ON INULA SALICINA AS AN IRISH PLANT. 35 
whole of Europe, with the exception of the extreme northern and 
southern parts, and extending through Asia Minor to Persia, where it 
seems to belong to the subalpine region and through European Russia 
into Siberia. The Z»z/a discovered in Ireland, judging from Plate 
XLIII. of the ‘Journal of Botany’ forwarded to me, is the genuine 
I. salicina, and Ireland therefore the north-western limit of this widely- 
diffused plant. With us in the Palatinate the plant is common in 
meadows, on rivulets, and at the foot of small hills, flowering from the be- 
ginning of July till August. I have it from nearly every part of Germany, 
viz. Wiirtemberg, Baden, Bavaria, Austria, and Prussia, as far as Berlin 
(C. Bolle!) I have also seen it from many other parts of Europe, but 
as yet not from Spain, where, according to Loscos and Pardo, Ser. inc. 
Pl. Arragon, it grows in the province of Arragon. In France it is 
abundant, viz. about Paris (Kralik! Leret!), Lyons (A. Jordan !), and 
Mende (Prost!). In Switzerland it was collected by Perty and Lagger. 
In Italy it extends as far as Naples (Gussone!). Other localities are 
Croatia (Farkas Vusotinovio!), Serbia, (Pancic !), Banat (Wierezbicki !), 
Ucrania (Turezaninow !), Petersburg in monte Duderhof (Kórnicke !), 
Sweden (Fries! Herb. Norm. xiv. 2), and Norway, near Christiania 
(Blytt !). In Asiatic Russia, Zuw/a salicina is also widely distributed 
(vide Gmelin, Fl. Sib. ii. 177. t. 77! and Turez. Fl. Baic. Dahur. ii. 
p. 28). From Asia Minor it extends to Persia, viz. in M. Elbrus pr. 
Derbend, July 5, 1843 (Kotschy! n. 4434), Karadagh, July, 1847, 
and Albrus Mountains, June, 1848 (F. Buhse!), and Caucasian Baths 
(C. Koch !). 
“ Broad-leaved forms (I. salicina, B. latifolia, Visiani) I have from 
Dalmatia (Visiani!), Roumelia (Noe!), Russian Armenia and Dara- 
tschitschak (C. Koch !). 
** Inula cordata, Boiss. Diagn. iv. p. 3 ; Walp. Rep. vi. p. 141, which 
Kotschy (Iter Syric. n. 255!) collected in *locis subhumidis supra 
mar Tserkis, alt. 4500, 19 Jul., is identical with Z. salicina, judging 
from authentic specimens communicated by M. Boissier. Exactly the 
same plant I have from Daghestan (C. Koch !). 
“ T. salicina is closely allied to T. visciduia, Kotschy et Boiss. (in an- 
gustis rupestribus Tenz dictis, alt. 6500 ped., die 9 Sept. Kotschy ! 
Iter Cilicico-Kurdistan., 1859, n. 446), but is distinguished at first 
sight by its robust habit, its oval-oblong, attenuate, more sessile, 
slightly serrate leaves, its poly-(26-)cephalous corymb, and its achenia, —
