i9°7- Prakger. — Phanerogams, 6-c, of Lambay. 97 



(Alyosotis col Una) is a local species that grows with it in abun- 

 dance ; and to these may be added the Dwarf Spring Vetch 

 {Vicia lathyroides). The sea-rocks are specially noticeable for 

 the quantity of Golden Samphire {Inula crithmoides) which 

 accompanies the Common Samphire (Crithmum marilimum) 

 in such situations. Its bright yellow flower-heads are set off 

 in August by the masses of the Rock Sea-Lavender (Statice 

 occidentalis) which grow around. The sward above the sea 

 rocks is brightened in May by sheets of the grey-blue flowers 

 of the Vernal Squill (Scilla vema\ growing amid sheets of 

 Sea-Pink, Sea-Campion, and Scurvy-grass. Introduced plants 

 are few in number, and in general confined to the neighbour- 

 hood by the dwellings near the harbour. Two of the most 

 remarkable of the exotic species are Iris jcctidissima and 

 Chenopodium Bonus- Henricus, which occur in stations remote 

 from former cultivation or houses.
