334 The Irish Naturalist. 



Little Island, where in one spot I counted last August over fifty plants, 

 besides individuals on other parts of the island. I also found it the 

 following month in a new station, namel}-, Poorhead, on the south coast 

 of the county, where it is fairly plentiful in cultivated fields and on 

 cliffs. 



Hieracium murorum, I.. — In July last I gathered specimens of this 

 at Fota. This is, I think, its second station in the south of Ireland. 



Convolvulus Soldanella, L.— Stated by Allin to be "probably 

 extinct " at Ballycotton, the only station then known for it in his eastern 

 division of the county. In 1891 I found it plentifiil on the strand near 

 Youghal, thus restoring it once more to a place on the list for that division. 

 I also found it abundant on a strand about two miles east of Lough Hyne 

 in 1889. 



Linaria minor, Desf. — This is now abundant along the railways from 

 Cork to Oueenstown and Youghal, and also in a gravel pit at Midleton. 



Erinus alpinus, L. — This interesting and pretty South European 

 plant seems well suited to our climate, the tops of many old walls in the 

 suburbs of Cork being rendered quite dazzling in the early part of June 

 by its bright rose-coloured flowers. At Blackrock, Douglas, and Victoria 

 Cross, all limestone districts several miles apart, it is spreading rapidly and 

 has made itself quite as much at home as its congener Linaria Cymbalaria. 



Salvia Verbenaca, L. — Clay Castle, Youghal. Allin notes this, its 

 earliest station, as "probably destroyed," but I have gathered it there 

 nearly every summer since 1891. In 1S90I found it plentiful on roadsides 

 near Ardfield, Clonakilty. 



Rumex pulcher, L. — The Fiddle Dock, so very scarce in Ireland, has 

 long been denied a place in the Cork flora, it having become extinct in 

 its reputed station (Friar's Walk, Cork) long before the publication of 

 " C3'bele Hibernica," but I have now no hesitation in placing it on the 

 list once more, this time on better evidence, having found it in the 

 neighbourhood of Whitegate, Cork Harbour, where I have watched it 

 closely for the past two summers. In 1894 I first noticed it growing on 

 an uncultivated portion of Cork Beg Island and also, one plant, by a road- 

 side nearly two miles away. This year I searched more carefully and 

 found it plentiful among the grass and bracken in different places at Cork 

 Beg, and several fine specimens in a third station on the roadside between 

 Whitegate and Fort Carlisle. I described the habitat to the late Mr. 

 A. O. More last year, but he then stated that he did not think the plant 

 was indigenous anywhere in Ireland, so that although it is perfectly well 

 established and appears quite at home in the above-mentioned localities 

 we must still regard it as a doubtful native. 



Milium cffusum, L. — In 1890 I found this rare grass in the woods 

 at Castlefreke, thus making a new record for Allin's western division. 

 This year I obtained good specimens in a new locality, i.e. Lota Wood, 

 Glanmire, where it luxuriates in company with Festnca sylvatica and Carex 

 pendula. 



Koelcria cristata, Pers. — Another of our rarest grasses. Sparingly 

 on Cork Beg Island, 1894. This is its third recorded station in the 

 county. 



Glyceria aquatica, Sm. — Still continues to hold its own in a 

 stream running into the Lee near Cork. 



Bromus sccalinus, L- — Plentiful in a cornfield at Castlefreke, 

 August, 1890. New to West Cork. 



Hordeum pratense, Huds. — Recorded by Dr. Power from three 

 localities near Cork, but noted by Allin as " perhaps extinct in all." In 

 1890 I rediscovered it in one of these stations, a marsh at the Little Island 

 Bridge, and every year since have seen it at the same place. I have also 

 gathered it in a similar habitat at the Blackrock end of Cork Park.
