NOTES ON IRISH PLANTS. 



BY G. CLARIDGE DRUCE, M.A., F.L.S. 



Last year, as a member of the excursion of international 

 phyto-geographers, which was arranged so excellently by 

 Mr. A. G. Tansley, I visited the counties of Galway and 

 Clare, as well as having a short time at Dublin, Mallow, and 

 a dehghtful day at Killarney, finishing at Queenstown with 

 inspecting the magnificent gardens of Mr. Beamish prior to 

 sailing for Plymouth. During this journey we had the 

 advantage of the guidance of Mr. Praeger. This year I 

 motored from Dublin to Enniskillen by way of Navan, 

 Kells, Virginia, and Cavan, and thence by Omagh and 

 Newtown Stewart to Londonderry. We then went over 

 Formoyle Hill to Coleraine, thence to Portrush and along 

 the splendid north coast by the Giant's Causeway, Balty- 

 castle, Whitepark Ba3^ Cushendall, Glenariff, and Glenarm 

 to Larne. Unfortunately I was seriously handicapped, 

 as a long attack of phlebitis had lamed me, so that my 

 walks were of the shortest. Still some interesting plants 

 were collected, which are included in the following notes, 

 which also contain some records from previous visits to 

 Ireland. 



The initials I.P.E. refer to plants seen on last year's 

 excursion ; a number of others collected on that occasion 

 are included in my paper in the 'New Phytologist for 191 1. 



An asterisk is added to those plants which have not 

 previously been found in Ireland, though a few of them 

 have been recently published from these stations. 



The numerals before the species name are those for the 

 same species in my British Plant List. 



Ranunculus acris var. Boraeanus (Jord.). — Rouudstone, Galway (I.P.E.); 

 near Portrush, Co. Antrim. 



106. Fumaria purpurea Pugsl. — Lame, Co. Antrim. 



109. F. Bastardi Boreau. — Roundstone, 1906. 



T12. F. dcnsiflora S. C. — Larne, Cc. Antrim. 



133. Arabis hirsuta Br. var. glabrata (Wahl.). — Aughieglenna Mtn., 

 Co. Clare, 1,000 feet (P. B. O' Kelly, as A. lucido). This plant retains 

 its glabrous character in cultivation. 



185. Sisymbrium orientale L. — Alien. Lame Harbour, 191 2.
