Sphenolohus mimffus (Crantz) Stepb. *Sphen. Fearsoni (Spruce) 

 Stepli. Found by Messrs. Owen and Wilson, growing sparingly on 

 boulders on the N.E. side of Slievemore. This beautiful plant was 

 first described from specimens gathered by Mr. W. H. Pearson on 

 boulders below DeviFs Kitchen, Cwm Idwal, Carnarvonshire, Since 

 then its distribution has been extended, for it is recorded from six 

 yice-comital areas in the British Isles, several of which are in 

 Scotland. In August 1913 we found it on Ben Douran, Argyll- 

 shire, and it has been discovered also in a few localities in the 

 County of Merioneth. *Sp)heri. exsectus (Breidl.) Steph. ; Spheii.

Anastrepta orcadensis (Hook.) Schiffn., — not uncommon on 

 Slievemore, scattered among mosses and other liepatics. This forms 

 a third record for Ireland.

 Lindb., D. ; C. media Lindb., S., D. ; C. leucantha Spruce has a very 

 limited distribution in Ireland having been found only in Killarney, 

 West Galway, and Clare Island previous to its discovery by Canon 

 Lett and Mr. McArdle on Slievemore, where it occurs on peat at 

 the foot of the mountain. It is not known to grow in England 

 and has only lately been added to the flora of Wales, but is well 

 distributed thnnighout Scotland. 



Noicellia curvifolia (])icks.) Mitt. 



Odontoschiama Sphayni (Dicks.) Dum., S., D. 



Adfdan th as dfcipicns ( Hook. ) Mitt. We met with a depauperated 

 form of this hepatic on rocks at the summit of Slievemore, a rather 

 \uuisual habitat. A. dac/ortieunis Douin & Lett. As Mr. Macvicar 

 mentions in the Handbook to British Hepatics^ this beautiful species 

 is a survivor of the pre-glacial period, when the climate of these 

 islands was warmer than it is at the present time. It is allied to 

 u4. nnci^ormis (Tayl.) found in Tierra del Fuego at the extreme 

 southern end of South America. The fruit is unknown. The plant 

 bears a close resemblance to Anastrepta orcadensis in habit, in 

 fact we mistook it for that plant at first : the dentate postical 

 lobe, however, separates it from the commoner hepatic and this
