen Dole, on the mountain Craig Maid, the 
leaves are acutely crenated. ( Var . minor , Bab.) 
Mr Croall has found it with full flowers. 
Var. /3. radicdns , Hook. (C. radicans, Forst.) 
‘‘ In a ditch that runs from the farm-house called Haltoun, 
qn the estate of C. Gray, Esq., of Carse, Forfarshire, 1790,” 
Mr Geo. Don. No other botanist has, I believe, found, this 
plant, but if the station is not destroyed, future research may 
determine whether it is not identical with C. palustre , fi. 
minor , the alpine state of the common plant. 
Trollius, L. Globe-flower. 
Br. sp. 1. F. 1. 
T. Europceus , L. Mountain Globe-flower, or “ Lucken-

Balkemnock Woods, rather abundant. Margin of a small 
loch on the west side of the White Hill, Sidlaw, and on the 
banks of a rill descending from the east side of the White 
Hill into a peat-bog, associated with Galium boreale. It was 
formerly abundant in Meric-moor Wood (now cut down), on 
the estate of Camperdown.
