FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE. 
E. palustre, L. Narrow-Leaved Marsh Willow-herb. 
H. 112, B. 105. — F. July, August. P. 
Plentiful in ditches and marshes. A slender state, from 
four inches to a foot high, is not unfrequent on the marshy 
banks of streams among the Clova mountains, associated with 
the alpine Epilobii. 
E. alsinifolium , Vill. Chick weed- leaved Willow-herb. 
H. 112, B. 106. — F. July, August. P. 
Frequent by the sides of streams, and on marshy banks 
among the Clova and Glen Isla mountains. Very abundant 
about Feula, and the streams descending from Loch Brandy 
and the Corrie of Clova, in flower and fruit, and much of it 
only in bud, July 1846. Varies in height from two 
inches to a foot, and in the breadth of its leaves : some of 
them are flat, others are more or less concave. Some of 
the smaller flat-leaved specimens approach so nearly to E. 
alpinum , that various bontanists have felt doubtful to which 
species they should be referred ; but, though closely allied, 
and their distinctive character difficult to express in words, 
there can be little doubt that both are good species. 
E. alpinum , L. Alpine Willow-herb. H. 112, B. 106. 
— F. June, July. P. 
In marshy places, and by the sides of nearly all the streams 
and rills among the Clova and Glen Isla mountains, more 
common than E. alsinifolium , but sometimes associated with 
it.

Br. sp. and v. 3. F. 3. 
C. Lutetiana, L. Common Enchanter’s Nightshade. H.

Near Finhaven, Mr G. Don . 
C. alpina L. Alpine Enchanter’s Nightshade. H. 114, 
B. 107- — F. July, August. P. 
Bocky banks of streams above Drumtochty Castle in pro- 
fusion, Mr J. Gruickshank . Stony places by the side of 
Loch Lee, Prof. Balfour. ( Mr G. Don mentions C. al- 
pina and var. /3. intermedia , but gives no stations.) 
Loch Lee is a solitary but beautiful lake among the moun-
