PLANTS FOUND IN KERRY. 118 



C. prcecox. Mr. Bennett tells me this form has been called Carex 

 mollis by Host. In occurred in some plenty on a boggy common. 



Sisyrinchium angustifolium Mill. Through the kindness of Lady 

 Godfrey, of Kilcolman Abbey, I received living specimens of this 

 plant, gathered near Milltown, Kerry, early last June. In Journ. 

 Bot. 1889, p. 86, I have described an unsuccessful search for this 

 plant in the above locality, and am glad, therefore, to see that the 

 Sisyrinchium still exists there, our failure to find it apparently 

 resulting from being a month too late. 



In the following list, plants marked I. are additions to District 

 I. of the ' Cybele Hibernica ' and its Supplement. 



\Aquilegia vulgaris L. A plant or two at Blackwater Bridge, 

 Kenmare Bay, 



*Barbarea prmox R. Br. Roadside near Kenmare. 



Arabis sagittata DC. The typical plant seems rarer in Kerry 

 than a form which approaches the var. glabrata of Syme ; the 

 latter is the common Kerry sandhill form, and has no doubt some- 

 times been mistaken for A. ciliata. I have not yet gathered 

 typical A. sagittata on any of the numerous sandhills round this 

 coast. 



Lepidium latifolium L., is recorded in Smith's « Kerry ' as 

 occurring near the head of Kenmare River. I searched the whole 

 of this rather vague locality last summer, without seeing a trace 

 of this conspicuous plant. 



Iiaphanus maritimus Sm. I. In several places near Darrynane, 

 and sparingly near the Spa, Tralee, and Ballybunnion. 



*Silene noctiflora L. I. A plant or two in a sandy field near 

 Ballybunnion. 



Arenaria serpyllifolia var. leptoclados (Guss.). Along railway 

 near Killarney. 



Elatine hexandra DC. A common plant in most of the lakes in 

 the mountainous part of the county. 



\Malva moschata L. Several localities around Kenmare, as 

 along the River Roughty ; perhaps an escape. 



Trifoliwm striatum L. I. Limestone bluff, Kilfenora, Tralee 

 Bay. 



\Prunus insititia L. Darrynane woods. 



Rosa arvensis Huds. By the River Flesk, Killarney ; Black- 

 water Bridge, Kenmare Bay, &c. Not a common plant in Kerry. 



Pyrus Aria var. rupicola Syme. This variety seems to be the 

 plant of the Killarney Lakes ; I have not yet noticed the type. 



Saxifraga Geum L. I gathered a form of this plant with 

 crenate teeth in several places among the mountains between 

 Waterville and Darrynane, the extreme south-west corner of Kerry. 

 In this character the plant approaches nearer to the Spanish type 

 than to our usual Irish variety which has serrate teeth. Inter- 

 mediate states were, however, found with varying teeth and every 

 degree of hairiness. I found a nearly similar form more sparingly 

 near Tore Lake, Killarney. — S. hirsuta L. Near Waterville; 

 Blackwater Bridge, &c. Not a rare plant, but much less frequent 

 than S. Geum ; one may well hesitate, however, seeing the almost
