have vainly tried to confirm; no Dodder appears to grow 

 there now. The first station mentioned above, however, is 

 just on the opposite side of the river, not a mile from Mayden 

 Tower, so it appears probable that this was the plant Threlkeld 

 found. 

 VI. Cl^ARE — abundant on fields east of Killeany and at Portmurvy, 

 Great Island of Aran, 1895. This is the plant recorded as C. 

 Epithymwn in report of Gal way Field Club Conference ( I.N. iv., 

 251), and is, I believe, the plant recorded under the same name 

 by Messrs Nowers and Wells in lourn. Bot, June, 1892, as it 

 grows exactly in the stations described by them. Since pub- 

 lishing the Botany of the Galway Excursion, I grew suspicious 

 of this Dodder, and Mr. Arthur Bennett has confirmed my belief 

 that it is 0. Trifolii, not C. Epithymum. 



Ltnaria vulg^arls, Mill. 



IV. WiCKi/DW— on ditches and in fields about Rathnew. I believe 



indigenous here.

Common along the Great Western Railway and its branches, but 

 seldom found elsewhere. Both the above stations were far 

 from the railway.
