' 1. C. eplg'ejos [Linn.) Roth. 



Damp shady places — extremely rare. Fl. July {Oyb. Hih.). 

 Derry — Shady, moist, rocky places on Formoyle Hill midway between 

 Coleraine and Limavady ; D.M. Between Maghera and Gar- 

 vagh ; Cyb. Sib. 

 First found in Ireland by Dr. Moore, and not known to occur in any 

 other Irish localities. 



2. C. Bookerl St/me. {C. stricta var. atict.). 

 Gravelly lake shores — very rare. Fl. Jime and first half of July. 

 Antrim — On a small island in Lough Neagh, and in several localities along 

 the shores of the Lough near Antrim ; Ord. Stirv. Londonderry, 

 {as C. lapponica). Island in Lough Neagh near Toome ; Flor. 

 Ulst. {sub C. stricta). On moist flat land on the shore of 

 Lough Neagh west of the old castle in Shane's Castle Park ; 

 Fro/. Babington. Refoimd by R.Ll.P. near the shore at 

 Shane's Castle, 1886. 

 Derry— By the shores of Lough Beg near Coney Island northwest of 

 Toome; S.A.S. 

 First found by Dr. Moore in 1836. This grass is confined, in Britain, 

 to the immediate neighbourhood of Lough Neagh. It is not now found 

 on the islet near Toome where it was originally discovered, and is ex- 

 ceedingly rare on the Antrim, and Derry shores. Rev. George Robinson 

 found it on Scawdy Island in Co. Tja-one, and pointed it out to the 

 Belfast Naturalists' Field Club in 1870, and to T.H.C. in 1878. Seen 

 also, in plenty, on Scawdy by Rev. S. A, Brenan in July, 1887. In 

 addition Mr. Robinson has observed it near Washing Bay, also in Tyrone. 

 The necessity for the removal of this species to Deyeuxia is not apparent.

1. A. canina Li^tn. 



Moors, and heathy bogs— not common, though abundant in some places. 

 Fl. July. Ascends to 1500 feet, or perhaps higher in the Moiune range. 

 Down — On rocky ground by the sea below Holywood ; Templeton. Bog 

 at BaUynahinch, and heaths on moimtains above Newcastle ; 

 S.A.S. 

 Antrim — Cranmore, and near the second lock of the Lagan canal ; Tem- 

 pleton, \%m. Cave Hill; S.A.S. 

 Derry — Heaths, and moory places, not common ; D.M. 



Mr. Templeton doubted if this could be separated from A. alba, and as 

 no one seems to have found A. canina in the stations he records, it is not 

 improbable that his plant was incon-ectly named.
