WESTMKATH PLANTS. 121 



Euphnma officinalis L. var. ■''•Rostkovicaia Hayne. Bog of Lynn, 

 near Mullingar. 



Rhinantlms Crista -(/alii L. var. y'allax Wimm. & Grab. Bog of 

 Lyun, near Mullingar, in some quantity; much like li. major Ehrh. 

 at first sight. 



Melatitptjrum pratense L. var. latifolium Bab. Knock Eyon, by 

 L. Deraveragh ; a leaf variety that shades off gradually to the type. 



* Utricular la intermedia Hayne. Looked for in several likely 

 localities, but found only on the TuUaghan Bog, by L. Owel ; not 

 flowering, though U. vulgaris L. was blooming freely both at this 

 point and at the other end of the lough. 



*Chenopodiwn rubrum L. Occurring on the verge of L. Drin, 

 and also on wet ground usually submerged at Lord Longford's 

 landing-stage on L. Deraveragh. 



*Potygo)iu)n maculatum. Trimen & Dyer. On the shore of L. Dera- 

 veragh, under Knock Body ; scarce. — *Eume.v crispus x ohtusi/olius. 

 Knock Drin. 



*Salix triandra L. Ditch-bank between Knock Drin and Quarry 

 Bog. — *5. Caprea X viminalis [S. riujosa Leefe). Koadsides, 

 Knock Drin to Quarry Bog and to Mullingar. — *)S'. aurita x Caprea 

 (S. Capreola J. Kern.). Donore, L. Deraveragh. — *S. aurita x 

 cinerea [S. lutescens Kern.). L. Deraveragh. — *»b'. aurita X nigricans. 

 Though only foliage was seen, there can be no reasonable doubt 

 that one large strong bush of this hybrid occurred. The stipules 

 and the cut, wrinkling and thick texture of the leaves, as well as 

 their modified blackening, gave good evidence of aurita. It is 

 likely enough that this bush was native, judging from its situation; 

 it was not evidently planted, as was the case with the one or two 

 subalpine forms that follow. — "*S'. aurita x repens. A good inter- 

 mediate form occurred at the Scraw Bog, and one or two other 

 forms connecting it with repens. Our attention was drawn to the 

 plants by Mr. Levinge. — <S. cinerea L. f. olei/olia (Sm.). A very 

 narrow-ieaved example (which was certainly not crossed by 6'. 

 aurita, as some IS. olei/olia has been found to be) occurred on the 

 Bog of Lynn. — **5. nigricans Sm, and '''S. nigricans x phylicifolia. 

 In some quantity by the mouth of the Yellow Kiver, L. Deraveragh, 

 apparently planted ; not iu a very healthy condition (our host has 

 since found out that this spot was formerly submerged, and was 

 planted with willows, alders, &c., when the level of the lake was 

 lowered). 



'^'Epipactis media Fr. Woods at Knock Drin ; only one specimen 

 seen. iVlr. Levinge had in a previous year noticed this species in 

 another part of tiie grounds, and then, too, only a single specimen. 

 — ■^' Urdus mcarnata L. By L. Deraveragh, under Knock Eyon; 

 Bog of Lynn. 



Spargumum ramosum Huds. var. *microcarpu)n Neumau. Road- 

 side hullo w near Quarry Bog. 



Potainogeton alpuius Balb. Drain from L. Drin. Rare and local 

 in the district. — ■•P. decipiens Nolte {P. lueens x perfoliatus). 

 L. DeraveragU ; fine and plentiful in one spot between large 

 patches of the parent species. — *P. Friesii Rupr. End of L. Ennel
