Near Inchewen, parish of Tannadice, Mr G. Don. Den 
of Airlie, on the left bank of the Isla, by the side of the up- 
per walk. But a less suspicious, and undoubtedly indigenous 
station, was lately discovered by the Rev. J. 0. Haldane , on 
the right bank. It is opposite the Castle, at a considerable 
height above the river, and not easily approachable, Rev. J. 
S. Barty. In a hedge near a cottage at the top of the hill 
west from Upper Mills of Kinabor, three miles north from 
Montrose, but I should think not indigenous, Mr A. Croall. 
In the beautiful plantations of Birkhill, on the Fife side of 
the Tay, it seems quite at home, growing among the wild 
hyacinths and woodruff. Its elegance and delicate perfume 
recommend it to general patronage, and it is, accordingly, 
much cultivated in the shady nooks of our gardens. 
THE LILY OF THE VALLEY. Convallaria majalis. 
Fair Lily of the Valley, 
Flow I love thy fragrant flowers, 
“When thy sweetness by the summer wind 
Is breathed among the bowers!
