The Rey. Dr. Hincks on the Flora of Ireland. 129 
mentioned that Smith states it as found wild at Ballymaloe, 
county Cork. 
p. 39. Hypericum elegantissimum non ramosum of Threlkeld, 
is given by Sir J. E. Smith as a synonym of Hypericum mon- 
tanum. 1 find J. White, a gardener of the D. S., quoted as 
having found this last on mountains in the county Louth. 
Underwood, in his catalogue, 1804, says it is found in 
Ireland. 
p- 49. I consulted the Herbarium of the Cork Institution in 
1839, and found there the Cerastium aquaticum as gathered 
by Mr. Drummond on the banks of the Lee. 
p- 76. Astragalus hypoglottis. The largest of the south isles 
of Arran is quoted for this plant as found by Messrs. Ball 
and Thompson in 1834, as it should be, instead of 1804. 
Smith says that he found it in the mountains about Kil- 
larney, county Kerry. ‘ 
p- 79. Trifolium procumbens, 8. Hooker, campestre, found 
by Mr. Templeton at Blackhead and Dunluce Castle, county 
Antrim. 
p- 85. Hedysarum Onobrychis, or Onobrychis sativa, Hooker. 
This plant is stated to have been found by J. White, and was 
admitted as Irish in Underwood’s catalogue. Mr. Templeton 
has recorded that he saw it among Mr. Molden’s specimens, 
gathered between the Black Rock and Malpas’s Monument, 
on a calcareous soil. I am sure, however, that it was in Mr. 
Templeton’s list of introduced plants, which included many 
that have been inserted. 
p- 86. Spirea filipendula is in Molyneux’s list, sent to 
Threlkeld. Was it on this authority that Underwood inserted 
it as Irish? I observe Mr. Mackay has not inserted it. 
p- 110. Epilobium roseum. I was surprised to find this 
wanting in the list. The entry in Mr. Templeton’s hand- 
writing is, “ H. roseum, EK. Bot. 693, found and determined in 
the Orchard, Aug. 13, 1820.” When we consider how par- 
ticular Mr. Templeton was about admitting doubtful plants, 
and that he was a remarkably close and accurate observer, 
this plant has more claim to admission than many which 
have been inserted on a single authority. 
p- 116. Peucedanum Ostruthium, a habitat in the county 
Down, is given on Mr. Campbell’s authority, but no more said. 
Threlkeld has Peucedanum, Hogs’ Fennel, ditches near the 
sea, which is a likely habitat. K’Kogh mentions it, and 
Smith, both in his ‘ Waterford’ and ‘ Kerry,’ stating S.E. 
of Passage in the former county as a habitat. Dr. Barker 
wrote to Mr. T. that he had found a Peucedanum in the 
county Waterford, but the species is not mentioned.
