LEGUMINOSM. 39 



Down—" Orobus sylvaticus nostras, found near Rostrevor, Dr. Sherard " ; 

 Rail. Syn. ed. II. 1696. 

 This does not seem to have been seen at Rostrevor by any botanist 



subsequent to Sherard, and may have been an error, but the fact that it 



grows now in Antrim renders it probable that the determination of Sherard 



was correct.
