Gatway Excursion. — Phanerogams, 6*r. 251 



Cuscuta Epithymum, Murr.— Still abundant on sandy fields east 

 of Killeany and at Portmurvy, where the stems colour the pasture 

 with brilliant patches of dark red, pink, and straw yellow. 



Lit h OS per mum officinale, L.— Near Kilronan, and at the Seven 



Churches. 



a. Pcdicularis palustris, L.— In several spots on the North Island; 

 noted with doubt in Mr. Hart's list.

 ronan, &c. 



A. Veronica polfta, Fr.— Roadsides between Kilronan and Port- 

 murvy. 



Calami ntha officinalis, Moench.— Abundant about the Seven 

 Churches, and thence to Bungowla. 



a. IVIarrublum vulgare, L.— Abundant about the Seven Churches; 

 recorded by Mr. Hart from the Middle Island only. 



A. Chenopodlum rwyyruxvi, L. — In great abundance on the muddy 

 margins of the brackish lake at Port Cowrugli. A very rare plant 

 in Ireland, and usually near houses or on disturbed ground, so that 

 it is of interest to find a station M-liere it is abundant and evidently 

 native. So far as I am aware, it has not been found in the West of 

 Ireland before. 



A. Atriplex hastata, ly. — Shores in several places. 

 A. Rumcx crispus, L. — In several places. 



A. Rumex sangruineus, L. var. viridls (Sibth). — Roadsides in 

 several parts of the island. 



Sallx repens, L. — Portmurvy. Var. argentea Avas gathered by Prof. 

 Fitzgerald between Portraurv}^ and the Seven Churches. 



Junlperus nana, Willd. — In several places. The Aran Juniper is 

 certainlyy. nana (which was recorded by Prof. Balfour in 1852) and 

 noty. cojiiniunis. 



a. Iris Pseud-acorus, Iv. — Seen in several places; Mr. Hart gives 

 Middle Island only. 



(I. Juncus cffusus, L.— In several places; previously recorded from 

 Middle Island only. 



A. Luzuia multlflora, Lej.— West of Kilronan. 



Potamogeton polygon Ifolius, Pourr. — At Lough Atalia. Icould 

 not find there P. natans, given by Mr. Hart. 



A. Eleocharis palustris, R. Br.— Brackish lake on the shore at 

 Port Cowrugh. 

 Carex glauca, Scop. — Grows remarkably tall on Aran. The leaves 

 are commonly 2 to 3 feet high, and the stems 3 to 4 feet. 



a, Carex f lava, L.— Near Oghill. 



A. Brlza media, L.— Rocks east of Portmurvy. 



a. Phragmltes communis, Trin.— Marked in my list as observed, 

 but locality not noted, as I only subsequently noticed that it is 

 recorded from the South Island only. 

 Calamagrostis Epigejos, Roth.— This rare grass, elsewhere in 

 Ireland known in Co. Derry only, was discovered by Mr. Hart 

 near Killeany, and on the " inland" side of the road near Oghill. 

 It was not seen on the island bv Messrs. Nowers and Wells, and 

 Miss Knowles' re-discovery of It in Mr. Hart's first station is 

 therefore satisfactory. During my stay I was well pleased to meet 

 with it in several places near the sea not far from Port Cowrugh, 

 and to find that it grows in some abundance among rocks near 

 the sea a little north of Portmurvy Fier, and thence at frequent 

 intervals all the way to the Seven Churches.
