498 IRISH PLANTS COLLECTED IN JUNE, 1896. 



Blox. 9. Thicket by L. Corrib, two miles S. of Cong; most 

 characteristic, with very large peach-pink flowers, and styles ex- 

 ceeding the stamens. — R. cadus L. 4. Sandhills near Rosslare. 

 An allied plant, which I believe to be specifically distinct, is 

 frequent about Clonbur, in both counties, and occurs near Wexford. 

 Mr. Eogers cannot name it at present. 



Potentilla in-ocumhcns Sibth. 4. Near Wexford. — P. reptans x 

 silvestris ? 4. About three miles from Wexford, for twenty yards 

 or so along a roadside hedge. Intermediate in most respects, 

 though also having a certain look of P. jirocumbens ; but the stipules 

 are usually trifid. 



Rosa pimpinelli folia x tomentosa (R. involuta Smith, var.). 8. On 

 limestone between Cong and Clonbur. I also found this in several 

 fresh stations near Clonbur, in E. Mayo. R. tomentosa is remark- 

 ably abundant on the limestone S. of L. Mask, in both counties, 

 having as a rule the stiff, dwarfer habit and straightish prickle:^ 

 which usually help to distinguish R. mollis. It was gathered near 

 Wexford, in two different forms. — R. ruhininosa L. 4. In a hedge 

 about two miles W. of Wexford ; remote from houses, but probably 

 bird-sown. — R. sepium Thuill. 9. Abundant by the shore of 

 L. Corrib, two or three miles S. of Cong ; a handsome plant, 

 uniformly white-flowered, which M. Crepin calls a variety, but 

 without giving it any special name. 



Caucalis nodosa Scop. 4. Banks N. of Wexford Harbour. 



Galium verum L. 4. A small, prostrate, pale-flowered form, 

 abundant on the Rosslare sandhills, seems to be the var. mari- 

 titmim DC. 



Picris echioides L. 4. Embankment on the N. side of Wexford 

 Harbour. Only two or three plants were seen. 



Utricularia intermedia Hayne. 9. In a ditch near L. Corrib, 

 about a mile and a half S. of Cong. 



Salvia Verhenaca L. 4. Roadside banks, Rosslare. Marruhium 

 also occurs here, but is evidently an escape. 



Chenopodium ruhnim L. 4. The var. pseudo-hotryoides Watson 

 is associated with the type in hollows among the sandhills at 

 Rosslare. 



Polygonum maculatmi Trimen & Dyer. 4. One plant was found 

 on the quay at Wexford, where it is apparently a mere casual. 



Orchis incarnata L. 4. Sandhills and rushy pastures both N. 

 and S. of Wexford Harbour. 9. Moory ground S. of Cong. 



Ophrys apifera Huds. 8. On a hill just behind the village of 

 Clonbur. 



Habenaria hifolia R. Br. 9. Extraordinarily plentiful this 

 season about Claremorris and Hollymount ; also seen near Cong. 



SisyrincJiium californicum Dryander. The strange occurrence of 

 this W. American plant near Rosslare, already recorded on p. 366, 

 is still a complete puzzle to me, in the absence of precise local 

 knowledge. All I can at present say is that I never saw anything 

 look less like an alien, and that the introduction of this species, 

 which does not appear to be a garden favourite, is difficult to account 

 for by the surroundings.
