Seat, and in places about Edinburgh. Its European range is 

 Greece, Russia, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Sweden (south), 

 Belgium, Italy, Sicily, Dalmatia, Hungary, etc. It is not very 

 easy to see on what grounds either of these two plants should be 

 considered as interlopers in Britain. 



Such plants, Mr. Moore continues, as Myrrhis odorata, Sa- 

 ponaria officinalis, Silybum (not Sylibum, as in the Review, where 

 Anachris is printed instead of Anacharis) Marianus, Cheiranthus 

 Cheiri, Antirrhinum majus, Anchusa sempervirens, Sedum dasy- 

 phyllmn, S. album, Veronica Buccbaumii (not Buxbaumi) , though 

 met with plentifully in some parts of the country, are not con- 

 sidered truly indigenous in Ireland. 



The following are plants only recently detected in Ireland, 

 viz. Lycopodium inundatuni, lately discovered by Henry Lubohm, 

 on the margin of a small lake on the property of James Ellis, 

 Esq., near Letterpack, Connemara, a highly interesting addition 

 to the Flora of Ireland. Hyjjnum megapolitanum is another 

 addition made by Mr. D. Orr and by Mr. Moore " between Mala- 

 hide and Portrane/^ It had only been previously known as 

 growing sparingly near Shoreham in Sussex, and Liverpool. 

 Query, — Southport, where so many rare mosses grow ? 



Galium elongatum is another acquisition. It grows in most 

 meadows near the Boyne. 



Blysmus compressus has been recently found by Mr. John 

 Sullivan, in the county of Cork. It has not hitherto been re- 

 corded from Ireland. 



Additional stations (habitats) are recorded for Allium Scorodo- 

 prasum (not Scorodaprasum as repeatedly printed) and Lathyrus 

 palustris. Of the former the true plant grows in the county of 

 Cork, at Foate, in great profusion. 



Allium arenarium {A. Scorodoprasum, Linn.), of the Irish Flo- 

 ras, is not that species, but a &ta,teo^ A, vine ale. ^^Lathyrus pa^ 

 lustris is no longer a doubtful inhabitant of Ireland. It abounds 

 in the county of Antrim, where it was originally discovered by 

 Mr. Templeton, also in moist meadows, Murrogh, near Wicklow, 

 near Portumna, county of Galway, and in almost every moist 

 meadow on the shores of Lough Erne, in the counties of Ferma- 

 nagh and Cavan. Besides, Mr. Carroll has observed it in the 

 south.
