Trifollum flllforme, Linn.— At Currabinny with the preceding. 

 Apparently an addition to the flora of Co. Cork. 



Orobanche major, Linn.— On furze in Currabinnj T wood, Cork 

 Harbour. 



Orobanchc minor, Sutt— Abundant on Trifolium pratense in a field 

 near Flat Head. Further on Linum augustifolium and Leontodon 

 hispidvs were observed, the latter rare in West Cork though pre- 

 viously noticed by me near Carrigaline. 



Euphorbia amygdaloides, Linn.— Abundant over a considerable 

 space about the western extremity of Oysterhaven. This gives a 

 welcome extension to the restricted range of one of our rarest Irish 

 plants.

ALLIUM SCHCENOPRASUM, L- IN IRELAND. 



BY REV. E. S. MARSHALL, M.A., F.L-S. 



In July, 1895 (and again in 1896) I discovered a flowerless 

 garlic, thinly scattered over about two miles of the limestone 

 tract lying immediately south of Lough Mask, K. Mayo 

 (extending to within 100 yards of Co. Galway, though I could 

 not trace it across the border, where it probably occurs), which 

 had quite the habit of Chives ; the blooming of one plant now 

 at length justifies my opinion. The nature of the locality 

 forbids all reasonable doubt as to its wildness, and I think 

 that a careful search will result in its being found elsewhere. 

 The inflorescence of A. sibiricwn from the Lizard, long grown 

 in my garden, hardly differs except in the much shorter 

 styles (perhaps a variable character), but their habit is quite 

 distinct ; the stouter, very glaucous, recurved leaves of 

 sibiricum contrasting greatly ^ith the green, straight foliage 

 of Schccnopi'asum. Yet, in spite of their constancy, they are 

 scarcely more than varieties of one species, as Babington and 

 Hooker have ranked them. The wild Mayo plant, owing to 

 the shallowness of the soil, was only from two to four inches 

 high in those dry summers.
