1899.] Praeger.— Notes on " Cybele Hibemica." 15 



A. alpestris, Schmidt. 



VIII. Gaeway, W.— Recess. IX. Seigo — Keishcorran. X. Tyrone 

 — Omagh, Miss M. C. Knowles. XII. Antrim — Dunseverick. 

 A. filicaulls, Buser. 



II. Tipperary, S.— Fethard. III. Queen's— Arderin and Grants- 

 town. V. Louth — By the Dee at Kearney's Cross. VI. 

 Gaeway, S.F.— Woodford. VII. Tipperary, N.— By the 

 Shannon above Portumna. King's — Shannon Harbour. 

 Longford— Longford. IX. Roscommon— Mote Park. X. 

 Tyrone— Omagh, Miss M. G. Knowles. XII. Antrim— 

 Knockagh. 

 Sedum anglicum, Huds., and S. acre L. — In the central counties 

 both of these, the latter especially, are frequently deliberately 

 planted on walls and housetops, apparently with an idea that they 

 bring luck, as in the case of Sempervivum tectortim. 

 Slum Iatifolium, L.— XII. Antrim. — Dickie's Glenarm Park record 



is certainly erroneous, and might with advantage be abandoned. 

 Picris hieracioides, L. — By no means extinct in Ireland. Grows in 

 profusion on railway banks east of Portarlington, and again north 

 of Athy ; in the former station it has been abundant for the last five 

 years. 

 Lobeiia Dortmanna, L-— XII. Not to sea-level in Antrim. Lough 



Neagh is about 50 feet above O.S. datum. 

 Vaccinium Oxycoccus, L. — V. The only record in Cybele is a vague 

 one of the year 1772 ; a few recent ones may be welcome : — Kiedare 

 — Nurney and Carbury. Meath— Lough Sheelin, and four miles 

 E.N.F. of Athy. Louth— Ardee Bog. 

 Hottonia palustris, L.— XII. Whitla's Downpatrick record should 

 not be ignored. The plant extends here over a wider area than at 

 Crossgar, and is more firmly established. 

 Solarium Dulcamara, L— VII. "No locality available ";— Long- 

 ford — thickets by canal near Woodlawn. 

 Calami ntha officinalis, L- XII— Was never in Glendun. A speci- 

 men of the original gathering, sent me by Rev. S. A. Brenan, is 

 Stachys arvensis. 

 Stachys Betonica, Benth.— X. These notes are misleading. I 

 never found the plant in Armagh, though I searched for it carefully. 

 See /.A 7 ., ii., 156. 



Plantago media, L Has been recorded from XII. Antrim— At 



Lisburn and Larne (I.N., v., 31 1) ; Derry— Magilligan {Proc. B.N.F. C, 

 1897-8, p. 437). 

 Atriplex portulacoides, L.— X. Need hardly be bracketed, as it 

 grows in enormous profusion all along the opposite side of the 

 river, and no doubt further plants would turn up on the Armagh 

 bank if looked for. 

 Sallx IYIoorei, H. C. Watson.— " = S. herbacea x nigricans ? " The latest 

 critical opinion on this willow, founded on a study of the living plant 

 as well as dried specimens, places it under herbacea x phylicifolia. 

 (Linton, Journ. Bot. xxxiv. 471, 1896).
