IRISH PLANTS COLLECTED IN JUNE, 1896. 499 



Allium ? Schcenoprasum. L. 9. Towards the end of my former 

 stay at Cloubur I had met with a small garlic growing upon a 

 rocky headland of L. Mask, between two and three miles E. of 

 Glonbur, which, except in point of size, reminded me a good deal 

 of the Lizard A. sibiiinuii. This year, to my great disappointment, 

 not a vestige of it was to be seen there ; but a careful search 

 resulted in the discovery of four or five fresh stations (all on the 

 limestone), scattered over an area of two miles or thereabouts. Not 

 a single flowering plant could be found ; indeed, most of the speci- 

 mens were but an inch or two in height, growing as they did in 

 shallow, rocky soil, exposed to the effects of a ten weeks' drought. 

 In my garden the leaves of last year's specimens were six or eight 

 inches long, showing much resemblance to the Cornish chives ; the 

 two plants are, however, clearly distinct. The habit, small bulbs, 

 and aggregated growth are quite right for A. Schcenoprasum, but 

 flowers are requisite for a certain determination. I feel no doubt 

 at all that this is native ; it occurs within 150 yards of W. Galway, 

 and probably extends into that county, though I searched diligently 

 for it without success.

Potamogeton Friesii Rupr. 9. With the last. — P. pusillns L., 

 var. tenuisdmus Koch. 4. Slow stream half a mile N. of Wexford

 Wexford Harbour.

 railway-station. C. disticha grows close by. — C. pendula Huds. 9. 

 By L. Corrib, in the grounds of Ashford House, near Cong. 

 Possibly introduced, but looking like a native ; the locality is in a 

 rather remote part of the demesne. — C. extensa Good., var. pumila 

 Anders. 4. S.E. side of Wexford Harbour; well-marked. I also 

 saw the type, not far off. — C. chri/sites Link. ((7. Jiava var. ci/peroides

 4. Sea-wall N. side of Wexford Harbour. 



Ely mils arenariua L. 4. In several places both on the N. and S.
