THE FI.ORA OF COUNTY ARMAGH.

\Conchided from page 184.) 



IVIlIium effusuin, Linn. N. — S. 



Killooney near Armagh, W. F. J. spec. ! Ivy Lodge near Newry, 

 H. W. L. spec. ! 



Calamagrrostis hookeri, Syme. N. 



Abundant in a low meadow by the side of Lough Neagh, near 

 the entrance of the Lagan canal, R. LI. P. The plant grows 

 plentifully here, over an area of perhaps a couple of acres, among 

 Lythriini, Lysi?nachia viilgaris, and Phragniites ; Avi a space of a few 

 square yards I gathered 200 stems. Considering its very limited 

 distribution, which in Great Britain is confined to Lough Neagh, 

 its disappearance in some of its stations there, and its extreme 

 rarity in the others, the discovery of a new locality in which it is 

 abundant cannot but be highly satisfactory. More's note (A^. H. R), 

 refers, as stated in Recent Additions ( Jour. Bot., 1873) to Scawdy island, 

 in Tyrone ; the plant has not been previously found in Armagh. 



Agrostis vulgaris, With., var. pumila, Lightf. S. 



Dry field at Cam Lough, and on G. N. railway south of Newry,

 Mullinure, W. F. J. spec. ! Armagh, S. A. S. Lurgan, Portadown, 

 Retreat, Navan Fort, and Bglish, being frequent in the limestone

Quarries at Navan fort, R. LI. P.

 Lough gilly; abundant on the G.N. main line and walls adjoining 

 at and north of Wellington cutting near Newry ; wall of the 

 platform at Goraghwood station, R. LI. P. Frequent in Armagh, 

 growing chiefly on railway tracks, where no doubt the dry 

 gravelly material is the attraction. It is extremely rare in district 

 12, common in district 5.
