Hab. Mountainous woods, &c. The famous Yew Tree, near Dunmanway was still 
in existence in July 1815, but in a very decayed state; it measured 15 feet 
in circumference at three feet from the ground. There are fine specimens 
of the yew in the Island of Innisfallen, lower lake of Killarney. There 
is a variety of the Yew, not very uncommon in plantations or shrubberies 
in this country, known by the name of Florencecourt yew, or Irish yew, 
with branches erect like those of the cypress, and with leaves of a much 
darker green than the common. The drupe or berry is also of a dif- 
ferent form from those of the common Yew; it has no where been found 
in a wild state, but was first observed at Florencecourt, the seat of Lord 
Enniskillen.
