BY DAVID MOORE, PH.

MRA. \ DUBLIN: ; HODGES, SMITH, & Co., 104, GRAFTON-STREET. LONDON: JOHN VAN VOORST. 1866. “Hane varie gentes antiquo more sacrorum Ideam vocitant matrem, Phrygiasque catervas Dant comites, quia primum ex ollis finibus edunt Per terrarum orbes fruges ccepisse creari.” LIneretius de nat Rerum, Lib. ii, 611. s e PREFACE. —~——— In explanation of the title which we have adopted, as the name of Cybele may not, like that of Flora, be familiar to our readers, it will be well to premise that Cybele was worshipped formerly as the ‘goddess of the Earth in Asia. Her name was first introduced in connexion with modern botany by Mr. H. C. Watson, who con- sidered that it might appropriately express the distribution of plants upon the earth’s surface, and who accordingly employed it as the title of his great work, ‘ Cybele Britannica.” The present work originated in a desire to furnish not only a revised list of the wild plants of Ireland, but also a classified summary of their localities. Thirty years having now elapsed since the publication of Mackay’s “Flora Hibernica ;” within which period. many additions have been made to Irish Botany, many plants have become better known, and the range of others has been greatly extended. With the view of meeting the requirements of Geographical Botany, we have endeavoured to arrange our materials somewhat after the plan of Mr. Watson’s “ Cybele Britan- nica” (whence our title); and thus we hope that the details collected will be found methodized in such order as to be available to those who study the range of plants, while the traveller will also be able to use our book as a botanist’s guide through Ireland. With three* excellent and portable “ Floras” in the hands of British Botanists, it has been thought unnecessary to draw up fresh descriptions of the Irish species; this would have too much increased the bulk of our volume without adding to its usefulness. And, as some addi- tional species may be hereafter found in Ireland, we believe that the use of some book containing descriptions of the entire series of British plants will be found advantageous. * Hooker and Arnott’s British “ Flora.” Babington’s “Manual of British Botany.” Bentham’s “Handbook of the British Flora.” Dr. Steele's “Handbook of Field Botany” will also be found a convenient pocket companion. , iv PREFACE. Our scope being thus limited, we have endeavoured to include in a compendious form, as much information respecting the localities and range of Irish plants, as can be given within a short compass. On account of the fewness of the observations hitherto made on the upper and lower limits of the elevation of plants, we have preferred to reserve the complete details of this part of our subject for a future edition. And here we would. especially recommend this interesting branch of study to those of our botanists who are , in the habit of spending a part of the Summer in a mountainous district. A rough estimate of the upper and lower limits may be made from the Ordnance Survey map, on which the heights are carefully laid down, but it is especially desired that careful obser- vations of both upper and lower limits be taken with the barometer (or sympiesometer) in each of our mountain districts separately, since this is the only way to secure data for a just estimate of the influence of climate on the upper and lower limits of plants, as the “zones” and “regions” in Donegal must range to very dif- ferent heights from those in Kerry or the East of Ireland. We be- lieve that little is gained by the statement that a species descends to sea-level in one district, while it ascends to 3,000 feet in another; it is only by comparing both upper and lower limits‘in each different range of hills, or at least in each of the chief groups that any useful results can be expected. The elevation of many species is carefully noted in the MS. catalogue of the Flora of the county of Londonderry, drawn up under the directions of the officers of the former Ordnance Survey of Ireland; and Dr. Dickie’s “ Flora of Ulster” is another source from which we have frequently drawn— we can only regret that more details were not given by so accurate and careful an observer. For the localities, we have endeavoured to lay the foundations altogether afresh upon recent and reliable authority, having received from numerous correspondents, some twenty tolerably complete county lists. With these we have incorporated most of the stations given in the works of Threlkeld, K’Eogh, Browne, Wade, and in the Floras of Lady Kane, Mackay, Power, Dickie and Tate. Re- ference has also been made to many detached papers, and to private contributions which have been furnished from various quarters. CONTRIBUTORS. v Feeling convinced that such is the only course by which a reliable work can be produced, we have not hesitated to discard many species considered as Irish, but respecting which we have not suc- ceeded in obtaining authentic information or specimens. By this course, more is left open for the investigation of those observers who may consent to assist in the preparation of a more complete work, which we trust will yet be accomplished as the requirements of science shall demand. It is to the botanists of Ireland that we especially appeal; there is an ample field yet open ra the explora- tion of the flora of their native country; and if our book serves but to mark one step in advance it will not have been compiled in vain. In every case of doubt no pains have been spared to try and arrive at the truth, and we trust that our many correspondents will accept our thankful acknowledgment for the unwearied courtesy with which they have replied to close and troublesome enquiries. To Mr. Isaac Carroll, the well-known botanist of Cork; ‘to Professor George Dickie, of Aberdeen; to the late Right Hon. J. Wynne, of Hazel- wood; to the Rev. Samuel Madden; to Mr. T. Chandlee; to Mr. S. A. Stewart, of Belfast ; to Miss S. Grubb, of Clonmel; to Mr. F. J. Foot, of the Geological Survey of Ireland; to Mr. John Douglas; to the Rev. T. Warren, of Ennis; to Mr. J. Morrison; to Admiral Jones; to Professor Melville, of Galway; to Mr. David Orr; to Mr. J. Sullivan, of the College, Cork (who jointly with the late Professor E. Murphy, furnished a list of the plants of Cork county) ; we are especially indebted for localities. From Professor C. C. Babington, of Cambridge, and Mr. H. C. Watson we have received assistance of various kinds. Our valued friends, Mr. W. Carruthers, of the British Museum, and the Rev. W. W. Newbould, have con- stantly aided us, both in the revision of our proof sheets and by consulting the works of the earlier English botanists, not accessible in Dublin.; to Mr. Newbould we are further indebted for a tran- script of Dr. Patrick Browne’s catalogue. Mr. M. J. O'Kelly, of Rochestown, has-very kindly allowed us to consult an interleaved copy of the “ Irish Flora,” which formerly belonged to the late Mr. John White, and contains many notes left by him. We are bound especially to acknowledge our obligations to Dr. E. Perceval Wright and Mr. W. Archer, who have given us the best of their advice and vi PREFACE. support, both in planning and in carrying out this first attempt at a Cybele Hibernica. To the British Association for the advancement of Science our thanks are due for a grant of £25 towards the publication of our book ; nor are we less grateful to the many friends whose subscrip- tions have enabled us to bring out our work in a shorter time than could have been otherwise accomplished. All communications respecting the discovery of new localities for rare species, the occurrence of any plant in a district not entered in our tables; together with observations on the mountain altitudes of the different species will be most thankfully received and acknowledged by D. Moore, or Arex. G. ay ae BOOKS RELATING TO THE FLORA OF IRELAND. (Arranged in the order of publication.) Threlkeld, Caleb, M.D. ‘ Synopsis Stirpium Hibernicarum” Dublin, 1726.

