294. Viola Riviniana Reichb. — A luxuriant cleistogamous plant which I 

 gathered (I.P.E.) at Killarney and submitted to Mrs. Gregory was at 

 first thought by her to be var. villosa N.W, and M. When it was 

 gathered Professor Graebner and Dr. Riibel both thought it was 

 *F. pseudomirahilis Coste, and as such Dr. Rubel has published it in his 

 interesting paper on the vegetation of Killarney (see New PhytologiU, 

 191 2). Mrs. Gregory is now including it in her new Monograph of the 

 British Violets as a variety, I believe, of the above species. Becker, in 

 his Monograph, treats it as a hybrid of V. mirabilis, a species hitherto not 

 detected in Britain. Professor Graebner was also inclined to think 

 plants gathered on Ben Lawers in Perthshire also came under 

 pseudomirahilis, but with this Mrs. Gregory does not agree. 

 *Var, diversa Gregory. — Near Omagh, Co. Tyrone. 

 *30i (2). V. epipsila Ledeb. — I gathered this at Killarney (I.P.E.) 

 and recorded it in the " New Phyt." 309, 191 1, as new to Ireland. Under 

 the name F. palustris, with which it had been confounded, it had long 

 previously been collected in Ireland, e.g. by H. N. Ridley in Herb. 

 Brit. Mus. This year I also collected it in a bog near Omagh, Co. 

 Tyrone. 



304. V. obtusifolia Jord. — Near Larne, Co. Antrim. 

 309. Polygala vulgaris L. *var. Ballii Ostenf. — Near Ardrahan, S.E. 

 Galway. Practically identical (except in its dark blue flowers) with the 

 plant from the Faroes which my friend Dr. Ostenfeld distinguishes by 

 the above name (see "Botany of the Faeroes," 71, 1901). I have also 

 collected it on the limestone near Inchnadamph, Sutherland, and on Ben 

 Bulben, Sligo. That mountain is the locus classicus for the plant which 

 I have described as a distinct species under the name P. Bahingtonii 

 (Report of Bot. Exch. Club, 191 1, p. 124) which is synonymous with 

 P. vulgaris L. var. grandiflora Bab. A form of P. vulgaris, which may 

 indeed be better referred to P. oxyptera Reichb., occurred at Clifden 

 and Roundstone, Co. Galway ; the sepals are narrower than the fruits, 

 but they are blunter than in typical oxyptera, and the plants have a 

 different habit. 



370. Cerastium vulgatum L. "^var. longirostre (Wich.). — To this must 

 I think be referred plants which occur on maritime rocks near the Giant's 

 Causeway. 



Var. hirsutum Fries, — This also I have noticed on the Antrim 

 coast, at Glengariff, &c. 



Sagina nodosa, Fenze. *var. moniliformis Meyer. — North Bull, 

 Co. Dubhn ; Lough Derg, Co. Clare. At 1,800 feet on the Bulben 

 range, Co. Sligo ; Gweedore, Co. Donegal. 



Gypsophylla porrigens Boiss. — Alien. Galway. 

 421. Montia verna Necker (M. chondrosperma Ledeb.). — Near Sligo ; 

 Killarney. 



■*Var. intermedia (Beeby). — Near Cork. 

 421, M. lamprosperma Cham. (M. fontana L,). — Newcastle, Co, Down ; 

 Shgo. 



435. Hypericum dubium Leers, [H. quadrangitlumL.). — Near Formoyle, 

 Co. Londonderry.
