LOCALITIES FOR SOME PLANTS OBSERVED IN IRELAND, WITH REMARKS ON THE 

 GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF OTHERS. 



Though it is likely enough several of the following stations are familiar 

 to other botanical observers, I am induced, at the suggestion of Mr. D. 

 Moore, to offer the present fragment, such as it is, to the Association ; 

 and I am glad of the opportunity thus afforded of discussing one or two 

 other points relating to Irish botany : — 



I. Noticed in County of Armagh during April and May , 1854 (Province 

 xxviii. "Erne" of Babington, see vol. L, p. 248, of the Proceed- 

 ings). 



Anemone nemorosa. A state of this plant, with its petals altogether of 

 a dark rich purple, occurred in an open meadow at Loughgall. 



Ranunculus Lingua. Lake-side at Loughgall. 



Ranunculus auricomus. Hedge banks about Loughgall. 



R. sceleratus. By the lake at Loughgall. 



Nuphar lutea. Lake at Loughgall. 



f Chelidonium majus. Near Loughgall, but, as usual, in suspicious sta- 

 tions only. 



Thlaspi arvense. Cultivated ground at Loughgall. 



Lepidium campestre. Among crops at Tartaraghan ; ditto, var. longi- 

 stylum, with many stems springing from a biennial root, and the 

 style, about twice as long as the notch, occurred in a cultivated field 

 near Loughgall. This variety is likely to be mistaken for L. Smithii, 

 but for its scaly pouch. 



Cardatnine sylvatica. Shaded ditch sides near to Tartaraghan. 



liarharea arcuata. Road sides in several places near Loughgall ; easily 

 known by the widely spreading pods, and flowers larger than those 

 of B. vulgaris.
