Notes on the Flora of the North-east of Irela?id. 55 



Cymnadenla albida (Swartz), Rich. — Conlig Hill, Co. Down, 

 R. LI. P., 1891. Glenariffe, Co. Antrim, Rev. S. A. Brenan. This plant 

 was found by Rev. W. M. Hind on Squires's Hill, near Belfast, more than 

 thirty years ago ; it has been refound there by Mr. W. H. Patterson in 

 1893. 



Habenaria virldls, R. Br.— Kilbroney valley, and shore north of 

 Annalong, Co. Down, S. and P. 



H. blfolia, R. Br.— Kilbroney and Annalong, S. and P. By Enagh 

 Lough, Co. Deny, Mrs. Leebody, 1892. 



Llstera cordata, R. Br.— Many stations in the Mourne Mountains, 

 S. and P. 



Neottla nidus-avis, Linn. — Wood above Bellarena station, Co. 

 Derry, Mrs. Leebody, and B.N.F.C. 



Spiranthes Romanzovlana, Cham.— A number of plants by the 

 Bann, near Kilrea, Co. Derry, Mrs. Leebody, July, 1893. Northern 

 botanists were startled by Mr. Praeger's discovery of this extremely rare 

 orchid in Armagh. The announcement that Mrs. Leebody had met with 

 it in County Derry came, therefore, as a further surprise. The flora of 

 the north-east has been most unexpectedly enriched by this valuable 

 addition. 



Sparganium minimum, Fries.--In a small lake near Warren- 

 point, Down, S. and P. Bog-holes west of Scawt Hill, Co. Antrim, 

 R. LI. P., 1887. 



Typha angustifolia, Linn. — In Lough Neagh at the entrance of the 

 Lagan canal, Co. Down, R. LI. P., 1892. 



Potamogeton nitens, Weber. — Annsboro Lake, Co. Down, and in 

 the Sixmile water near Antrim, S.A.S. 



Cladiutn Mariscus (Linn.), R. Br. — Not yet extinct in Co. Down. 

 A few plants still linger on marshy margin of Altnadua Lake, near 

 Castlewellan, S. and P. 



Carex muricata, Linn. — Marshy pasture between Springfield Road 

 and the Forth River above Clowney Bridge, Belfast, Richard Hanna, 

 1S93. Owing to encroachments of the builder, this plant will shortly 

 disappear from this, its second station in the north of Ireland. 



C. stricta, Gooden. — Abundant and luxuriant on several spots 

 around Portmore Lough, Co. Antrim; also on islet on the Antrim side of 

 Lough Beg, and on the Derry side of the Bann below Toome, R. LI. P., 

 1893. These records make an addition to the flora of Derry, and remove 

 all doubt as to the correctness of Templeton's statement of its occurrence 

 at Portmore, almost a century since. 



C. aquatilis, Wahl.— Plentiful in a deep drain in Shane's Castle 

 Park, R. LI. P., 1891. There is no other station for this sedge in the 

 north-east. It was only recognized as an Irish plant in 1883. See Mr. 

 A. Bennett's paper in /. N., 1892. 



C. pallescens, Linn.— Tollymore Park, Co. Down, S- and P. 



C. limosa, Linn. — Marsh at Saul camp, near Downpatrick, 1889, and 

 margin of Lough Ouske, Co. Derry, R. LI. P., 1892. 



Alopccurus pratensis, Linn.— Donaghadee, Co. Down, S.A.S. , 

 1892. 



Milium effusum, Linn. — South of Rostrevor, Co. Down, S. and P. 

 Avena pubescens, Linn. — Dry places by the shore at Craigavad, 

 Co. Down, R. LI. P., 1893. The only certain Co. Down station. 

 Aira flcxuosa, Linn. — Abundant in Mourne Mountains, S. and P. 



\_Sclerochloa procumbens has been destroyed in the small spot it occupied at 

 Belfast by the paving of Albert Quay, where it formerly grew in a dense 

 patch].
