282 The Irish NahiraUst, December, 



Two plants recorded from Achill are omitted from tliis list, 

 nam eh', Saxifraga pedatifida^ reported by A. W. Bennett^ to 

 have been sent from Achill \yy William Andrews, and Erica 

 Mackaii, to which I have already referred. These records are 

 not correct. 



Stations for Rarer Pi^ants, Varieties, &c. 



The following notes give particulars as to segregates and 

 varieties noted, and the distiibution of the rarer plants. 



Ranunculus aquatilis, L. — The Batrachiau Ranunculi diX^ represented 

 by one, or possibly by two species — ?A\ heteiophyllus in Keel Lough 

 and Sruhillbeg Lough, and ?A\ tiichophyllns in pools on Keel Strand. 

 My visit was too late for the gathering of satisfactory specimens, so 

 for the present I have put them under the Linnean aggregate. 



R. scotlcus, Marshall. — Frequent by all the western lakes; specimens 

 from L. Nakeeroge West and Annagh Lake were sent for confirmation 

 to the describer. Rev. B. vS. Marshall. vSeen also in the east, at the 

 original Irish station (Sraheens Lough), and apparently at Lough 

 Gall ("probabl}', root-leaves withered." — B. S. M.) 



Fumaria capreolata, L.— With F. confusa on a sandy bank at Old 

 Dugort. 



Cocfilearia grroenlandica, L. — A tiny Scurvj'-grass.in full flower and 

 fruit, which grew with luxuriant C. officinalis among boulders on the 

 cliffs close to Achill Head, I took it to be this, and Rev. B. S. 

 Marshall confirms the name. Previously known in Ireland only from 



que' North Donegal. 



Polygala vulg:arls, L. — On the Croaghaun cliffs only ; the same large- 

 flowered form as noted from Clare Island. 



Sag^fna maritima, Don., var. densa (Jord.). — Forming dense round 

 tufts near Dooagh. 



SperiTuIarla rupeslris, Lebel. — Along the southern shore, from 

 Achill Head (where it is extremely dwarf) to Camport. 



RadloIai:noides, Roth.— Remarkably abundant on Achill, and ranges 

 from the extreme point of Achill Head to Inishbiggle. A very dense 

 leafy form at Dooega Head. 



Hypericum pulchrum, L., var. procumbens, Rostrup.— A remark- 

 able dwarf variet}', with filiform prostrate stems a few inches long, 

 often terminating in only a vsingle flower, was abundant on Croaghaun, 

 from 1,500 feet up. Mr. A. Bennett writes of it :— " Quite towards var. 

 procnvibens, Rostrup (/.?., Beeby's Shetland plant). Beyond Beeby's 

 specimens, I have seen nothing like yours." Mr. W, H. Beeby 

 writes :— " I think that the Hypericum pulchrum should be referred to 

 vsiY. procu7nl>ens, Rostrup, though it is more robust than the Shetland 

 plant."
