I904- Scuiyi^Y. — Notes 071 the Kerry Flora^ 1903. 79 



Hieracium orimeles, W. R. lyinton {H.saxifragujn, Fries, var. ^;7>//<f/.?j, 

 Hanb). — I. i, 2. By the Roughty river, above Morley's bridge, 1900. 

 Sparingly on cliffs in the Horse's Glen, Mangerton, 1889. In some 

 abundance on rocks near the north end of the Upper Lake, 

 Killarney, 1901, and more sparingly along the east side of the same 

 lake, 1903. This is a puzzling Hawkweed, coming near to 

 H. ar^ciitcimi in general appearance, and it is satisfactory to find that 

 both Mr. Hanbury and the Messrs. lyiuton agree in their identifi- 

 cation of the Kerry specimens. Donegal is the only Irish county 

 from which this plant has been previously recorded. 

 H. sparsifollum, lyindeb — I. i, 2. Sparingly about Morley's bridge, 

 &c., Roughty river, 1899 (as H. gothicum, Fries), and abundant on 

 Poulgorm bridge, and on a stony island in the River Clydagh, 

 Upper Glenflesk, 1899-1903 (as H. rigidtim, Hartm.). A large series 

 of plants has enabled the Messrs. Linton and Hanbury to combine 

 my former records of H. gothicum and H. rigidum under H. sparsi- 

 follum, of which the Clydagh river plant seems a form or variety. 

 Both H. gothiciuji and H. rigidutn must, therefore, be withdrawn as 

 Kerrj' plants. 

 H. vulgratum, Fries. — This must be withdrawn for Kerry N. ; Mr. 

 Hanbury tells me that Dr. Elfstraud has definitely named my 

 Mangerton plant H. orimeles as above. 

 H. borealet Fries — This must also go from the Kerry list for the 

 present. A large series of this fine Hawkweed from Morley's bridge 

 and Drohidnagower, previously recorded by me {Cyb. Hib., 2nd Ed.) 

 as H. boreale, having been recently sent to Messrs. Linton and 

 Hanbury, they have decided that it is a new form, a description of 

 which will, I hope, soon be published by the Rev. W. R. Linton. 

 Leontodon hlspidus, Linn. — Very sparingly on the railway near 

 Killarney, growing almost on the ballast, a most unsatisfactory 

 station. This is the only time I have seen this plant in the 

 county, although it already has two old Kerry records standing to 

 its credit. 

 Anagallis cceruiea, Schreb. — I. 2. One plant near Mahony's Point, 

 Lower Lake, Killarney : M.S. The only record I know of for Kerry. 

 Centunculus minimus, Linn. — Some new stations are: roadside 

 south of Slaheny bridge, Kilgarvan ; roadside between Dooaghs 

 railway station and sandhills, and on damp wastes about Lough Beg; 

 roadside near Reen, north of Killorglin : M.S. 

 Verbascum virgatum, Stokes. — This is, no doubt, the plant re- 

 corded b)^ Mackay {Mack. Rar.) under the name Verbascnmpulveruientum, 

 as found " on the College grounds at West Green-lane, near Kenmare, 

 county of Kerry, where it was observed by Mr. George Clarke in 

 August, 1804." It is interesting to find that it still holds its ground, 

 nearly a dozen plants being vSeeu in 1903, a little west of Green-lane, 

 about two or three miles east of Kenmare. "College grounds," no 

 doubt, refers to land owned at the time by Trinity College, Dublin.
