 First found in Ireland by Messrs. Templeton, Stokes, and Mackay, in 

 the Mourne Mountains, but the statement in Flora Hibemica that the 

 plant was abundant there would seem to be an error. Mr. Templeton' s 

 specimens in the museum herbarium are scanty, and stunted. The 

 localities— Cave Hill, and near Ballyclare —mentioned in Flora of Ulster, 

 are either errors, or they refer to specimens which had been planted out.