The Latin names and order of the plants are taken almost ‘entirely from Babington’s Manual of British Botany, fifth edition, 1862. When different Latin names are used in Hooker and Arnott’s British Flora, or in Bentham’s Handbook, these are quoted as synonyms in the first line, under the specific name. Plants whose claims to be considered species are doubtful are given as sub-species, in italic type, in the centre of the page. The signs prefixed to the specific names are used :— {+ For plants which appear native, but may possibly have been introduced at a remote period. t For plants probably introduced, but where some doubt exists. * For plants certainly introduced (whether designedly or unin- tentionally) by man, but which now maintain and propagate themselves in wild-looking places without human assistance. [ Includes many sfecies, which have either been planted, or are not thoroughly established beyond the influence of man. The districts have been already defined in the Introduction, and are also shown on the map. The latitude relates to Ireland only, and the range is given as far as it can be expressed in a few words within the space of the line. The “Types” are throughout borrowed from Watson’s Cybele Britannica (vol. iv.) as a means of comparison with Great Britain. ‘British type” signifying, briefly, general throughout Great Britain. “ English type,” Southern in Great Britain. “ Germanic type,” South-eastern in Great Britain. ‘ Adlantic type,” Western or South-western in Great Britain. “Scottish” (and “‘Intermediate”), Northern in Great Britain—more abundant in Scotland than in England. ‘Highland type” includes the mountain species, or Alpine flora. The initials are used :-— C. C. B., for Professor C. C. Babington; ZF. C., for Isaac Carroll, of Cork; D. M4, for David Moore; and A. G. M.,, for Alex. G.

