I04 1^1^ hish Naturalist. June, 
To turn now to the period with which we are more di- 
rectly concerned — the years 1908-1912, inclusive — a satis- 
factory advance has to be recorded. To the Irish list, 13 
species (mostly critical plants) have to be added. These, 
with the numbers of the county-divisions from which they 
are recorded, are as follows : — 
Rubus sulcatus Vest. i. Hieracium cymbifolium Pur- 
Coleraanni Blox., 2, 5. chas, 9, 28. 
adenanthus B. & G., i, 2. JAtropa Belladonna L., g, 35. 
Griffithianus Rogers, 5. Utricularia Bremii Heer, i. 
ochrodermis A. Ley, 15. ochroleuca Hartm., 16, 27. 
Hieracium britannicum F. J. Rhinanthus major L., 8. 
Hanb., 9, 28. *Allium triquetrum L., i, 4. 
ciliatum Almq., 28. Joleraceiim L., 39. 
Of these Air op a Belladonna and Allium triquetrum are 
aUens now admitted as naturalized in more than one locality, 
according to /. T. B. standard, and A. oleraceum is a 
probably introduced species formerly recorded as A. vineale. 
The new county-records include some notable extensions 
of range, such as Pyrola minor and Orohanche rubra from 
Kerry ; Cochlearia groenlandica and Bartsia viscosa from 
West Gal way ; Ceratophyllum demersum from N.E. Gal way ; 
Spiranthes Romanzoffiana from Down ; Hahenaria intacta 
from W. Mayo ; Sisyrinchium angustifolium from West 
Donegal and Antrim ; Leucojum aestivum from Queen's 
Co., &c. ; Car ex paradoxa, Glyceria festucaeformis, G. Fou- 
caudi, and Isoetes echinospora from Clare. 
It is satisfactory to record the re -discovery in certain 
divisions of plants long missing or very rare, such as Vicia 
Orobus, Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi, and Pyrola secunda in 
Antrim, Cardamine amara in Derry, Matthiola incana in 
Clare. 
One or two rare plants which have been reported cannot 
be included in the present list, being either not naturalized 
or else planted where they occur : for instance, Asplenium 
septentrionale in Down (garden w^all at Rowallane, /. N., 
xxi., 150, 154), and Typha angustifolia in King's Co. (Birr 
Castle, where it proves to have been planted (R. A. Phillips)).
