Rocky seashores — occasionally. Fl. mid. June tiU mid. Aug. 



Known to Templeton in 1800, who noted it at Carrick-a-Rede near 

 Ballycastle, Co. Antrim. The frequency of tree maUow in cottage 

 gardens round the coast, taken in connection with its scarcity in similar 

 gardens at a distance from the sea, points to the conclusion that it was an 

 original native of our maritime rocks, from whence gardens about the 

 shore were stocked.