The station at Portrane is the only one in which there is any probability of the Clematis being native; and even here the seed may have been conveyed from plants cultivated in the vicinity. In the Appendix to Threlkeld’s “Synopsis Stirpium Hibernicarum” (1726), Dr. Thomas Molyneux says that he could never meet with the Viorna or Traveller’s Joy in Ireland. B 2 RANUNCULACES.

In 1864 it occupied all the railway banks from Derriaghy to Hillsborough, and occurred in great profusion in borders of fields in the valley of the Lagan, chiefly on a sandy soil.

It is very variable; one of the most distinct forms is that figured in English Botany (tab. 1896) under the name of R. scabriuscula (Winch), whose flowers are nearly pure white, delicately tipped with crimson, and its leaves more glandular than in R. villosa and R. tomentosa ; it retains these charac- ters in cultivation, and has come true from seed for two generations. Another remarkable form, common on the trap and limestone rocks of Antrim, has the leaves less hairy, the spines on the shoots shorter and not much hooked, with small flowers, resembling those of &. micrantha.

It must suffice to say that the four varieties noticed in the principal British Floras have all been found in the north of Ireland, viz., R. Forsteri, R. sarmentacea, R. dumetorum, and &. surculosa; while Mr. Baker, who has kindly examined a large series from the counties of Antrim and Derry, recognizes among them the forms lutetana, dumalis, urbica, dumetorum, pruinosa, subcristata, andevagensts, verticillacantha, and Blondewana, of his “Review of the British Roses,” and several others which he has not yet described.

This is the only record of the occurrence of S. Geum, in Connemara, and no specimens were preserved ; and as Professor Babington himself thinks the plant may have belonged to some variety of S. wmbrosa, it seems best to consider the locality uncertain for the present. Var. g elegans (8. elegans Mackay). Top of Turk Mountain, Killarney; Elor. Hib. Connor hill, Kerry; C. C. B. S. elegans (Mackay) seems about equally related to S. umbrosa and to S. Geum; but the characters and colour of the flower are those of the latter, It is well known that S. Geum varies extremely in size and degree of hairiness, as well as in the dentation of the margins of its leaves. Mr. James Drummond, a good practical botanist, has long ago expressed an opinion that S. Geum, S. hirsuta, and S. umbrosa, are only varieties of the same species; and he par- ticularly mentions that he has seen a plant of S. Geum on the top of a rock, and five or six varieties, including S. hirsuta and S. umbrosa springing from seed at the foot of it. Obs.—S. Andrewsii (Harvey) thought to have been gathered at the head of Glen Caragh, Kerry, is now supposed to be a garden hybrid (See British Flora, Ed. 8); but this ques- tion cannot be considered solved until something more is known of the parent species. If we may judge from cul- tivated specimens, S. Andrewsii appears closely allied to S. Guthriana, which is often cultivated in gardens. 4. S. stellaris (Linn.)—Starry Saxifrage.

