SYNOPSIS OF GENERA AND SPECIES OF MALVE.E. 239 



B ridel, found at Cromaglown, Killarney, by Dr. Moore and Dr. 

 Carrington, was collected by Sir J. D. Hooker, in Lord Auckland's 

 group, and Campbell Island, N. Zealand. Bartramia llalleiiana 

 Hedw., collected by Dr. Moore, in Collin Glen, near Belfast, is also 

 found in North and South America, Fuegia, Australia, Tasmania, 

 and the mountains of India and Africa. Hookeria lateoirens Hook. 

 & Tayl., one of the most beautiful mosses which is found in the 

 West Indies, luxuriates at 0' Sullivan's Cascade, Killarney. These 

 are but a few instances in which these minute plants demonstrate 

 that, in climatic conditions, Ireland can compare favourably with 

 many distant lands in the tropical and sub-tropical parts of the 

 world.
