Hart — Flora of the Wexford and Waterford Coasts. 133 



The maritime Atlantic species on the Waterford and Wexford 

 coasts are : — 



Matthiola sinuata. 

 Eaphanus maritimus. 

 Viola curtisii. 

 Lavatera arborea. 

 Erodium maritimum. 

 (Daucus maritimus). 



Inula crithmoides. 

 Statice occidentalis. 

 Euphorbia peplis. 

 E. par alias. 

 E. portlandica. 

 Asparagus officinalis. 



Several of these do not reach the west. Sciila verna is the only 

 strictly seacoast species of the group which I did not meet with, 

 and my time of search was not sufficiently early for its discovery. 

 It may occur, since it reaches the Wicklow coast, and is confined 

 to the eastern and north-eastern coasts of Ireland. 



The other species of Watson's Atlantic group on these coasts 

 are: — 



Coronopus didyma. 

 Linum angustifolium. 

 Hypericum androsasmum. 

 H. elodes. 

 Erodium moschatum. 



Sedum anglicum. 

 Cotyledon umbilicus. 

 Eubia peregrina. 

 Orobanclie hederse. 

 Scirpus savii. 



Some of these are universally distributed in Ireland ; and most 

 of them are, like th'e rest of this sub-group, commoner in or 

 confined to the west of Ireland. The few Spanish and other 

 south European species which reach the west of Ireland, and are 

 not dealt with in Watson's classification, will be readily included 

 in this sub-group of his Atlantic type. I refer to such species 

 as Erica mediterranea, Daheocia polifoUa, Pinguicula grandiflora, 

 Saxifraga umhrosa, etc., which form the extreme type of the 

 British development of the groups. A division including the 

 species Sihthorpia europea and Erica vagans will naturally embrace 

 these also. The term Hibernian type is, I think, objectionable and 

 unnecessary.
