PZMPZirElbZia Linn. 



1. P. saxlfragra Linn. Burnet Saxifrage. 

 Kocky pastures on the liills, and by sandy seashores, and dry roadside 

 banks— frequent. Fl. July — Sept. 



There are two, perhaps three, distinct looking forms of this species. 

 The neat elegant plant of rocky pastures is very different from the large 

 (2-3 feet) coarse form of the sandhills and roadsides. This latter has more 

 the aspect of P. magna Linn, and some luxuriant examples correspond 

 to P. DissECTA Retz., which Prof, Babington places under that species.

 lesson and Drumbo, also abundant by the coast from Strang- 

 ford to Newcastle, and on Mourne Mountains ; S.A.S. A 

 very large form on roadsides near Clough, and on sandhills
