| Summary: | long list demonstrates the high standard of botanical recording in mid-18th century Scotland. Excluding about 12 species that were certainly or probably misidentified, 35 species of vascular plant have no present records for the island. These include several geographical and/or ecologically noteworthy plants such as Anacamptis pyramidalis, Apera spica-venti, Calamagrostis canescens, Coeloglossum viride, Cuscuta europaea, Deschampsia setacea, Polygonum viviparum and Vaccinium vitis-idaea. In the manuscript, "[Valeriana] peregrina " may be a transcriber's error for Veronica peregrina. |
