130 The Rev. Dr. Hincks on the Flora of Ireland. 
p- 118. Meum Athamanta. Mr. 'T.has the following entry: 
“ Athamanta Meum, EK. B. 2249, found plentifully among the 
grass in the lawn at Maryville, Malone; but as I have not 
found it elsewhere, it is probably lately introduced, 1818.” 
Such caution gives more weight to Mr. T.’s authority when 
he does admit a plant. 
p- 135. Hedera Helix. Mr. T. observed that “Ivy growing 
against rocks produces gum.” I have not seen this noted. 
p- 144. Smith, in his ‘ Kerry,’ mentions Cineraria palustris 
and integrifolia, the latter on Knockanore mountains. Have 
botanists looked for these plants? The same author mentions 
Diotis maritima as found on Ballyheigh Strand. Dr. Barker, 
in 1800, mentioned Cineraria palustris as very common in 
the county Waterford; and in one of his letters to Prof. 
Martyn or Mr. Dickson, Mr. Templeton mentions a plant 
resembling a Cineraria, respecting which I do not know that 
he satisfied himself. . 
p- 148. Senecio. Mr.T. has “lividus, EK. B. 2515, found about 
lakes and bogs in the neighbourhood of Ballinahinch, Aug. 
14, 1810.” As he was evidently familiar with Sylvaticus, he 
could not have confounded them, if, as Sir W. Hooker thinks, 
the plant in E. B. was not distinct from it. 
p-164. Hieracitumumbellatum. Mr.Templeton found a Hiera- 
cium at Tullamore, under the Mourne mountains, which he 
could not assign to any species he knew. This was in 1793, 
and he sent specimens to Prof. Martyn, and it was referred 
to in different letters of that period. The Professor, after 
some time, answered, “ that after examining it with Dr. 
Smith (Sir J. E.) and Mr. Dickson (Covent Garden), they 
all thought it wmbellatum.” Myr. Templeton cultivated it in 
his garden, and was at one time inclined to think it might be 
a variety of H. subaudum, but seems’ to have been at last 
satisfied that it was umbellatum. J. White, employed by the 
Dublin Society, said that he found this plant in the Mourne 
mountains about 1803, ten years later. Mr. Mackay speaks 
of it as found in the county Wicklow; and by Mr. D. 
Moore in the county Derry. Both these must have been 
at a much later period. 
p- 216. Betonica officinalis. This’plant is stated in Smith’s 
‘Waterford’ to have been found near Cappoquin, and Mr. 
Templeton marked it as found in the county Waterford, 1801, 
on Dr. Barker’s authority. Mr. Mackay has southern habi- 
tats near Killarney, noticed, I presume, by himself, and he 
adds, “ Shane’s Castle woods, Mr. Templeton.” In Mr, T.’s 
own Flora he does not say that he had seen it wild, but 
quotes ‘ Plante Rariores’ for Shane’s Castle. There must have
