Order YIII. DROSERACEJE 



DROSERA Linn. Sundew. 



1. I>. rotundlfolia Zinn. 



Common on peat bogs throughout the district. Fl. July and Aug. 



[D. INTERMEDIA. Hayne. There is much uncertainty as to this species, 

 and it is better to leave it, for the present as doubtful. Templeton noted 

 it as "common Birky moss, etc." Possibly it was found 80 years ago, but 

 now lost by drainage. Birky moss seems to have disappeared long since. 

 The record in Irish Flora is doubtless an error; the remark " rather larger 

 than the last " {D. rotundifolia) would point to a form of D. anglica. The 

 locality stated is very vague and extended—" marshy places at the foot 

 of the Moume Mountaias." It has not been found in that region by 

 subsequent botanists.] 



2. D. ang-llca Hzidson. 



Wet peat bogs — widely distributed, but much less common than the 

 round-leaved simdew. Fl. mid. June till mid. Aug. 

 Down— Bog between Greyabbey and Donaghadee ; Templeton, 1794 



(stiU foimd there). Cotton moss ; Flor. Belf.

the parish of Rasharkin ; S.A.S. Abundant on the Garron 



plateau ; R.Ll.P. 

 Derry — Common on the "flow-bogs" of Culmore, Maghera, andMaghera- 



felt ; D.M. Bog at BeUaghy, and also by the Bann opposite 



Portglenone ; S.A. S. 

 Var. & D. OBOVATA M. ^' K. 

 Probably not uncommon, but has scarcely been looked for. It is pro- ■ 

 bable that this was the plant noted by Templeton as D. intermedia. 

 Antrim — Slogan bog near Eandalstown ; Cyh. Hib. Sparingly in bog above 



Dimloy ; S.A.S. ( ! C.C.B.). In Tyrone just outside our district ;
