Vaccinium vitis-idaga, Linn. N. — S. 



At south end of Lough M eagh (Templeton), Flor. Ulst. Summit 

 of Slieve Gullion (1,893 feet), and for several hundred feet down- 

 wards, R. LL P. The Loughgall record oi Flor. Ulst. was an error; 

 V. oxycoccos was the plant, and Tartaraghan the station intended. I 

 did not succeed in refinding this plant on the northern bogs, 

 although I kept a look-out for it, in view of Mr. More's recent re- 

 marks in Journal of Botany (1892, p. 88); these bogs lie at an 

 elevation of only fift}^ to one hundred feet, but to judge from the pre- 

 sence on them of such mountain plants as Listcra cordata and Lyco- 

 podiitm selago, the occurrence of V. vitis-ido^a does not appear unlikely. 



V. oxycoccos, Linn, N. 



Bog near Tartaraghan, More N. II. R. Bog at Annaghmore 

 (G. R.), Flor. Ulst. Bog between Annaghmore and Magherv, 

 B. N. F. C. 187 1. Wet bog, Annaghmore (S. A. S.), Herb. N. H. P. vS. 

 Montiaghs bogs, H. W. L. spec. ! Abundant on bogs south of Anna- 

 garriff Lake, north of Lough Gullion, and near Ardmore Point, 

 sometimes forming a dense mat on quite dry turf, R. LI. P. 

 *LigustruiTi vulgare, Linn. N. M. — 



Common near Armagh, W. F. J. spec! Occasionally in wild-look- 

 ing stations, but no doubt escaped, R. LI. P. 



Convolvulus arvcnsis, Linn. N. — S. 



County Armagh (G. R.), Flor. Ulst. Mullinure near Armagh, 

 W. F. J. spec. ! Lanes west of Armagh, railway near Richhill, road- 

 side near Loughgall, and rather common in the Newry neighbour- 

 hood, R. LI. P. 

 C. scpium, Linn., grows abundantly in the Closet river in one to two 

 feet of water, twining up the stems of Scirpus lacustris, among such 

 plants asNuphar, Armoracia, and Cicuta. I do not find any notice of 

 this aquatic habit in the text-books. 

 *Anchusa sempervircns, Linn. — M. — 



Tanderagee, Flor. Ulst. Siipp. 



Lithospcrmum officinale, Linn. N. — S. 



In hedge banks in several places near Loughgall, but sparingly, 



More iV^. H. R. ! Where I observed it was on roadside between Lough - 



gall and Richhill, R. Lb P. Grange near Armagh, W.F.J, spec! 



Ruins of Killeavy church near Slieve Gullion, H. W. L. spec. ! 



L. arvcnse, Linn. N. 



Tartaraghan, in cultivated ground. More N. H. R. 



lYIyosotis rcpcns, Don. S. 



Abundant in the southern hill district; absent from the rest of 

 the country. The distribution of M. palnstris is just the reverse of 

 this, that species being abundant on the northern bogs, and by the 

 low-lying lakes, streams, and canals of the north and centre of the 

 county, and extremely rare in the south, R. Lb P. 



Solanum dulcamara, Linn. N. 



Shores of Lurgan lake, H. W. L. spec. ! Armagh Palace demesne, 

 R. LI. P. Frequently grown in cottage gardens.

 cently, but is a very uncertain plant. 

 Lathraea squamaria, Linn. 



Armagh (G. R.), Flor. Ulst.; this record refers to the succeeding 

 station. In a small copse within the park at Loughgall manor, 

 More N. H. R., and subsequently, G. R.
