FLORA OF FORFARSHIRE. 
in April ; and in March 1847 five specimens, — making in 
all nearly 300, which have been distributed to botanists 
throughout Scotland, England, and Ireland. Thirty of these 
in May 1844, and thirteen in May 1845, were obtained from 
a third station, the east shoulder of the White Hill. 
As a curious coincidence, it may be mentioned, that in the 
same month and year that the Buxbanmia was noticed as a 
native of this county, my friend, G. J. Lyon , Esq., of Glas- 
gow, found it on hills near that place ; and subsequently he 
gathered it on Benledi and the Campsie Hills. 
A great extent of ground, similar to the White Hill sta- 
tion, has been examined on the Sidlaws and the Clova range 
in search of other stations for this rarity, but hitherto with- 
out success.
