NOTES ON WEST ROSS PLANTS. 347 



A. portulacoidcs L. Muddy saltmarsli near Old Mill, at Port- 

 marnock. 



Euphorbia portlandica L. Abundant at Portrane, near Malahide, 

 with E. Paralias. 



Epipactis paliistris Crautz. In considerable quantity at Port- 

 maruock, one patch extending fully twenty yards, and containing 

 hundreds of plants. In 1872 I found three plants there. 



E. latifolia All. Sparingly in the demesne by the left-hand side 

 of the path most to the westward leading from The Pibododendrons 

 to the Castle. An important addition to the Flora of Howth. 



Hahenaria viridis Br. In a field south-west of the coastguard 

 signal-station, near the tavern (Waldron's) where the "long car" 

 stops. 



\Bromus erectus Huds. Very abundant along the railway-banks 

 near Howth Station. This is one of its favourite description of 

 stations. 



Zostera nana Both, is abundant on the mud below the clubhouse 

 of the Portmarnock Golf Links. It was originally recorded from 

 the Baldoyle side of the estuary by A. G. More. 



Holcus mollis L. This grass seems very scarce on Howth, and 

 I have not met with it in 1897. 



[Lastraa awula Brackenbr. This was, I fear, an error, and does 

 not occur in the Demesne Wood. Some form of L. dilatata was 

 mistaken for it, perhaps.] 



Ceterarh ofiicinanim Willd. Apparently on the increase about 

 the Baldoyle and Sutton districts. Several new localities might be 

 specified for this rare Howth fern. 



Botnjchium Lxinaria Sw. Has been found near Glenaveena, on 

 the south side of Howth, by Mrs. Culverwell. 



(>phio[ilossuin vuhjatum L. Found with the last. This fern has 

 also been recently found by the path leading from Demesne to 

 Much Rock. 



I apologize if I have failed to give credit for any of the above 

 notes to other observers. I am away from reference-books, and to 

 me they are mostly new. 



NOTES ON WEST ROSS PLANTS. 



By E. S. AND C. E. Salmon. 



The following notes refer to plants found in the neighbourhood 

 of Kinlochewc, W. Ross (v.-c. 105), in Aug. 1896; and are supple- 

 mental to Mr. G. C. Druce's "Contributions towards a Flora of 

 West Ross," in Trans. But. Soc. EdinbunjJt, 1894, vol. xx. part 1, 

 pp. 112-171. As will be seen below, we are indebted to several 

 botanists for the determination of critical plants, and we are also 

 under special obligations to Mr. Arthur Jjcnnett for kind help in 

 many ways. New records for the vice-county are marked with an 

 asterisk.