A form with unusually broad and fleshy leaves is said to grow wild on the western shores of Ireland, and is often cultivated under the name of “Irish Ivy.” Whether this be the true “ H. Canariensis” we have not been able to determine, but it has eight rays to its scales, and is very unlike the Ivy here given under the name of “ Hodgensii.” Another variety, with the upper leaves deeply cut, and rarely 12 to 15-rayed scales on the stems of the panicle, occurs on walls at Merrion, and in the Phoenix Park, Dublin. Var. 8 Hodgensit (Nob.) This variety, made known by Mr. Hodgens, and noticed 136 CORNACEE. [ Cornus. by Dr. Mackay (Flor. Hib., p. 135), is closely allied to the “palmate” Ivy often cultivated in gardens. It is remarkable from the resemblance which its leaves bear to those of a Passion-flower ; they are deeply cut, 3-7 lobed, and usually cuneate from the base. This Ivy is said to have been found growing wild near the former Nursery Gardens at Dungans- town, Wicklow, and is, we believe, the same plant which is often inserted in nurserymen’s catalogues as H. Helix, var. incisa. The scales on the panicles are 12 to 14 or 15-rayed, and Dr. Seemann has referred it as a variety to 4, canariensis (Journal of Botany, Vol. iii., p. 201), bat we believe that it should rather be placed under H. Helix, Whether the plant reported as found in Kerry, and in the South Isles of Arran, in Galway Bay, be the a A. canariensis, is a question that must be left for further inves- tigation. Some leaves récently received from the Azores seem to agree partly with the so-called “ Irish Ivy,” others come near to H. Regneriana. ORDER XXXTII.—CORNACEZ. CORNUS Linn. 1.

Dr. Patrick Browne also mentions the Mistletoe as occurring “In Betulis, Castle-mac-Garrett, tantum.” This locality is near Claremorris, in Mayo; but it seems possible that the bushy, nest-like, excrescences so often seen upon the Birch were mistaken for the Mistletoe. ] ORDER XXXIV.—CAPRIFOLIACEA.

We have seen no Irish specimen, and should have excluded this species, but that our accurate correspondent and friend, Mr. Carroll, feels quite sure that he has gathered G. uliginosum (Linn.) at Ballitore; but he believes that it does not grow in the South of Ireland. Mr. J. Drummond gives only Bally- phehane bog as a locality; and in the “Flora of Cork” the unlikely station of “hedges” renders the species at least doubtful. G. uliginosum is termed frequent by Dr. Dickie, in the “Flora of Ulster,” but has not come under the notice of D. M., in the north of Ireland, or of A. G. MW. in the counties of Galway and Mayo.

S. Scorodonia (Linn.) is recorded in Smith’s “ Kerry” as growing on the sea coast near the Magherie Islands in Tralee Bay. This is, we believe, the only authority for its occurrence in Ireland, and the locality has not been verified by recent observation. Obs. Limosella aquatica (Linn.) was supposed to have been found in Connemara; Wade Rar. ; but has not come under the notice of any other botanist. P 210 SCROPHULARIACEE. [Melampyrum. MELAMPYRUM Linn. 1.

RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF IRELAND: BEING A FIRST SUPPLEMENT TQ THE CYBELE HIBERNICA. BY .A. G. MORE, F.L.S., M.R.LA. Reprinted, by permission, from the Proceedings of the Royal Trish Academy. DUBLIN: PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS, BY M. H. GILL. 1872. RECENT ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF IRELAND, &c., &c. Tax present Paper originated in a desire to review the progress that has been made during the past six years in investigating the localities and distribution of Irish Plants; and I have, therefore, with the help of my friend and partner, Dr. Moore, put together in a connected form the several items of information which have accumulated up to this time, from various sources, and which, together with the results of our own occasional excursions, will furnish a tolerably complete record of what has been done since the summer of 1866, when our book, the “Contributions towards a Cybele Hibernica” appeared. In a country so well known as Ireland, that has been searched botanically, since the time of Threlkeld and Patrick Browne, by Templeton, Wade, Drummond, Mackay, &c., and in our own day by other resident as well as travelling botanists, it cannot be expected that many flowering plants remain to be added to the Flora. It is rather in the regular and systematic survey of the country, in the more exact and critical discrimination of species, and in the study of the introduced plants that advance may be looked for. That the last few years have not been altogether barren of results will be evident when we come to recapitulate the various addenda. For the long list of new plants and new localities which I now have the pleasure to lay before the Academy, we are in great measure indebted to the diligence and kindness of the numerous friends who have continued to entrust us with the result of their observations; and we are glad to think that among them are some whose attention and interest were perhaps first awakened, or at least directed to a profitable end, by the use of our Cybele Hibernica, Foremost among those to whom we are thus indebted are :— Mr. R. Clayton Browne, jun., of Browne’s Hill, who has contributed a number of localities from the County of Carlow, etc., and has thus C4) filled up many of the desiderata in district iii. He is also the first botanist who has noticed Crepis setosa in Ireland. — The Rev. T. Allin, of Avoncore, has devoted much time and atten- tion to the plants of Cork, and even in that well examined district has discovered many new localities, and some plants previously unknown in the county. Among them, Rumex maritimus and Mentha sylvestris deserve especial mention. Mr. S. A. Stewart, of Belfast, has continued his diligent and careful observations, and besides numerous new stations, has found Valeria- nella carinata and Acorus Calamus in the North of Ireland: and Sele- rochloa procumbens (one of the rarest Irish plants) in the very town of Belfast. | : Mr. H. C. Hart has sent us some valuable notes of his many botani- cal rambles in Donegal, and he has also placed at our service a very full catalogue of the plants of the Southern Isles of Aran, the most complete that we have seen. He has also found Brassica adpressa for the first time in Ireland, and rediscovered Alyssum calycinum at Port- marnock. ; Mr. J. Morrison, of Spring-hill, Enniscorthy, has kindly allowed us to examine his Herbarium, in which we have found, together with many other interesting plants, Irish specimens of Oxalis stricta, Geranium nodosum, Erythrea pulchella, and Cochlearia anglica. Mr. R. M. Barrington, of Fassaroe, has supplied many localities from Wicklow and Waterford, and we are indebted to him for ascer- taining that Cuscuta trifoldi is permanently established as a colonist in the clover fields about Fassaroe. Mr. Dowd, of the College Botanic Garden, has largely contributed towards filling up the list of district vii., and has found, for the first time in Ireland, Malva borealis, Berteroa incana and Centaurea panicu- lata. He also, with Professor E. P. Wright, has been the first to ascertain the immense and surprising abundance of Stsyrhynchium Bermudiana over the low meadows lying between Woodford and Lough Derg, in some of which it actually constitutes a large proportion of the hay crop. Our reasons for still continuing to doubt the nativity of this plant in Ireland will be found fully given in the latter portion of this Paper. It will suffice here to say that a plant which has quite re- cently become established, with every appearance of a native, in Queens- land, Australia, and also near Christchurch, in the South of England, may in Ireland have had a similar origin, and therefore cannot any longer be cited with