814 WILSON’S OBSERVATIONS. 
prominent than in U. vulgaris. Lower lip curled in the 
margin; no streaks visible on the corolla. The bladders 
on the leaves have valves as in U. vulgaris, with a crest 
formed of two branched filaments. 
4. Rhynchospora alba. Near Killarney, August 4, 1829. 
Leaves channelled and keeled with incurved edges.  Bristles 
at the base of the germen from 8 to 11, rough with deflexed 
spinule ; three or four of the bristles inserted lower than the 
rest, and dilated and fringed at the base. 
5. Rhynchospora fusca. Near Killarney, Upper Lake, 
July 30, 1829. Leaves channelled, smooth. Culm hollow. 
Root moderately creeping. Bristles certainly five, sometimes 
six, at the base of the germen, longer than the seed, rough 
with erect spinule.  Stigmas two. Beak of the seed flat 
with rough edges. Seed compressed, or two-edged. — 
Grows in more swampy situations than Zi. alba. 
6. Galium pusillum? Mucruss, near Killarney, Septem- 
ber 12, 1829. Stems with columnar angles, smooth, except 
below the whorls. Leaves, on the branches usually possess- 
ing in the margin a complete row of deflexed prickles. Seg- 
ments of the corolla 3-ribbed. Fruit roughish; certainly 
not quite smooth. It may be but an erect var. of G. sazatile. 
7. Exacum filiforme. Glengariff, August 22, 1829. Stem 
imperfectly four-sided. Flower-stalks square. Anthers cor- 
date, compressed. Filaments suddenly inflexed above. Seeds 
attached to receptacles placed along each edge of the two 
valves which are not inflexed. Herb not perceptibly bitter. 
The flowers do not open in cloudy weather, and probably 
in the morning only of sunny days.

8. Sium verticillatum. Near Kenmare, August 7, 1829. 
Segments of the lower leaves often forked. General bracteas 
about 7, lanceolate, resembling the partial ones. 
9. Pimpinella magna. Mucruss, September 10, 1829.
