256 IRISH PLANTS OBSERVED IN JULY, 1895. 



Plantago maritima L. 8, 9. S. shores of L. Mask. 



Atriplex patula L. 8. Oughterard. — Vars. erecta Huds. and 

 angustifolia (Sm.). 3. Ferrybank. 



Polijiionum Convolvulus L., var. subalatum V. Hall. 8. Oughte- 

 rard. — P. lapatldfolium L. 8. Clonbur. 9. Cong. — P. maculatum 

 Trhn. & Dyer. 3. A few plants on a rubbish-heap at Ferry- 

 bank. 



Oxijria digijna Hill. 8. Cliffs about Lough-na-dirk-more, Maam- 

 trasua. 



Salix aurita X cinerea. 8. By the river at Maam. — S. aurita x 

 repens. 8. Near Maam. — S.repensh. 8,9. The iovm S . anjentea 

 Sm. is beautifully represented on the limestone S. of L. Mask, but 

 shades off into other forms. The apparent absence of S. Caprea 

 from all the places we visited is strange. 



Junipcrus nana Willd. 8. By Lough-na-dirk-more, Maam- 

 trasna ; scarce. 



Elodea canadensis Michx. This is now abundant in Loughs 

 Corrib and Mask. 



Neottia Nidus-avis Eich. 8. Woods in the Ashford House 

 demesne, near Cong ; Listera ovata also occurs there. 



EpipacUs atrorithens Schultz. 8. Sparingly in a rocky valley on 

 the Clonbur side of Cong, just within Co. Gal way. 



Habeitaria albida R. Br. 8. Rocky pastures at the foot of Mount 

 Gable. — H. viridis R. Br. 9. S. of L. Mask ; scarce. — H. bifolia 

 R. Br. 8. Near Maam. H. chloroleuca appeared to be common in 

 that part of Mayo and Galway. 



Iris Pseudaconis L. Only seen in flower at Maam, where it was 

 the type, and not the more usual British var. acorifonnis. 



Spartjanium ramosum Huds., var, microcarpum Neum. 8, 9. 

 Frequent about Maam and Clonbur ; the only form seen. — S. ajine 

 Schnitzl. 8. Plentiful at the E. end of L. Coolin ; here and there 

 on the W. side of L. Mask. 9. S.E. corner of L. Mask. 



Potamogeton sparganiifolius Lfestad. We could only find a single 

 patch of this in the Maam river, but the quantity may vary with the 

 season ; there was no trace of inflorescence on July 5th. The ap- 

 pearance of the living plant strongly suggests that it may be a deep- 

 water state of P. polygonifolius Pourr., which ascends to 1300 ft. in 

 that neighbourhood. — P. heterophyllus Schreb. 8, 9. Not un- 

 common in L. Mask, and in streams about Cong. — P. angnstif alius 

 Presl (P. Zizii Roth). 8. The type is locally abundant on the N.W. 

 side of L. Corrib, near Maam. Here, and in pools and streams 

 about Maam (Dist. 8 and 9), occurs a somewhat different plant, 

 which Mr. Bennett names "P. an gustif alius, forma = P. borealis 

 Tiselius oh'w." — P. pralongus Wulfen. 8. W. side of L. Mask, 

 about three miles N. of Clonbur. 9. S.E. corner of L. Mask. 

 Apparently quite local. — P. filiformis Nolte. 8. A single fruiting 

 spike of this very rare Irish species was found floating near the 

 shore, close to the first-named station for P. pralongus; further 

 search was made, but unsuccessfully. 



Zavnichellia pahistris L. 9. Mill-pond at Cong. 



Eriocaxdon septavgidare With. 8. Abundant on the N.W. side