confidence as indicating a former connexion between the American and Irish Floras. From the Rev. S. A. Brenan, the Rev. 8, Madden, Mr. John Doug- las, Miss E. M. Farmer and others, we have received continual and most useful contributions. Besides these sources of private information, we have freely drawn upon Seemann’s, now Trimen’s, “Journal of Botany,” and availed ourselves of the information given by Dr. Sigerson, Dr. E. P. Wright, Mr. 8. A. Stewart, Mr. R. Tate, Mr. W. Andrews, Mr. G. H. Kinahan, and the late Mr. F. J. Foot in their published papers, the titles of which will be fully quoted hereafter. ae In a copy of Threlkeld’s ‘Synopsis Stirpium Hibernicarum,” belonging to the Royal Irish Academy, are a few MS. notes left by some former owner, from which we have extracted those that seemed sufficiently important. One of these memoranda supplies a probable clue to the author of the list of plants in Harris’s ‘‘ Down,’’ whose name appears to have been Isaac Butler.* Last, but not least, we gratefully acknowledge the kindness of Dr. R. Templeton, Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, who has most liberally favoured us with the loan of the MS. ‘‘Catalogue of the Native Plants of Ireland,” which was drawn up between 1794 and 1810 by his father, the eminent naturalist, John Templeton of Belfast. In enumerating the plants added to the Irish Flora since 1866, it will be convenient to arrange them under the following heads :— Summary oF ADDITIONS. Undoubted natives, 8. Trifolium subterraneum, E. Salix Grahami, N. W. Trifolium glomeratum, E. Draba rupestris, N. W. Scirpus parvulus, E. Galium cruciatum, N. E. Aira uliginosa, W. Pyrola rotundifolia, Midl. Of these the last three, printed in italics, have before now been recorded as Irish, though in 1866 we did not think that there was sufficient authority for their admission as such. All eight are well known to occur in Great Britain, but at the time when first found in Ireland neither Scirpus parvulus nor Aira uliginosa had been gathered for many years. Two of the eight are Western and Alpine, thus showing that some- thing may yet remain to be done in the mountain botany of this country. Four are Eastern, three of them having been found on the coast of Wicklow, within a short journey from Dublin. Of these, Zrifolium glomeratum is the only species of our present addenda which belongs to ‘Watson’s Germanic or South-eastern type. Draba rupestris is given in the seventh edition of Withering’s «‘ Botanical Arrangement,” as found plentifully in Leitrim and Sligo by Mr. E. Murphy ; but as Draba incana was not recorded by Mr. Murphy, though it is abundant on these mountains, while D. rupestris is very scarce, there is reason to fear a mistake was made in the name. Galium eruciatum, long ago recorded in Harris’s ‘‘ Ancient and Modern state of the County of Down,” as occurring near the Cathedral at Downpatrick, had quite escaped our notice, as it had that of Mackay ; but having ascertained that it still grows in this locality, and has recently been found at Colebrooke, Fermanagh, we are very glad to restore it to its proper place in the Flora. * A Botanist, and maker of Astrological Almanacks, who died in 1756. oe Pyrola rotundifolia was included in How’s ‘ Phytologia Bri-- tannica’”’ so long ago as 1650, as having been found by Mr. Heaton in a bog by Roscrea, in the King’s County, a locality not yet verified, but which may prove correct, though in all other instances, except at Multyfarnham, we have satisfied ourselves that either P. media or P. minor have been gathered in the alleged Irish localities for P. ro- tundtfolia. : Natives, but doubtful as species 3. Thalictrum Kochii Epilobium tetragonum (verum.) Potamogeton Lonchites. The first two are critical plants, and would no doubt be classed as varieties by a great many botanists. Potamogeton Lonchites (‘luck) is a new name applied by Dr. Boswell Syme to the Potamogeton from the River Boyne, which we referred doubtfully to P. heterophyllus ; and if correctly identified with the American species, this is one more American plant occurring in Ireland, though found nowhere else in Europe: but it is difficult to feel quite sure, when dealing with a genus of plants so variable and so little understood as the Potamogetones. Plants probably introduced, 3. Erysimum cheiranthoides. Mentha sylvestris. Tamus communis. The first two have already been admitted in the works of Mackay and others; but we now for the first time are able to give satisfactory localities. It is surmised that Zamus communis was planted at Hazle- wood by the late Mr. Wynne. Plants certainly introduced, But well established in the wild state, 3 :— Acorus Calamus. Hippophae rhamnoides. Cuscuta Trifolii (‘‘ Colonist,’’) the first