" Malva moschata, L. (white and pink varieties). Whitehouse. 



" Erodium moschatum, Sm. The beach at Eden, near Carrickfer- 

 gus. 



" Medicago falcata, L." Belfast. The locality noticed above. 



" Lathyrus Aphaca, L. Belfast and Ballyraena Railway, White- 

 house (only two plants). 



" Apium graveolenSi L. On the shore at Eden, near Carrickfergus. 



" Carduus acanthoides, L., Artemisia campestris, L., and Senecio 

 viscosus, L." Belfast. The station contiguous to the railway- termi- 

 nus mentioned above. A specimen of the Artemisia is herewith for- 

 warded for identification. 



" Lathrma squamaria^ L. Whitehouse and Castletou. 



" Symphytum officinale, L., S. tuberosum, L., and Lysimachia 

 Nummularia, L. Whitehouse ; on the banks of a stream irom the 

 shore to the Cavehill. 



" Littorella lacustris, L. Kinnegar, Holywood. 



" Salicornia fruticosa, L. Holywood. Smith, in his ' English 

 Botany,' thinks it a doubtful and not forthcoming plant. It would be 

 of some importance to have such doubts settled." To accomplish, as 

 far as may be, the desire of my worthy correspondent, I herewith send 

 a few specimens of the plant, which he has placed at my disposal. 



" Stratiotes aloides, L., Butomus ut?ibellatus, L., Typha latifolia, 

 L., and Carex riparia, Curtis. Whitehouse dams." The Stratiotes 

 aloides occurs plentifully in a pond at Springfield, Belfast, constructed 

 about thirty years ago. Perhaps some person in that neighbourhood 

 can state positively whether the plant has been introduced or not. 

 This question is the more important, as the claims of this plant to be 

 considered indigenous are not generally granted. 



" Triticum junceum, L. On the beach at Eden, near Carrickfer- 

 gus. 



" Cystopteris fragilis, Bernh. Woodbuni Glen, below the Fall. 



" Botrychium Lunaria, Sw. Knockagh, near Carrickfergus, north- 

 east end, plentiful. 



" Ophioglossum vulgatum, L. In meadows, pastures, &c., on moun- 

 tains near Belfast, to some miles' distance in the Co. Antrim."
