R. leucostachys, Schleicli (VII.), form with spreading sepals.— 



Crooked Wood and Knock Ross. 

 [R. Drcjcrl, G. Jansen, included previously among the Westmeath 



plants i^Irish Naturalist for May, 1894, p. 98), must now be struck out 



of the list. It has been excluded from the gtli edition of the 



London Catalogue, R. Leyamis, Rogers, having taken its place ; but 



careful examination of the Westmeath plant has satisfied Mr. 



Rogers that it is not his K. Leyamis^ and it must, for the present, 



remain undetermined.]