two having been planted, the last accidentally sown when mixed with agricultural seeds. Though planted at Courtown, it is barely possible that Hippophae may be native on the sandhills further south, according to what we hear from Mr. J. Morrison. Casuals. That is, plants certainly introduced by man, and which cannot be considered permanent additions to the Flora, being waifs and strays Ce from cultivation, or weeds springing from seeds conveyed by accident, 14 :— Cardamine impatiens. Valerianella carinata. Brassica adpressa. Crepis setosa. Berteroa incana. Centaurea paniculata. Malva borealis. Carduus setosus. Geranium nodosum. Campanula rapunculoides. G. pheum. Mentha Requienii. Oxalis stricta. Cynosurus echinatus. Nearly all these are, no doubt, recent introductions, and most of them will probably disappear in the course of a few seasons. Valeria- nella carinata and Crepis setosa may possibly establish their hold on the ground, and thus in time become entitled to rank as ‘‘ Colonists.” Thus there are thirty-one plants, which, after deducting casuals and a few that have before been borne on the Irish list, will leave at least twelve species to be reckoned as genuine additions to the Flora; and this I think is no inconsiderable result, and far exceeds the additions made to the English and Scottish Floras within the same time. Still, this scarcely increases the total number, as we have on the other hand to deduct ten plants, viz. : SPECIES TO BE REMOVED FROM THE LIST. Brassica oleracea. Not a native, and nowhere well established. Genista tinctoria. Not to be found at Killiney, some error ? ?Chrysosplenium alternifolium. Thought to have been planted near Belfast, and we fear that the other stations are erroneous. Campanula latifolia. C. Tracheliwm mistaken for it. PArctium majus. Name doubtful, as the only specimen is im- perfect. Calamintha Nepeta. Was C. officinalis. Chenopodium intermedium. Now thought to have been C. murale. Salix procumbens. Was S. phylietfolia. Potamogeton lanceolatus. Was a form of P. polygonifolius, Eriophorum alpinum. Some error, or change of specimens. Among the discoveries of localities for scarce plants not new to the Flora, we have: Neotinea intacta. Found by D. Moore on the shores of Lough Corrib in Mayo, associated with Ophrys apifera, Potentilla fruticosa, and other species characteristic of the Burren District, and therefore leading us to expect the discovery of this rare little orchid in other localities intermediate between Cong and Castle Taylor. Rumex maritimus. Found by the Rev. T. Allin in Cork, this being the second Irish locality. Arundo Epigejos. Gathered by Mr. H. C. Hart in Great Aran Island, this making the third locality in Ireland. ( 8) Diotis maritima. Found at Carnsore Point, Wexford, by Mr. J. Waddy. A new station for one of the scarcest British plants. Equisetum trachyodon (Mackaii Newm.) at Blarney, and Callitriche autumnalis at Killarney, both unexpectedly found to range to the South of Ireland. Eriophorum latifolium at Roundstone. Range of a very local species extended to the West of Ireland. Helminthia.echioides. Range extended northwards to Antrim, and another instance of a local southern species occurring in north-east Ireland. Adiantum Capillus-veneris. Limerick, Mayo, and Donegal added to the few counties in which this very local Fern has been found. Poa compressa. Ballycastle and Portadown, two new districts for a very scarce grass. Sclerochloa procumbens, Belfast, previously collected at Cork only. Galium uliginosum, Erythrea pulchella, Carex axillaris. New localities for three scarce plants, of which we had previously seen no Irish specimens. The extension and increase of alien weeds is illustrated by the spread of — Anacharis Alsinastrum. Diplotaxis muralis. Veronica Buxbaumii. Melilotus officinalis. V. peregrina. Rumex pulcher. Crepis taraxacifolia. Sisymbrium Irio. To these we may perhaps add: Sisyrhynchium Bermudiana. Orobanche minor. Cuscuta Trifolii. Valerianella carinata. While as examples of decrease we have: Carex Buxbaumii. Eriophorum latifolium. C. paradoxa. Euphorbia Peplis. Lathyrus palustris. Trichomanes radicans. Arundo stricta. Erica ciliaris. Some of these have suffered from drainage and the reclamation of bogs, and through the recent operations of lowering the level of several of the large lakes. Huphorbia Peplis, from inroads of the sea or changes in the beach, while the decrease of Zrichomanes alone is to be attributed to the unscrupulous depredations of plant-collecting tourists. We now proceed to enumerate the localities in regular order, pre- mising that whenever the word “ District’’ is placed before a numeral, it indicates that the plant is an addition to the Flora of that pro- vince. * Clematis Vitalba (Linn.)

