of P. mucronatus in Ireland, and before being admitted there must be 

 better evidence than has been adduced. The note in Hooker's Flora is 

 based on that in Journal of Botany.

Pools, Conlig Hill, Co. Down, 1844 {Orr) ; Bennett, Jour. Bot., 1881, 

 p. 312. 



The reasons shown for excluding the preceding species apply here also. 

 Not kno^^'n elsewhere in Ireland, and Conlig Hill is too near Belfast, and 

 too well known for the occurrence to have escaped observation. From 

 what has gone before it will be seen, that if the reports referred to were 

 accurate, one collector alone would have added three pondweeds to the 

 Irish flora. The counties of Antrim and Dowti, in which these plants 

 were supposed to be overlooked, form a district as well worked as any 

 equal area in Ireland.

 localities repeated by Harris. Kii-kiston bog, and frequent in boggy 

 situations ; Templeton. 



The plant observed by Sherard, and by Templeton was C. dioica, a 

 pardonable error seeing that these two sedges are very closely allied. In 

 1814 Templeton relinquished the erroneous name, and placed his plant 

 correctly under C. dioica, yet the error was repeated in English Flora, and 

 in the Irish Flora. Mackay, too, though in communication with Temp- 

 leton, failed to make the correction when preparing his Flora Hibernica.
