About Loughgall, More N. H. R. ! In Mr. More's paper and Cyl>. 

 Hib. this tree is'admitted as a native at Loughgall. I did not find 

 it anywhere in the county in such situations as to justify an un- 

 questioned admission to the indigenous flora.

 from a cottage a little north of Loughgall; not, I believe, wild
