ON THE FLORA OF PERTHSHIRE.
By G. CLARIDGE DRUCE, M.A., F.L.S.
( Continued from p. 1 6 8. )
Rubus Selmeri, Lind. Near Lawers, Killin, and Blairgowrie.
Probably the R. villicaulis of the "Flora of Perthshire."
R. danicus, Focke. Near Blairgowrie, East Perth. New to the
vice-county flora.
R. Lindebergii, P. F. MuelL Killin.
R. saxatilis, Z. Ben Heasgarnich.
Dryas octopetala, L. On Ben Heasgarnich, in fine flower.
Geum rivale, Z. Ascends to 3100 feet in Isla.
Potentilla Sibbaldi, Hall.,
f. Ascends to 3000
Thulachan.
feet on Glas
Alchemilla vulgaris, Z., var. alpestris (Schmidt). At 3000
Glas Thulachan. It also occurs on Ben Heasgarnich, Lawers,
where it descends to 400 feet on Loch Tay, Ben Laoigh, etc.
feet on
var. filicaulis (Buser). On shingle by Loch Tay, near
Tyndrum, etc. ;
Blairgowrie, etc.
A. alpina, Z., is mentioned as growing on Creag-na-Chaillach in
Sibthorp MSS. of 1783.
Rosa involuta, Sm., is recorded for Perth in the " Trans. Linn.
Soc." (1816), p. 184. This appears to be R. spinosissima x
tomentosa (mollissima, Willd.). No notice is taken in the
"Flora of Perthshire" of the numerous references to Perthshire
Roses made by Mr. Woods in the " Trans. Linn. Soc.,"
vol. xii., already referred to.
Among these are R. heterophylla,
Woods, there described from Finlarig ;
R. scabriuscula, Sm.,
from the sides of Loch Tay, where I have seen it near Lawers
it is now put as a variety of R. mollissima, Willd., which is
synonymous with R. tomentosa, Smith.
R. mollissima, Willd., var. resinoides (Crepin
as a var. of R.
tomentosa), I gathered near Lawers some years ago ;
and it
was named by M. Crepin. Mr. J. Cosmo Melvill's Rosa
Borreri from Glen Artney
is also referred by M. Crepin to
this species.
R. Eglanteria, Linn.,
"
Sp. PI.," ed. i., 1753 (a name which supersedes
R. rubiginosa of the " Mantissa " of 1771), appears to be
scarcely native in Strath Tay,
native in East Perth.
