PZAN'TS EXCLUDED, 301 



northeast of Ireland, to have reference only to /. nana. In Donegal the 

 true plant grog's luxuriantly, but we have no knowledge of it3 occurrence 

 in our district. 



87. Junlperus sablna Linn. Savin. 



" Sahina folio Cupressi, on Slieve Donard" ; Harris's Down, 1744. 



Harris should have exercised more caution, and less credulity when in- 

 formed that a local physician had f req^uently gathered ' ' the right female 

 savine " in the Mourne Mountains. The plant was, doubtless, Juniper us 

 nana. 



88. Cepbalantliera pallens Heich. (C. graxdiflora Grai/). 

 In County Antrim ( Whitla) ; Flor. Rib. At Duneane near Antrim 



( Whitla) ; Flor. Uht. 



Specimens of the plant so named have proved to be luxuriant examples 

 of C. ensifolia ; fide Gyb. Sib. 



89. Allsma natans Linn. 

 County Down [TempUton) ; Flor. Hib. 



Some error by Mackay, Templeton in his MS. list quotes "Wade, but 

 mentions no locaKty in the north. 



90. Juncus dlffusus Hoppe. 

 BaUyi-onan, Co. Deny ( Whan) ; Flor. TJlst. 



Accepted by Flora of Ulster, and inserted on insufficient authority. 



91. Juncus nigritellus D. Don. 



On the mountains of Antrim, but rare {Moore) ; Cyb. Hib. 

 A doubtful plant, and should be rigidly confirmed. 



92. Tuncus compressus Jacquin. 



Very common in Derry ; D.M. Frequent in wet places by the sea ; 

 Flor. List. 



Like the preceding, an unsatisfactory plant. AU the specimens we 

 have seen were /. Gerardi. 



93. Eriocaulon septangrulare Withering, 



EathHn Island ; Miss Gage, also Flor. JJlst. 



This sufficiently probable station was at once accepted by Irish bota- 

 nists, but it now appears that there was some unaccountable error, and 

 the plant nowhere occurs on Rathlin. 



94. Potaxnogreton plantagrlneus Du Croz. 



At Magilligan, and not unfrequent in bog ditches in County Antrim 

 [Moore) ; Cyb. Hib. ^ ■
