100 FAVERSHAM PLANTS. [^CiV, 



the most part confined to the foundations of the old walls ; the 

 other is more generally diffused. Could the difference of habitat 

 sufficiently account for the difference in appearance^ which seems 

 to be principally confined to a more compact habit of growth, 

 shorter flower-scapes, fewer flowers, and narrower divisions of the 

 calyx ? Proceeding from the summit along the ridge overlooking 

 Arra Glyn, I found Sedum Rhodiola, DC, Saxifraga hirta, and, 

 doubtfully, S. caspitosa, L.?, Oxyria reniformis, Hook., and Cys- 

 topteris dentata, Hook., Splachnum ampullaceum, and a few other 

 Mosses. On my descent I followed the course of a stream run- 

 ning towards the south-west, often having to clamber over great 

 boulders. The large-leaved Saxifrages were in great profusion 

 and the Ferns very handsome, though for the most part of the 

 more common spocies. Hymenopliyllum Wilsoni, Hook., was in 

 considerable abundance. I had hoped to fall in with Tricho- 

 manes radicans, Sw., which I learned was still to be found in 

 the neighbourhood of Dingle, but had not the good fortune to 

 meet with it. I was also informed by a resident surgeon that 

 Atropa Belladonna, L., grows near Lord Ventry^s residence, but 

 not being in want of specimens, did not go in quest of it. Ta- 

 marix anglica was plentiful, but as a cultivated shrub. The 

 climate of Dingle is very mild, a proof of which may be had in 

 the case of the common Fuchsia, which attains to the size of a 

 large shrub of fifteen feet or upwards, with a head not less across, 

 and a stem of from two to three inches diameter.
