maju8 of Jacquin). Car ex acuta must also be expunged. The supposed 

 Hieracium cerinthoides was above stated to be H. iricum. 



Euphrasia gracilis seems to belong rather to E. salisburgensis ; in 

 either case it is the E. nemorosa of Grenier and Godron. But the Garry- 

 land (and Arran) Euphrasia differs much from what I have gathered, 

 as E. gracilis on the heaths and downs of Kent This latter is ap- 

 parently the E. ericetorum of Jordan, but I do not suppose that either 

 is specifically distinct 



Armaria serpyllifolia, var. leptoclados. In cultivated ground at 

 Castle Taylor, gathered at the time for the typical A. serpyllifolia^ 

 which has much larger capsules, &c. 



Fumaria pallidiflora (Jord.). In potato ground at Castle Taylor. 

 The pedicels of my specimen are strongly reflexed ; it is decidedly not 

 F. Borcei. Tho plant appears to have been noticed near Gal way by Dr. 

 Graham, in 1838 (see Proceedings of Edinburgh Bet Soc, in Third 

 Annual Report, p. 55). 



Folystichum aculeatum, Equisetum limosum, Drala verna, and Alnus 

 glutinosa, have also to be added to the list. As it was my object to 

 confine my remarks to the one kind of soil, it is as well to mention here 

 that the neighbouring hills of Roxburgh, &c, of quite a different for- 

 mation and vegetation, were designedly excluded from the district of 

 Castle Taylor. 



A paper by Mr. John Sim, published in " The Phytologist" for last 

 December (N. S., No. 60), seems to call for some remark, inasmuch as 

 there are recorded, as Irish, five species of plants, which no other bo- 

 tanist seems to have met with in Ireland, viz., Caucalis daucoides (near 

 Carlow), Melica nutans (near Belfast), Sedum villosum (near Galway), 

 Stachys germanica (at Galway), and Inula conyza (two miles east of 

 Limerick). 



From a communication, with which the writer has favoured me, 

 and which he has kindly permitted me to make use of, it would seem 

 that his observations date many years back, and that, unfortunately, no 

 specimens were preserved of the plants in question. 



Caucalis daucoides. — From the station given, " in a plantation," it 

 seems likely some other plant (perhaps a Torilis) was mistaken for it. 



Melica uniflora was, in all probability, the grass gathered by Mr. 

 Sim near Belfast, and not the far scarcer At. nutans. Professor Dickie 

 has kindly informed me that the former species occurs in that neigh-
