By a singular fatality this interesting moss, which was first found in 



Ireland by Templeton, has been doomed to be overlooked. Described as 



British in Flora Britannica, 1804, and as Irish by Turner, later in the 



same year it, nevertheless, was not noticed in Muscologia Britannica, 



_1827_, nor in Flora Hibemica, 1S36. Dr. Moore, also, was imaware of 



its^history, and wben making his list for the Eoyal Irish Academy, in 



1872, recorded it from the south of Ireland only. Nevertheless this 



plant was published 68 years previously as occurring in Colin Glen, and 



Mr. Davies' confirmation of the original record was 13 years prior to the 



publication of Dr. Moore's List of Irish Mosses.
