NOTES ON THK KERRY FI,ORA, 1902. 



BY RKGINAI^D W- SCULIyY, F.I^.S. 



A FEW days spent last summer by my friends, the Rev. E. S. 

 Marshall and Dr. Shoolbred, at Cloghane, in the Dingle 

 peninsula, and a fortnight by myself in North Kerry, resulted 

 in the finding of several interesting plants. Unfortunately, 

 almost continuous rain at Cloghane practically put an end to 

 mountain work on the Brandon range, the chief object of 

 my friends' visit to this remote spot. The Rev. E- S. 

 Marshall has kindly placed a marked " I^ondon Catalogue " 

 at my disposal, from which I have abstracted the more 

 interesting among the plants they observed. In the following 

 list the records taken from the above are followed by the 

 initials M.S., my own initial being added — M.S. 6* 5. — 

 where the plants were found by us when working together. 

 Records without initials are my own. Additions to Dis- 

 trict I. of " Cybele Hibernica," 2nd Edition, are indicated, as 

 usual, by ** I," while those followed by "i" or "2" are 

 additions to the Kerry sub-divisions of " Irish Topographical 

 Botany." 



Ranunculus Drouctii, Godr. — i. Coast marshes about Fermoyle, 

 near Cloghane, Kerry vS. ; and near Tralee, Kerry N : M.S.

Ardfert, Kerry N. ; the only Kerry locality known to me.

 Mr. H. W. Pugsley, who kindly looked over a parcel of Capreolate 

 Fumatories for me, and named specimens from the above localities, has 

 reserved a form which differs from any described by him in his " British 

 Capreolate Fumatories," Jonrn. of Bot., 1902, pp. 129-173, for future com-