A. Stewart, has not succeeded in discovering this plant, and thinks, from the nature of the locality, that it may have been introduced. Hence we feel compelled for the present to leave its claims to a place in the Irish Flora undecided. ; *Hesperis matronalis (Linn.)—4, Formerly plentiful and apparently wild at Rockmount, between Ferns and Enniscorthy; J.

Andrews in 1845 (London Journal of Botany, iv.), and had been previously recorded by the late Mr. Murphy, in the seventh edition of Withering’s ‘‘ Botanical Arrangement,” as plentiful on the limestone mountains of Leitrim and Sligo; but as no mention is there made of D. incana, which is frequent on Ben Bulben, it must remain doubtful whether that record was not erroneous.

Abun- dant in marshy meadows and pastures along the river on both sides, for four miles, from Woodford to Rossmore, forming conspicuous blue patches among the grass, and with every appearance of a native. Also in fields by the road from Woodford to Portumna, and on a hill half a mile N. E. from Woodford; M. Dowd, and Prof. E. P. Wright, 1870. The plant grows here in such profuse abundance that it seems hyper- critical to challenge its indigenous origin; still, when we see how in- explicably it has originated, how abundant it has become within a few years, and what a strong hold it has taken of the ground at Brisbane, (31) Queensland; as recorded by Mr. C. Prentice, in Trimen’s Journal of Bo- tany, Series 2, vol. i., p. 22 (1872); and considering that in England also it has lately become well established in Hampshire, we may well hesi- tate to accept the ‘‘ Blue-eyed grass’’ of Canada as an indubitable native of Ireland. If the locality in which it occurs is nearly as restricted as that of the S. weranthes at Berehaven, at least the Orchid lies, like all the other American and Iberian plants, quite close to the shore, and is a species of whose introduction or rapid extension we have not any ex- perience. ; : tris fetidissima (Linn.) A very doubtful native of Ireland, where it seems to have been formerly much cultivated, nor are we acquainted with any locality where it grows in a really natural manner.

Profusely on both sides of the Lagan, for six or seven miles between ( 32) Lisburn and Moira, Down; S. A. Stewart, 1866. This is an artificial cut, and the plant does not grow in Lough Neagh, nor in the river whence the Lagan Canal is drawn. Dr. Patrick Browne, in 1788, was aware of its occurrence in the county of Down, but does not give any special locality. According to the best authorities, Acorus Calamus is nowhere native in the west of Europe. Potamogeton rufescens (Schrad.)—2. Plentiful in the Blackwater at Buttevant; Rev. T. Allin. District 3. Ditch near Mountrath, Queen’s County ; J. Morrison. P. polygonifolius (Pourr.) Var. with long, thin, narrowly-lanceolate submerged leaves; var. pseudo-fluitans (Syme.)—8. Plentiful in lakes and streams at Ballinahinch, Connemara; A. G.M. This is the plant doubtfully given in our book as P. danceolatus, and is very characteristic of streams connected with lakes in mountainous districts. The long submerged leaves are very like those of P. sparganitfolius. P. Lonchites, Tuck’? (Syme), in “ English Botany.” District 5. In the Boyne below Navan.

Nors.—According to information lately received, it seems that Plantago media has some claims to be considered naturalized'in the locality where Mr. Douglas -observed it, and which he describes as not far from Malone’s Gravel Pit, to the north of Straffan, where the plant formed quite a carpet, and the pink anthers were very conspicuous.
