 Galway {Prof. Mdville), and Mayo (A. O. M.) ; in these 

 counties associated with P. LamoUei (Bor.), from which

 a sub-species. Mr. S. A. Stewart reports P. Lecoqui as the 

 only form of P. dubium which he has seen in the counties 

 of Down, Antrim, and Derry. 



[Papaver somniferum (Linn.), the Opium Poppy, occurs here 

 and there occasionally, as a weed among crops, and in waste 

 ground near gardens, but is not indigenous, though it has 

 continued for many years in one at least of its stations, 

 on sandy banks and in fields at Baldoyle, near DubUn.]
