Br. sp. and v. 14. F. 10. 
P. anserina , L. Silver-weed. H. 98, B. 90. — F. May,

The common form, with the leaves green above and silky 
beneath, is very abundant by waysides, and along the coast, 
often adorning the arid sands with its elegant pinnated leaves 
and bright yellow flowers, that are delicately fragrant. 
/3. sericea , Koch. This variety, having the leaves clothed 
on both sides with a silvery pubescence, is frequent along the 
coast, and I have picked it in various places from JNinewells 
to Auchmithie.

June. P. 
On rocks not far from the Loups of Kenny, rare ; but 
common on rocks on Sidlaw Hills, Mr G. Don . On some 
particular part of these hills Don must have met with this 
plant rather abundantly, but I have not yet detected it in 
my perambulations. 
The Loups of Kenny are a series of very beautiful water- 
falls on the Melgum between Lintrathen and Airlie, and the 
rocky banks being richly wooded, tend much to increase their 
picturesque effect.
