THE PLANTS OF WKSTMBATH. 



BY H. C. I^BVINGE, D.I.. 



During the past season a considerable number of species and 

 varieties of plants not previously recorded from this county, 

 or from District VII. of Cydele Hibernica, have been discovered, 

 almost altogether by my friends the Revds. E- F. Linton, 

 W. R. lyinton, and E- S. Marshall, who paid me a visit in 

 July last, and to whom I am indebted for much valuable 

 information kindly afforded. 



Among: the Rubi especially, as might be expected in a 

 country which had not previously been examined for the 

 genus in any but the most casual manner, many interesting 

 discoveries were made by the Messrs. Linton, so much so 

 indeed that several of the species collected have not as yet 

 been finally determined. 



LIST OF SPECIES. 

 Caltha palustrls, L., var. procumbens. Beck (VII.) fide An 



Bennett. — Shores of Brittas Lake, Knock Drin. This plant appears 



to be very near C. radicans, Forster, rooting at the nodes of the 



branches, and with deltoid toothed leaves. 

 AquIIe^ia vulgaris, L. — Shore of L. Derevaragh near Knock Body. 



This plant has been already recorded from the county ; but in the 



present locality it has every appearance of being indigenous, 



whereas in those previously mentioned it is doubtfully so.]
