juncace^. 



Juncus compressus, Jacq. Murrough of Wicklow, July, 1890. 

 Cyb. 2 says, "True Juncus compressus (Jacq.), has not yet 

 been ascertained to occur in Ireland." The specimen of 

 Juncus compressus, Jacq., has no ripe fruits ; but the upper 

 part of the stem is so clearly compressed — elliptic in outline 

 in a cross-section of the restored stem, and not trigonous 

 as in J. Oerardi, Loisel — that I think Mr. Levinge's identifi- 

 cation should be accepted, and J. compressus admitted to the 

 Irish flora (T. J.). 



"Juncus lamprocarpus, Ehrh., var. nigritellus (D. Don). Near 

 Cashel Hotel, Connemara, Sept. 13,1891 fide A.. Gr. More. 

 The type is common throughout Ireland, but the variety 

 not mentioned in Cyb. 2, or in Top. Bot.
