'-of North America, but perfectly naturalised in this 
locahty. When or by what means their introduction 
was effected is as yet unknown. 
6. Clayionia alsinoides occurs near to Scone 
Palace, in a plantation at Duncrub, and also near 
Murrayshall—at the latter place in great abundance. 
It was introduced into Britain in 1794, and is now 
quite naturalised in the above-mentioned localities. 
It has recently been found in the west of England. 
Its native place is Nootka Sound, on the western 
coast of North America. 
7. Claytonia Siberica ha^s this summer been dis¬ 
covered by two of our members, Messrs Dawson and 
Henderson, growing in a small plamtation near Dun¬ 
crub, parish of Dunning, associated with Claytonia 
alsinoides j both plants were in considerable quantity 
and apparently perfectly naturalised. It was intro¬ 
duced into this country in 1768, and is a native of 
Eastern Siberia. 
8. Mimulus luteus —a beautiful plant, and most 
abundant along the banks of our river. It is, I 
believe, over 30 years since it w^as first observed in 
this locality. It is now very widely diffused 
throughout Scotland, and has been found occasionally 
in England. Its native country is the province of 
Chili, in South America. 
9. Petasiies alba grows by the river side, foot of 
Perth Nursery. It is an early ffowerer, its thyrsus 
of white flowers attracting the attention of the prac¬ 
tical botanist as early as February or March. It 
occurs in a wild state in several parts of continental 
Europe, and is perfectly naturalised m several locali¬ 
ties in Great Britain. 
10. Fetasites fragrans grows at the foot of a hedge 
beside Barnhill, and is apparently determined to 
maintain its position, as we have seen it in that 
locality some 5 or 6 years. Its flowers are of a 
reddish hue and sweet scented. Its native habitats 
are Southern France, Italy, and the island of Sicily. 
11. Rosa alpina grows on the north-west side of 
Kinnoull Hill. It was discovered several years ago 
by Dr Buchanan White, our President, by whose 
perseverance several plants in this neighbourhood.
