Shore of Lough Neagh near Ellis's cut ; G. C. Hyndman {spec. 



in herb. Eyndman). 

 This plant was at one time abundant in the above localities, but has not 

 been seen there for perhaps 40 or 50 years, and owing to the lower level 

 of the lake, and to drainage of marshes is probably now lost in Antrim. 

 It has, however, been recently found by Rev. H. W. Lett on islets in 

 Closet River, in Co. Armagh. This station, though outside our district, 

 is less than six miles southwest of Selshan. Rev. George Robinson has 

 also found this plant on Scawdy Island, which is further west.
