QRAMINEJE. 176 



This grass was luniriant in 1871, and plentiful for a few years until 

 the spot was paved. Since that time the plant has been lost, nor can it 

 now he found at Lame — possibly a casual in both places. 



The reported occiirrence at Comber {Flor. Belf.) was an error.

leton, 1794. Brackish ditches at Greencastle, and abundant 



on muddy shores of Belfast Bay ; S. A.S. 

 Reported in Samp's. Sui-v. Londonderry as common. The habitat stated, 

 however, is dry shady places, and this note may be assumed to be one of 

 the very numerous errors which render the lists of plants, in that work, 

 of little value.

Dry banks— very rare. Fl. mid. June till end of July. 

 Down — Plentiful in one spot, among whins, at foot of a stone dyke close
